Official Google Blog: Finding more high-quality sites in search

NOTE: Google has announced some changes about how they are determining search engine ranking worthiness. Other articles about this topic have focused on content mills and stated that DS(ehow.com) stock dipped closing lower, after Google released news about algorithm changes.  One wonders if sites using Google tools such as Blog This or Blogger or Blogspot will be favored or not? It seems that they have utilized reports of blocked sites - does this mean that website owners can manipulate this also? It sounds unlikely but then again if sites can build traffic (unethically) then sites might be able to take down other sites in a simliar manner (unethically).... it remains to be seen.

Sharing information and tips to increase earnings. Increase your passive, residual income. Guest bloggers welcome. Today I was thinking about all the friends I have had on eHow.com, Twitter and other writing sites.   The internet is a big wide world but at the same time can be small.  My friend Coach Mac on eHow.com has been writing for Examiner.com  for a while.   Gayle has always been such an encouragement and has a great sense of humor. Gayle  has some great articles on Examiner.com and even if you don't plan to travel to her state soon, please take one minute and do a Facebook like or SHARE.  Let your friends, who may travel this summer, know about Missouri. Now Gayle doesn't  know I am up to this so don't let her know.  If you think you might want to visit her state or city someday, take  a second and  subscribe to her column. Subscriptions are important to examiner staff (for some reason) and it helps the writer's visibility...
