The situation of content writers before the penguin update
I have myself worked as a freelance content writer for years and I sincerely believe that it is an underpaid job. One can make more money by devoting the same amount of time in other ventures like SEO. Before the penguin update, ranking in search engines was all about backlinks.
No one cared about good content. Thus the content writers always had hard time getting good payment for their work. In fact, before the update, many of the webmasters were successful to rank their websites even with content generated through software and article spinners.The situation of content writers after the penguin update
But the situation has changed completely after the Google penguin update as the importance of content has increased manifolds in terms of search engine rankings. Google has clearly stated that the webmasters should now focus mainly on providing informative, useful content to its readers.
The websites that have engaging content will be benefitted in search engine rankings. At such, the demand of content writers is also increasing. With this increased demand the writers can not only charge a good amount of money but they also have sufficient work to generate a decent income.
I also believe that the things will only get better from here. Google is determined to throw out the crappy websites from search results and I will not be surprised if it comes with more updates in future giving more value to quality content on a website.How can the content writers earn more after the Penguin update?
If you are working as a content writer, you can certainly expect higher pay for your work. You should tell the buyers about the value of quality content after these updates and they will certainly understand.
I have observed that the experience article writers have already started increasing their rates per article. In order to provide good results to the buyer, you should also remain updated about the recent changes and modify your writing style accordingly.
