Perhaps my methods are simple, but they seem to work well for my niche. I write the content putting the QUALITY of content FIRST. I use WordPress and the only "optimization" I use is WordPress SEO by Yoast I make sure to update the site on a regular basis I make sure there is an up to date sitemap, and privacy policy. I know these are all extremely basic, but like I said, they work for me. I think, probably the biggest reason what I do works, is because I stress QUALITY of content. I'll gladly pay $50 or $60 for an article that is 100% unique and of magazine quality. Quality content pays for itself over time because it gets people TO and BACK TO your site. Over and over again.
Hello JKulp42757, thnx for your input. It really seems to be rather basic, however I agree that Quality content is the main point. I was impressed some time ago by information referring to the principles that add value to the content - latent semantic indexing. What do you think about it? Do you ask content writers to optimize text to contain certain amount of theme and relevant words ? Does this strategy seem to work for you? If yes - which tools do you use and consider to be effective? Thanks, Ahtamar
