Well it’s has appeared to have finally happened. The ride is over and Google has cracked down on micro niche and Xfactor style websites in their index. Now I can’t say this for sure 100% and all sites are not effected, but I can say for sure that since the update last month most of my sites have taken a big dive and AdSense earnings are half of what they were.

What is really strange is that one of my newer sites I started to build had what I thought to be a higher quality of content as opposed to poorly written content or just poor product descriptions that most people implement to build there sites with.

Now as far as back links are concerned they are for the majority coming from the same spots. What even stranger is that my sites that I started out with which I solely linked only with EzineArticles links seem to be doing the best in the search engines and benefiting the most from those links which don’t have much IP diversity. So is IP diversity really that important as everyone preaches in SEO? That’s the main reason I abandoned the Xfactor method as far as link building because he relied solely on Ezine and GoArticles for back links.

I going to change things up a bit. If I’m going to be building all these sites I’d rather build a big authority site on a topic I have interest in and can write about as opposed to outsourcing some five page site with mediocre content and building lots of poor back links to compensate for a few powerful ones.

My verdict on the micro niche sites is this. Keep building them but only for short term income and fast profits for selling. I think they can still be valuable to flip and sell niche blogs as opposed to wasting your time building them up over time and trying to maintain above the fold rankings on page one.

Look at it this way, if you really spend the time to create some excellent content, people will link to you and make your job easier. Only poorly written content needs to be manipulated by people to rank high as it is not valuable to the end user.
