I'm an Internet marketer who uses blogs to make money online. Most of my readers are bloggers who are trying to be Internet marketers. There is a difference. If you think that there is an actual debate over whether content or links are the most important elements in making money online then you are a blogger. If you know that links are all that matters then you are an Internet marketer.Quality content? What exactly is quality content? Really. Someone tell me. And while you are at it please tell me how a machine can tell if a post is written by the ghost of William Shakespeare or pounded out by a high school dropout. Quality is a subjective term and no two humans will ever agree on what constitutes quality writing never mind a machine doing it.Content is necessary to Internet marketing in so much as it is appropriate to the niche that is being targeted. Content is little more than using the right keywords in the right places and surrounding them with relevant text. The Google algorithm does understand how to rank sites based on these factors. It doesn't rank sites on the basis of who writes better. Content only needs to be relevant, it does not have to be good. If you believe that it has to be "quality" content then you are a blogger who is targeting a "social" niche and you want your traffic to return again and again. Why I have no idea. If you have readers then you aren't an Internet marketer. You are a social blogger.Internet marketers target niches that make money for them. They don't target niches that attract bloggers. They don't use social media. They don't post comments on social sites. They don't chat on forums. They don't write for readers. They build sites that target specific terms and then they spend all their time gathering backlinks in order to rank number 1 on Google. I'm going to show you why social bloggers don't have a chance against an Internet marketer.
