A cheaper approach would be ANNOTATED sites. Leverage the power of readily available content and use them to target niches. It has to be done the right way or else it will be treated as duplicate content by SEs.
Hi, This is the first I've heard of ANNOTATED sites. What exactly is this concept? How would one go about it? Thanks
There's no mistaking that Google has the internet by the balls. When it comes to driving traffic, Google trumps Yahoo. Since traffic = Gold - many webmasters naturally like Google. Common sense, right? I'm not entirely sure how this is relevant to anything, but sure. You make it sound like you are driving traffic to your site(s) through some other means, besides search engines. I'd like to hear this. This entirely depends on the niche and keywords your targeting. The internet industry is still really young and it's still very easy (with unique quality content and some decent links) to get top spots for targeted keywords. If you are good at SEO you should know that unique content is apart of the ranking formula. I can't understand why you would downplay unique content and Google traffic then say you're good at SEO? looool...
I own an article directory, and I use content from other directories all the time. It works for me. Dale King
Yea, not gonna lie but... Google is pretty much KING... to say the least. Google is everything and you can't deny that.
