The Importance of Content Marketing

Article Writing & Content Writing Services

It isn't a surprise that content is a very important and popular aspect of marketing for any business industry and size. Businesses know that creating high quality content takes time and research, and like other things, cutting corners isn't an option.

Bing wrote a very eye-opening article about content and content distribution:.

“As the author of the content, you don’t have much to worry about. Your deal is to write and then be seen across a range of websites. The websites, however, have some cause for concern, as the engines are unlikely to simply rank the same article highly over and over, just because that article appears on a different domain.”
The trend I see growing in content marketing is the same thing that happens in many industries, a few bad apples ruin it for everyone. Prime example is Google’s recent Panda updates which really put a spear through many content farms that used to syndicate content or accept sub-par quality articles simply for the sake of ranking.
