Hey fellow Warriors,

I have a SEO guest post up over at Problogger.net. I talk about the human side of SEO and what Google wants from us.

If you have time, go check it out and let's have a discussion about it over here (or there).

    They want money in their investor's pockets. Follow the money and then you'll have a better idea on best Google practices.

      Ha! I love it. That is a good reply.

      But... SEO-wise can we really think like that?

      Sites like HubPages and Ezinearticles bring in millions of dollars in AdSense a month, or at least they did.

      But then Google's Panda Update severely affected that. So is it really about just following the money?

      The best thing Google can do for investors is to be the number one search engine.

      The best thing we can do SEO-wise is help it to be that.

        Which should equate to providing the information people want to find when they search for the keywords, not filler which is only designed to get ranked.

        Every step, penalty, and algorithm change Google makes is based upon providing the most relevant results, because in the end, that is what brings the eyeballs to the Adwords ads.

          Agreed Barry. If it was just about money, then tell that to HubPages and Ezinearticles.

          I guarantee they don't think it's just about raking in money for Google.

    I am sure that all Google's algorithm changes are to ultimately bring in more money... After all, aren't "ALL" businesses in business to make the most money possible?

    I fully agree with "Barry Unruh":

    "Every step, penalty, and algorithm change Google makes is based upon providing the most relevant results, because in the end, that is what brings the eyeballs to the Adwords ads."

    Yes, they might loose some revenue immediately after sites are penalized, but on the long run they will make more money.
