Create Quality Content for SEO
3/15/2010 Kenneth Varney
Quality content relies on several variables in order to be effective for search optimization. First and foremost, a writer's articles and page content should be trully genuine and informative. Genuine content is that which has not been published previously on another site or blog. A good way of finding opportunity with genuine content is by doing extensive research on the niche that you are associated with. Look for articles and topics, specific topics which you would like to read about or research. Odds are if you search for a specific topic, others will too. When you come across an interesting, relevant topic with limited information available, this could be your micro niche. Specific topics do two things. They offer low competition keyword searches and they offer an easy way of ensuring your article is trully genuine. When writing articles that touch on a new topic, low competition keywords are the way to go. These keywords are more specific to your page content and should be well explained within your writings. Make sure your article can be hit on several keywords or phrases by choosing high volume keywords as well. Inform your viewers of and about these keywords and structure your page content so they appear often without being viewed as stuffing (keyword stuffing). Keyword stuffing is the act of filling pages with keywords or phrases while the page content itself offers no real use or information pertaining. Your next step is making sure that your content is informative, very informative. Being informative means educating your viewers if you have to. Think back to when you were researching and learning about your topic or niche. What information would have made it easier to learn about this topic? How many sites did you have to go through to learn what you have? Would it be easier to combine information from several articles to learn this topic? These are questions to ask yourself when writing informative content. Will people be able to learn from my articles? Does my page content provide new and/or useful information for this topic? Would I have benefited from reading this? Viewers are easily turned away from articles that offer no real useful information. This same idea applies to search engines. Because search engines are in business to return high quality results, they do not want to have sites with little or no useful information at the top of their rankings. The idea of using quality content is something that Matt Cutts repeats over and over. Many people think that there is some easy way to get to the top of a search result without putting in the time. The truth is, a site that offers no informative, useful information is actually hurting itself. 3/15/2010 Kenneth Varney
