Creating useful contents for visitors

Hi,

Many will agree that creating useful contents and tools for a website is primary in SEO. Some of the things that I learnt from my experience are:

• Understand the need of public
• Write what people want to read and link
• Do research before you write
• Choose a topic that you know or you intend to learn over the period you write
• Niche forums will help you identify Voice of customers (VOC) on what people are looking in your niche
• Be polite, engage with people, admit your mistakes and your website will grow as you grow

Please add in your thoughts.
