This post won’t be too long, just jam-packed with goodness.
In doing a bit of research in my downtime this week, I noticed that TONS of my articles had be thieved from the various content sites (now deemed “FARMS”), e.g. ezinearticles.com, goarticles.com etc…
Basically, there are thousands of blogs just stealing content from these farms, and because google has dis-credited these so-called ‘farms’, the thieves are ranking as the original source!
It’s like the fake jordans getting sold on ebay for more than the originals.
Anywho, I could post dozens of examples, but its very easy to see what’s going on. Just pick any ol’ article on goarticles.com, and google a phrase from the article in quotes.
The farmer update did ‘some’ good, and I openly acknowledge that (even though it hurt some of my business). But, this just encourages thievery, and kills ANY benefit that could have still been gleamed from real article marketing.
