So-called ''content farms'', which generate a lot of content by republishing content, have experienced a 30 to 70 per cent drop in Google organic search traffic, and the effect on web traffic has been instantaneous, according to statistics seen by Mr McKeown.
Hallelujah!!!!! Praise be to Google.
This part is particularly eye-roll-able:
Media reports suggest that the US online text and video content company Demand Media is among those hurting. The company said it would not comment beyond a recent blog post, in which its media and operations chief, Larry Fitzgibbon, wrote: ''We're in the trenches listening, learning, adapting and innovating - and we are very excited about the opportunity in front of us.''
Many of these companies are innovative merely in ways that drive traffic to sites through misdirection and deception. They should consider becoming productive organizations that provide something useful to the world.
