The most challenging things most people encounter when they first start working with websites and trying to earn money from Google is creating or gathering content for their newly acquired business. Within the last 12 months Google has made changes to their algorithm that severely punishes duplicate content and content farms all across the internet. Even well known websites with large marketing and web development budgets have seen their page rank decrease and their search results for keywords disappear because they didn’t take the time to ensure the quality of their content.

Of course we all want to make money with as little effort as possible, but we still have to remember that if we don’t add any value by what we are doing the dollars will most likely not come. This is not the effect of Google hitting you for some unknown reason, but rather customers on the internet are becoming more savvy each day, and your content needs to be believable, trustworthy and most of all entertaining or useful.
