I know I know, it sounds like a dumb question. But I guess I've never really thought about SITE content, and.. and due to some responses from another post, I see that I've overlooked it. For a long time I always thoguht that content pages on a website simply get LONG TAIL searches.... but, another question has come to mind. Read on. Imagine I have two sites that are identical in structure. Here they are: Site A Niche: Dog Food 5 "Dog Food" Related Articles on Site Site B Niche: Dog Food 20 "Dog Food" Related Articles on Site Both sites have 40 inbound links that point at their main pages, and use variations of the keyword "Dog Food". My questions: Will Site B always outrank site A because it simply contains more relevant content??? If the articles on each site have an anchor that says DOG FOOD, will the content help push up the main pages in the SERPs?
Hi Having Good content for website have great impact regarding SEO you should publish content on your site from the user point of view not search engine point of view. For taking proper guidelines you can take SEO Tools because Best SEO Softwares can take great impact for your online business.
Each new page of content a website has, is another set of internal links to your other pages. These internal links are from a highly relevant page due to its content. Having many pages focused around a particular theme also helps show the search engines what your website is about. As you mentioned, each new page of content can also be a landing page targeting different keywords. So it can also help bring in more direct traffic. So you should keep adding as much relevant, quality content as you can. Site B won't always outrank Site A though. The quality of backlinks plays a bigger factor in ranking. Site B might happen to attract more natural backlinks with its content though.
Hi all, I'm pretty new here but I'd like to add my comment. I've never really understood this SEO thing but that has not prevented me from getting really good high placement on Google. I have a book-related site with all the items individually listed. I use templates to list each item. Any page will have the following: The title of each item as the link (eg the_man_with_the_golden_gun_ian_fleming.html) Short description in the meta tags (eg First edition, first print, signed copy published by Jonathan Cape in 1963) More detailed description in the page body, including book condition etc The book title/author also in the main body and placed inside H1 tags A short description of the book taken from the dust jacket/promotional blurb There may be one or two other things I have missed but that's basically what I do and it works wonders for me. It may of course help that potential customers actually type in the book title, but that's half the battle anyway. I used to have the books in a store script that did not allow page names to be changed, so all I got as a URL was http://mysite.com/page123.html, which didn't get placed anywhere. I think as long as page headings, page names and page content all relate to each other without overdoing it on the keyword side, you should be okay. Best wishes Bob (book-trawlerman)
This is a very good post and bears re-reading, especially the comments about (1) relevant internal links and (2) the larger site having more pages with targeted keywords. Concerning point (2) — targeted keywords — I have a different set of targeted keywords for every single page in my website and, to the best of my knowledge, every single one of those pages is getting search engine traffic to those keywords. The more well-written pages, full of keyword-rich content, the better. If you write well and do good SEO, you can draw traffic to all your pages.
Sites with more content on them are seen as having more credibility in the search engines. Also if you get links to your internal pages for relevant keywords (and not just your home page) you'll receive more organic traffic on those keywords. You have to build up content gradually over six to eight months before your site "ages" in Google's eyes, and then it will be seen as more of an authority site. Backlinks alone won't do it, I'm afraid. You need to also be updating your site. Dan
Who are you making your sites for? If the answer is YOU then you are not going to make it. You build sites for people other than yourself. And if they hit your site and there is no value, then there is no money to be made.
Even though I don't have many years of experience in SEO, one thing I can share with you: quality content beats almost everything. During link building, I found that exchanging articles between websites are far more valuable than getting back links from lots of websites which are not theme related. So if you think about this, than I guess we can agree that quality matters a LOT!!!!!
