Posted by gemsuraj on September 16, 2007
Text content is one of the most important parts of your website optimisation effort. Without text content, search engines won’t give your site high page ranking, even if you offer everything your customers are looking for. There are a few ways to optimize your content.
- Quantity
Search engines place importance on the quantity of text content. No matter the type of your website is, you should have at least 250 words for each page. The more text you have, the more chance that your site will match the search engine results. Otherwise, you are losing chances of being highly ranked by search engines. In addition, you should have more pages as possible as you can.
- Quality
It’s not only the quantity of content which matters – quality is also very important. Having lots of relevant content with right keyword phrases is helpful of getting ahead of the other websites. Nobody is quite sure what keyword density should be, but the agreeable density should be 3% to 7%. However, don’t insert keywords into your page content that isn’t specifically relevant to. After all, human visitors are the first important group while visiting your site.
- Update frequently
Once your website is live you should consider about changing the content on your pages on a regular basis. Your original pages will not stay at the top of the SERPs without any fresh contents. Updating your content on a regular basis will increase your relevancy.
- Blogging and RSS Feeds
Blogging and RSS Feeds are great ways to show the visitors your thoughts on new relevant features of your industry. Blogging will inform the search engines and directories automatically that you have added new contents in. RSS feeds let your users receive the new information on your site and it can also assist directories to find new contents.
