Demand Media Escapes Google's Content-Farm Update
The early big-name losers from Google’s recent anti-content-farm search update are out. It has affected some common names who regularly top SERPs for popular queries, according to an index published by Sistrix.com.
Those include Mahalo, Associated Content, ezinearticles.com and examiner.com. In addition, a wsj.com report indicates that traditional media outlets like LinkedIn.com, Facebook.com and the news sites of Time, Fox News and the New York Daily News rose. Also, retailer sites such as Wal-Mart, Target, and eBay rode the search modification wave.
What’s interesting to note is Google does make a distinction between what it considers to be higher-quality content farms like Demand Media, as Sistrix’s chart shows, they were positively affected by the change.
