A Love Story Between Content and SEO | GreatestFart

Content and SEO
Nathan Williams, senior copywriter at SEO Advocate, once said, “SEO provides actions, targets, and priorities, and copywriters use that information to tailor the content. The two sides must work together, or both fail.”
High-quality content makes a big difference. That is because sites that Google considers to be more important are more likely to link to a site with great content versus a site that’s filled with spam-related strategies.

Misconceptions and Devious SEO Tactics

These strategies include filling pages with gibberish, buying links, and keyword stuffing, just to name a few. Google uses algorithms like the recently released Penguin 2.0 to find sites that take advantage of these devious tactics and rank them lower in the search engine listings.

Another misconception is that websites need a lot of backlinks. Yes, it is true that your site should have backlinks. However, Matt Cutts, who heads Google’s anti-spam team, warns not to get obsessed with backlinks.

The Importance of Being Relevant and Reputable

Although you can spend an eternity studying about SEO, the key is to fall somewhere between being relevant and being reputable. Being relevant means what you mention has to pertain to your blog.

For example, if you have a high-ranking blog is about the healing powers of honey and you mention in passing that you love to tend the hives while wearing Italian leather boots, then even though your blog ranks high on Google, the mention of Italian leather boots is not very relevant.

While being relevant applies to what you say on your page, being reputable, on the other hand, is what people are saying about you when they link to you. The key is to maintain as even as possible of a balance between the two.

And when you stay relevant on your page, people will see your page as a reputable source of information. When people see you as a reputable source of information, then they feel confident about linking back to your website.

Have Unique, Interesting Content

Nobody wants to read boring content. So regardless if you are writing about how much you love cats or the importance of SEO when ranking with Google, make sure you love the topic before you sit down to blog about it. If you aren’t talking about something you care about, it will show.

Write often! Athletes don’t set out for a marathon without a lot of stretching and practicing. When you blog, write every day because that is your way of stretching your skills and practicing the art of blogging.

Strategies to Naturally Build Better Links

The end result should be that you get better at writing for your blog’s audience, which will lead to a bigger audience and a higher ranking in Google search listings. Here are some other strategies that can help.

Promote RSS Feed – Every blog ought to have an RSS feed. RSS is most commonly referred to as “Really Simple Syndication” and it is a way to get published online. When you publish to a free RSS feed directory, you earn links in return.
Guest Blog – You can even swap guest blog honors with another blogger in your same niche. It is one of the easiest ways to naturally build links to your blog and it allows you to show off your expertise to a whole new audience that may begin following your blog too as a result.
Comment Everywhere – When you comment on reputable sites, be sure to link back to your blog in your signature. Whether you praise, critique, or offer a suggestion, the link in your signature helps build your traffic. However try linking back to a content page rather than a sales page, which can be a real turn off to new viewers who do not know your blog yet.
Infographics – I love infographics. It’s like a blog article and a comic strip combined, using graphic design strategies to provide visual interest that enhances the text. If you don’t have the power to make your own infographics, consider outsourcing the job to someone on a site like Elance.

Benefits of SEO Analysis

Do you know how your site ranks up to others in your niche, aside from typing a keyword in Google and seeing where you rank? Consider investing in the services of a company to perform some type of website analysis of your site.

This will not only give you valuable feedback about web traffic, but it will also allow you to see where your strengths and weaknesses lie. When you apply the information in the results and tweak your website accordingly to gain more traffic, the return on this investment has unlimited potential.

How to Resource Great Blogging Content | GreatestFart
Resource Great Blogging Content

 When you first start out with blogging your head is probably swimming with ideas that you can convert into great blog posts.

After a period of time though you feel like you are getting stale, and your posts just don’t have that same zest to them anymore. You are finding it increasingly difficult to find good content that you can put a unique spin on.

The difference between stealing and enhancing

Every blogger looks for information on the web that they can use. Sometimes this creates a guilty conscience. It makes you feel that you are stealing somebody’s hard work. This can be true if you are not taking that initial idea of someone else’s and expanding upon it with your own knowledge or opinions. Ideas are meant to be broadened.

A good example is a regular family physician makes a diagnosis that may lead sending that patient to a specialist. Now that specialist uses the same information that the family doctor provided but expands upon it.

Sourcing out your information

There are tons of different ways that you can source out the information that you want to write about. Many just check out what their competitors are posting and then expand upon this. That’s fine if you can add substance to it, and make it unique by adding your own take on the subject.

Otherwise, visitors who are interested in the topic soon become bored with the same old information that is just written in a different way.

A good comparison is like baking a chocolate cake and then using the exact same recipe and serving it as a cupcake. Both are different versions of the same thing.

What you may want to do is subscribe to a newsfeed that pertains to your niche and then gathers a gambit of information that you can compile with a different view into one informative post.

 Think outside the box
Think outside the box
 There is always the most current agenda for writing good blog posts. For awhile you may see that the trend is to write short posts, then it switches over to developing lists, then it goes to long posts.

While these are all good markers to follow and knowing what the search engines are going to favor is critically important, the top priority is what your readers are going to like.

If your post just doesn’t have enough content to write 700 words which may be the current trend, then don’t do it. What ends up happening is you just start stuffing the post with fluff so you can reach the word count. Your visitors don’t care if there are 500 words or 1,000 words. What they care about is that each word has some value for them.

Always fill the need

Anyone that is reading your post has a need. Your objective is to fill that need with the content in your post. For example, the need here is for bloggers who feel like they have become stale and want fresh ideas to help them gather information.

My goal is to get you to think about how you can expand on what you already know about gathering information for your content. You already know where most of the information is for your particular niche, you just needed a reminder on how to use it effectively.
