Is really EZA going crazy? I don't think so...
Posted 17th October 2008 at 12:12 PM by richdirtygirl
Lately there have been a lot of people reporting changes in EZA policy that break what was a nice system to get traffic to our websites...
More than one mentioned that it went crazy...
I don't think EZA is crazy at all... annoying for us... yes, but crazy... nope!
It is a really good source of traffic mainly because google has an affair with it and it is very easy to find the articles in first page...
Before the duplicated content filter... it was good in itself because other people would take your content and republish it. But nowadays... google wants original content, so this is not an option anymore...
Here is what I think is going on... there is too much rewritten content around... it is a necessity for us, but it is not what the searcher really wants... a searcher wants to collect different facts from different articles, if I read 10 articles and they all have the same info, no matter how well written they are... I am not learning anything new, am I?
Now, like google is not stupid (at all), they already noticed this... and like EZA doesn't want to be slapped like Squidoo, they are covering their butts before Google slap them...
Bottom line... I am starting to create content instead of re-creating it... guess this is another "trick" that will not work anymore...
