Quotes

  • “Google, at least at the minute, they seem to definitely have a preference for that user generated content.” - Ryan Jones

  • “Content creation is getting harder and harder, or maybe if it's not getting harder, it's certainly getting more expensive when we have to try and sort of maybe hire editors to make sure the content is as good as it can be.” - Ryan Jones

  • “Google favors click through rates in the SERP and that kind of thing. They're doing regular tests all the time. And if they see that a result in position 10 is getting more clicks than the result in position one, then it just makes sense for them to move that around. And that's where you see that kind of ranking growth that then leads to more organic visits.” - Ryan Jones

  • “It may seem like an impossible task sometimes when you're writing all this good content and it doesn't necessarily seem to rank anywhere, but keep working on it. It's a long process and it will eventually bear through, even in the current landscape of Google focusing on these bigger companies and user-generated content.” - Ryan Jones
