Thanks for the update...

Definitely, regularly updated content rocks.

 

Nice read! Thanks.

 

Content has always dominated in the search. Actually, Google reveals its close attention to the text. That's right!

 

Thanks for this important information

 

Yes, Content is the king, he explained every thing in good manner.

 

Content relevancy is important. That's what the article is saying. The title is misleading.

 

hey thanks dear for this important info...

 

Fair enough

 

I especially like the recommendation to "create unique and compelling content on your site and the web in general ... do original research..."

That is what drives me personally — that is, offering unique, original content. I have no interest whatsoever in essentially duplicating something a dozen (or a thousand) others have already posted on the web. My entire purpose is to offer original content. Otherwise, why bother? Someone else is probably already doing the often-published stuff better than I can do it.

 

Looks good, Content is the main thing for sure..
Unique content can help you be original.

 

thanks for the info. I have noticed this more and more when seeing many pages rank better than websites I know have lower pr

 

thanks for your useful information.

 

Thanks for the update Great post

 

Thanks.

You should try to update at your site daily. Although it can be hard, it's really worth it.

Thanks for pointing that article out. I have been saying this for years and you still have those crappy sites that copy everything they can find or steal. Quality content should always be number one on any webmasters list

 

Thanks for posting the articles, they definitely reinforce the primary goal.

 

Great reference Minstrel, thanks for posting the resource here.

 

content is important but from my experience, you need alot of backinks to get high rank..
