Yep, that's what I said. Creating good content ALONE is not enough and never will be. The internet, like life is not a meritocracy. Just because you write great content doesn't mean Google will do you a favor and feature it. You need to promote it, which is what linkbuilding post-Panda is all about. Not blog commenting, forum spamming, or submitting to directories.

But telling someone to "just write good content" is like telling a programmer "just create a good product". The world doesn't work like that. You need to hustle, shout and say Look at how awesome this site/app/article is! Link to me! I don't like it that much, but that's how the game is, and if you don't play it accordingly, you'll end up with awesome content and no visitors.
