How to Write Good Website Content
Everyone knows someone who knows how to turn a nice phrase. Beware of turning your web content over to someone who doesn't have relevant experience or the discipline to research your industry. I had a friend who owned a construction business who hired a "professional writer" to write content for his website, but that content never came. His "professional" was a lady who spent 10 years writing (and publishing) articles about toddler issues. The writer was just out of her comfort zone so the content never came, the customer got frustrated and the website never launched. A good lesson for everyone. Get qualified professionals who know how to incorporate valid, searchable keywords with relevant content. Remember, no one is searching keywords like, "Pretty Flash Image," or "proud to serve the good people of our community" to find you. Good, effective web content
1. is information that is relevant to your business.
2. is filled with the keywords that people are using to find the product or service you offer.
3. is not information to trick visitors to your site to get them to buy something totally unrelated.
4. is not rocket science.
You don't need to hire a professional writer to write every last word of content. You do need to acquire professionally written information, but, unless your product or service is new to the marketplace, the smart way to go is to buy prewritten information in the form of articles or data feeds unless you have the budget to actually hire a writer who specializes in your industry. There's nothing wrong or unethical with turning to your manufacturers to ask if you can leverage some of the work they have had professionally produced. Most often, manufacturers produce their materials specifically to help distributors sell their products.
Always approach content with the intention of offering solid help and information to your potential clients.

- [quote="GT Bulmer":102twzd2]Hi, Evan:

Hi GT - I woke up thinking about this post and I have a challenge for you for May if you're up to it.
Here it is: Write the blog post / article you were born to write. Write something that you can pour your heart and all your passion into. Write something where you can change the life of the person reading it. Write something where if you look back in 10 years you'll be really proud of what you created.
Can you do that?
I'd love to read it (and I bet a lot of others will too!)
Re: Meta Tags
- [quote="ChrisH":tzc1bohg]I'm just curious what you all think -- -
How important do you think meta tags are? If the content is keyword optimized and they are being used correctly (as per Google's current instructions) how important are meta tags??
Chris[/quote:tzc1bohg]
Metatags were very important 10 years ago. Now, search engines are smarter...
There are 2 very important things on your page:
1/ Page title: make sure to place some keywords in your title (avoid title like "welcome to my website, great information resource". You are wasting prime keyword real estate.
2/ Content. Content. Content. Content. Content. Oh, did I mention content?? Your content as to mention your main keywords several times.
3/ <h> and <b> tags are very important too. They tell search engines you emphasize these keywords.
Re: Best looking social networking site?
- Hi Kevin
[quote:3h76yt08]With so many social networking sites to pick and choose from, what influences your decision to join a particilar site? Is it just your friends, the content, people using it or looks??[/quote:3h76yt08]
For me, the most essential criteria in selecting a Social Networking Site is its Content followed closely by popularity- in terms of daily visitors. Then comes the Content followed by the Friends and looks.
Most of do social networking to attract traffic to their website(s) and as such the Content and Popularity of the site are important.
btw, the list doesn't have digg or netscape or del.is.us which are the top social media sites.
