Backlinks from Article Directories

[bigcat1967]

Just wondering since the latest Google algo rollout - content farms like Hubpages & EZA have dropped - will the value of the backlinks from these sites drop as well?

They are dropped just because low quality contents on the site. Mostly people used it for backlinking purpose .

so value of the backlinks on those article sites will surly drop

web 2.0 sites still have their place. Just make sure you dont just get backlinks from those source. Vary your source to make your campaign successful.

That's right, do it as if you were managing your stocks portfolio.

Don't buy your shares just from a single company and it won't hit you so hard when their share price drops a bit.

Same goes for your links, they are still valuable, however, you should put more energy in other forms of link building.
