MayDay Update – What’d I tell ya About Quality Content?
June 18th, 2010
You have probably read, heard or Tweeted about last month’s Google update, nick-named ‘MayDay’ update. I’m not here to tell you about the update itself, there are plenty of posts up all over the place for that. If you haven’t seen them here are a few:

In the end the update appears to be an algorithmic update that seems to be causing some fluctuations with long tail phrases. The point I am desperately trying to make is that even with this update, as with every update Google every makes, the idea is to always create quality content, and you should be fine.

Ah – yeah, where have you heard that before? yeah, I know, it just makes good Websense.
