** A story of content wanting to be king…

Over the past 6 months I have been putting together web sites, trying all the different ways to get good targeted traffice to eash and every on of them.

You know what I mean, using Google ad words, setting up Google sense, SEO every page etc.

My findings after spending many hours on the PC looking at all the options is still the same as it was 6 months ago, CONTENT is KING, simple. ## On the Internet content is king and always will be.

This is because the Internet is still known as the information superhighway and always will be.

People use it for information of some sort, and you know when the internet or parts of the superhighway are getting ‘main stream’ when you hear terms like ‘Just Google it’ in chat shows and prime time sit coms!

## Broken down in to smaller pieces, all information on a website is its content.

Generally the more useful and interesting content a website has the more successful it will be, so having a core subject and many sub categories, more and more people will want to visit it again and again. This is especially true if a website is constantly adding more and more content on a regular basis be it articles, tutorials, news and opinions.

## Where do you go to buy online?

There are millions and millions of products available to buy on the web, just look at the growth of e-Bay and to some extent you-tube.

Viral marketing is massive and used correctly you start to see the real benefit of good quality new content, added / updated every day. If you have a membership site this is done by the good people that use your website.

## Do you just surf?

Chances are that the odd surfer goes online to specifically look for a product, which you sell, say ‘blue widgets’, so if you gear your site to simply sell ‘blue widgets’, and nothing else you won’t be very successful, and that’s hard but simple fact.

This is because nobody will even visit your site unless they’re looking specifically for your blue widget and they just so happen to find it via a search engine and that can really be hit and miss.

## Right, you now know that content is king but do you know what good content is?

Again, simple, that way to create good content for your website is to be sure that your content will have specific appeal to your target audience; do you know who your target audience is?

There are so many people out there that put as website together and have not even given consideration as to what their audience wants, or even who their target audience is.

## Original content, the King of Kings

If someone asked me what I considered good content I’d say that it has different and unique and not the same as the content on the other website I just came from.

## Good content will show your own personality and flavour in it.

It will be informative and interesting and you must put some effort in to all this writing.

You may as well do a good job other wise what’s the point of putting it online in the first place?

Use regular English as far as possible and your content should be easy to understand, be carful to not to use to much topic specific words that, you understand as you have been making blue widgets for the past 20 years, you could cause trouble for some visitors. Always explain topic specific words to the reader.

## Write news and articles

The best way to create content is to simply write news and articles about the industry your product is in. This ensures that visitors who read your content are also the visitors that are likely to be interested in buying your product, or using your service.

If you feel you’re great at creating products but don’t feel the same way about your writing skills and think you can’t write your own content there is a web site that can stop all your Stressful Days and Nights Spent Writing Content at a Speed That Just Never Seems Fast enough…

## Writing can be the most grueling task online.

I’ve written many articles, books, and publications so I can very much empathize with you.

You try everything you can to aide your writing to hopefully make it easier…

1) Searching for ideas on Google

2) Creating content outlines

3) Writing interview questions

If you where to hire someone form ‘eLance’ or any of the other outsourcing websites online you’d get a quote of $20-$75 per article depending on what you wanted them to write.

** Remember before you publish new content always always check spelling and grammar

** Remember people don’t generally buy from companies they think are unprofessional.

Always try to update your content as much as possible as more people will become regular visitors and will be exposed to the products and services you offer.
