Content Mills Are Dead

Yes, you probably already know about this.

However, I stopped writing for a few of these places over the summer because I had other Important Things going on. I’m just now returning to places like Breakstudios (which I didn’t really like as much ultimately anyway) and other sites that I used to write quick articles for, and I’m seeing that they’re virtual ghost towns. This is, of course, related to last summer’s Google Panda update.

I can’t say that I miss one of them – most of the articles were badly named in the name of getting more search hits and I had to include words inorganically just to generate more hits at times. However, it kind of bites that the other ones have lowered amounts left to write.

Things change, though. We’ll get through this. Time to go work on my other projects during this three day weekend. Laundry is in the dryer.
