The Problem With Google

Google and other search engines get you lots of traffic and everyone wants it. For improving search engine ranking to get more traffic, you can do “On Page SEO: and Off Page SEO.” In case of “On Page SEO” you have controllability but not in case of “Off Page SEO” you do not have much control. Again after some time once you perform all the “On Page SEO”, you cannot influence it much. Then it mostly depends on the age of the domain and your site. For reaching a good Page Rank, you need to perform huge amount of work. But what f you do not want to wait long to get your website out of the Google sandbox and get a good search engine ranking? Then use the Web 2.0 sites.

Many people fear the idea of hosting their content on other sites. They fear the lack of control. Many people say they will host the content on their own host rather than posting it on other’s sites. People talk about control and earning 100% revenue from their content and they show these causes as not using Web 2.0 sites.
