Google sure loves thin affiliate sites

At the same time I notice that also my WhiteLabel keeps ranking in the top... a WL that is similar to 1000's or maybe 10.000's of other Wl's... Again.. Google sure loves thin affiliate sites

Conclusion... content doesn't matter anymore... You can spend hours and hours a day writing unique and relevant content like me.. because you thought (like me) that google will appreciate your hard work. The opposite it true... in the end you only need a few articles or just a WL and 10000 backlinks... Writing unique quality articles doesn't help you one bit if you do not have enough backlinks...

actually I think the only thing that matters now is backlinks

google...
