Recently Google made algorithm change to deindexed and remove low quality search results. How has this change affected the different link building methods (like article directory submissions, blogposts, forum post, blog comments, social bookmarks etc)? Which link building methods are still relevant and useful? For eg. some say article directory submissions are less useful now as article directories have been devalued by Google.
the article directories have lost of lot of rankings due tot this change this is why ezinearticles no more accept articles smaller than 400 words
Other option is that you can enlarge your topic. You can put your website into business category in various directories.
Article marketing is still worth it, and with the new rules Ezine came out I actually like them more now.
Badly spun material has dropped right out of the index. Whole spam farms have been de-indexed because they tried to use '$80 spinners'. You get, as they say, what you pay for. This was a *really* simple 'catch' for Google - picking up badly constructed grammar is *very* simple. Cheap spinners when used in 'automatic' mode, simply stuff your text with easy-to-spot errors. Or should I say (and I quote 'easily thing your writing by easily spotted erroneous elements'.
I have heard this too, that now Article submission is less worth for link building however I am not sure what other methods will do great for link building now.
