Sorry to have to tell you this, but every time I see that statement it makes me cringe. Content has nothing to do with it. G's actions over recent years have
proven this. If content was king, there would not be the multitude of relevant, unique one-of-a-kind, useful, needed webpages and entire websites being trashed from their index--while the spammy blackhat useless search engine bait pages remain. Like all the bogus BS in the index that shows for searches from Ebay (where the auctions ended and the page "died" a year ago); Amazon (where you can see countless "this item is no longer available", etc.); Dealtime, Bizrate and the like (where you have "There is no information for this item", and even "
your search returned no results", etc.,
which is obvious blatant dynamic cloaking bait pages which G allows them to do, of which a similar form also happens at the WMW website
who has G as one of their sponsors); Wiki pages ("This page does not yet exist"); and the countless bogus useless SE bait pages with "causality loop" links on them that go back to themselves, the list goes on and on. These blatant blackhat useless pages can appear on the
first pages of results. While you have countless millions of webpages that are relevant, needed, and useful, whitehat, and being toiled over by their site owners, that are being deleted in lieu of that kind of BS.
What is "king", is
your name, who links to you, and
PR. If you have "a name", a high
PR, and are lucky enough to have site owners
with the need to link to you, you can get away with anything and be at the top of the results. G has been at war with the "little guys" for several years now. It's their goal to push them all out of the index
and out of business, and leave the big name monopolies in, regardless of their guideline-breaking actions.
Content
used to be king, it
should be king, but unfortunately it no longer is.
