Website owners and marketers are obsessed with Google's search results because it is one of the most visible factors in measuring the effectiveness of their on-line (SEO) marketing efforts. Most websites keep their sites up in the results by regular blogging, creative social marketing, and in-depth research and reports. Some websites however found a short-cut farming for clicks by generating articles based on popular searches. By default this SEO plan cannot be categorized as "low-value". But most of the actual content is of low or even no value at all because it is usually duplicate information that people have sees hundreds of times on other websites. You may have tricked the search engines before but this time you are going to sink if no real effort is devoted to internet-marketing.
