Do you still recommend using Promosoft? Hi Chris,
I’m wondering if you are still using the software submission approach? Do you still recommend using Promosoft?

Content has always been king, and the mass built sites are dying a slow death - as they should. If you just build good quality content sites, with the user experience in mind, you should not have any problems as Google makes changes. Love you reports! Mike Chris,

Content has always been king, and the mass built sites are dying a slow death – as they should.

If you just build good quality content sites, with the user experience in mind, you should not have any problems as Google makes changes.

Love you reports!

Google's changing algs. just serve as another reminder that quality is important, no matter how much we like to dream and drool about automated web creation robots earning us multi-millions....it's just not gonna happen. You have to find a way to make your sites personal and have them stand out. The human touch is important. That's what wins votes. By the way, Chris - I'm loving your Conduit Method and Reverse Niche Selection reports - they totally rock! Built my first conduit site in a really dumb niche, actually, and still managed to make money in a couple of days from it. I'm psyched about the potentials here. Thanks!

And you are right - If we are doing our work and creating mini-sites with unique content, we should not be worrying too much about this. In the search business, at the end of the day, it is all about relevancy. As long as our content is unique and useful to readers, long-tailed SEO will take effect and targeted traffic will come. Cheow P.S: I love your "Confessions"! Working on my first mini-site now!

If google does eventually bring this in, I seriously doubt it would be anything to worry about unless you are doing purely blackhat SEO, delivering no value whatsoever. If you have even half decent sites then social voting will actually BENEFIT you since the vast majority of sites are complete junk anyway. An affiliate pitch site with a few basic articles and product reviews is already way better than most stuff out there indexed by google. How well you rank in google is totally relative. You don't need to have an amazing/unique value. You just need to be better than the competition...And it's not particularly hard. Good points.
