The effectiveness of nonsense content
- SEO |
From what I understand, in SEO, content is essentially king. However in the last few weeks I have been looking around at buying an established blog and using my contacts to essentially improve on the site and increase the monthly profit.
In my search though, I have found many sites with legitimate analytics, and often with very transparent adsense earnings (in the range of $100-$1000/month) with content that is essentially keyword-stuffed nonsense. This may be because the owner or writer of the blog is not a native English speaker, however it doesn't explain the amount of organic visitors and apparent profits of the site.
Is there something I'm missing here? Or am I possibly over-thinking this? Obviously Google can't be expected to totally remove all nonsense websites, but how is it that these sites continue to make steady profits with legit visitors (many from the English speaking countries)? Should I be taking the plunge and buying one of these blogs, hoping to improve SEO? Or will the long-term benefits of legitimate content outweigh the apparent ease of keyword-stuffed blogging? Maybe the best option is a mix between the two. Hopefully someone who has had success with these sorts of websites can chime in.
I greatly appreciate any help.
