What is quality content ?

All the people are talking about "quality and unique content", what is behind this definition ? Unique content is automatically quality content ?
If i write 1000 words about "seaside", how many times is recommended to use tha word "seaside" in this text ?

 

In my understanding quality content is relevant content. If your site is about dogs, you should probably write primarily about dogs, occasionally about cats, and probably never about cars.

I think unique means content written by you, the site owner, in your own words, and not stolen/owed somewhere else.

 

Unique content means your own content without any duplicate. While quality content means good and interesting content. Which is full of information for the readers. And not just create to rank in search engine with full of keywords stuff.
Unique content doesn't mean that its quality content because you can create a unique content with no sense at all.

 

Are we thinking alike?

 

in my opinion , quality coontent is orginal and intresting content for your visitors.

 

As for percentages: AFAIK, acceptable percent of keyphrases in the overall content is about 5-7%. Thus, in 1,000 word text it's ok for the "seaside" to appear in up to 70 phrases. Theoretically...

 

I think good blogs are the demonstration of quality content sites: top bloggers always write unique, relevant, and interesting content.

 

somewhere i've read that 3% is enough...

 

lol...if your dog eats as much Pedigree as your BMW eats petrol probably it worths to to draw an analogy..

 

Ok, i got the idea, but what about the density of the word "dogs" in 1000 words content about dogs ?

 

The word "dogs" is not enough to have it as a keyword... i presume you will use it in some words combinations... to say... dogs lead, or dogs toys... or anything you want to be it a targeted keyword. Ok, the major thing is not to overuse keywords in your article. Use the keyword in the title, then use it in the first 100 characters in the article body and again in the final lines.

Well, within 1000 words its ok to use one keyword for 5 times.... otherwise your article will look like stuffed with keywords and your reader will go away and never come back to your site....

 

For me quality content is when people want to link to it from their sites.

 

There is no relation between quality content and unique content.

If I carefully pick 10 good articles from ezinearticles.com and make a site out of it, the site has quality content which is not unique.

If I use an article generator to make 10 different copies of the same article and then make a site out of it, the site has unique content, but of poor quality.

Search engines can recognize unique content and relevant content, but only a human can judge what is good quality and what is bad quality.

If your users like what they find on your site, it is quality content.

 

What it means is that: will your content really benefit your reader?

 

Actually, I wouldn't advise stuffing more than, say, 1-2% of phrases with keywords.

 

Unique relates to a brand new perspective, let's say, that one can read in your content. Quality is, basically, quality - uniqueness + quality bring flows of visitors to your website. That's my share.

IMHO, Worfik provided the best answer here. In retail, the number one most important thing you can ask your customers is "Will you recommend us"? Same thing, and the most telltale sign of something successful.

About keywords - I wouldn't focus too much on individual keywords (unless you're talking about something that's relatively obscure), but rather pairs or groupings of specific keywords. As more and more content is indexed, individual keywords bring you less and less relevant results when you're searching. Ie., putting dogs into a search engine is way too broad and you're likely to get 10 results on 10 different aspects of dogs. Rather, (and I'm curious if anyone has seen reasearch about this), I would expect the vast majority of users to search for 2-5 keywords when looking for something, so as to narrow their results down to something more relevant.

 

yeah i agree but what i wanna add is quality content doesnt mean unique!
you might ask why because people can jsut copy or duplicate the quality content from other site and put it on their own sites and you never know.

 

Quality content to me is something that is useful to your visitors and helps them out. Then you'll gain their trust and they'll have more interest in your site. It takes some skill to be able to strategically place keywords in the content yet make the content seem perfectly natural.
