I never thought of the word count thing as much of a hardship. I honestly write pretty long anyway! I don't mind a lot of these measures though. They do seem to have reduced the amount of crappy content that I'm seeing, even if it can be frustrating. I think what's more frustrating to me is that sometimes I feel like you have to be a bit of a "personality" to really gain a following--that it's not necessarily enough to just offer good content. If you're not comfortable being a "personality" then you've got a little bit more of an uphill battle ahead of you. I agree with Lisa–so much of it is about relationships!

The vast majority of searches on the social media network for professionals are done through a filter of personal connections. LinkedIn is really even more of a popularity contest than Twitter.

It is worth a second reading. Some times we must search into our selves to find the answers. Do we want to play the game by the rules? Who writes the rules and do we have respect for that entity? Is there a higher power that abides by ethics and morals and self respect? In the end, I think writing your best by literary standards will come out ahead when all is said and done.

I agree with Tom Shiver though that there is too much change at Google recently. Leave it alone. There will always be a minority of people trying to game the system to get higher rankings, but only a minority. Content has always been king, as long as it is quality and relevant.

I suppose they have to do something to prevent come from scamming the system to get on that preferable page one of Google because of course that means revenue back to the business. Trouble is, it seems that today only the big boys/girls have the money and resources to stay abreast with all the changes so we lose site of some very good sources of informational websites.

Everything keeps changing due the the Google algorithms and rules as the big guns attempts to manipulate the system, and the bloggers have to respond in kind to reach their target audience. We are left in the lurch. Keep telling us your observations and providing solutions. All the best, Debby Dear David – We can all learn a lot by reading your blogs.

I don't tend to worry so much about the Google algorithms. Of course, my organic approach of building my audience one person (one heart) at a time is probably not seen in a positive light by internet marketers who are all about numbers, stats, data, and conversions. I always learned from my own mentors to write for people, not the search engines. Thanks for sharing this information here in this post.
