That's not true at all, as Google as no way of surfacing new content.
Write the best, most authoritative article on a topic in the world, and if you simply put it out there without doing marketing (getting others to link to it), no one will ever find it on Google. If it's in the SERP it will be on page 9000.
This is the biggest mistake I see startups doing, simply creating content and hoping it surfaces to the top of Google.
- gnaritas 13y agoOne article won't get any site ranked, but a site with many good articles will build traffic regardless of SEO. Saying otherwise is selling snake oil.
- ry0ohki 13y agoI think you are mistaking causation with correlation. Google is a machine and does not know what "good articles" are without outside signals.
- sejje 13y agoThis is wrong. Basically once you get indexed, the best content will rise to the top. Google is not weighing exclusively on inbound links anymore.
- ry0ohki 13y agoHow does Google know it's "The best content"? Because people will link to it, share it on social media etc... How do people find it to do that? By marketing it. Google will not rank you prominently merely on you creating content.
