Strong content still king
That old SEO phrase “content is King” is still alive and kicking. But today, it seems it has to be the right kind of content - the sort that people want to link to.
Social media sites such as Digg and Delicious are the new places to be seen and read. And a listing can send serious volumes of traffic to your site.
Delicious is a social bookmarking tool where users store and manage favourite pages from the Web and then share them.
Digg allows users to find and share content from anywhere on the Web
Take a look at these sites for ideas on how to develop hot content. Short, snappy, interesting content attracts users.
Top 10 or Top 20 lists are incredibly popular. Can you create one that’s relevant to your business or industry? Or perhaps some tricks of the trade or ways of doing something better, faster, easier?
Example:
10 top tips to better Google rankings
Top 20 ideas to beat the credit crunch
Top 10 ways to plan for retirement
Think about developing “insider” guides, even dos and donts and FAQs. But remember, they’ve got to be interesting and something that lots of people want to read!
Website forums are another useful source of ideas and inbound links and help spread the word about you, your content and your website.
