Based on the many reader inquiries I’ve received, I’d like to address some of the more important points that can help iron out all the wrinkles when preparing to write website content. As I’ve said before, these are thoughts and opinions based strictly from a writer’s point of view. With that said, I must elaborate that you can have the most beautiful site ever created, but without interesting, exciting content that makes people take notice, your site will never realize the success you’re after. A web site with pretty graphics and the latest technology minus informative, well-written content is useless.
Expanding Content For More Traffic
We have just released a Children’s Learning CD. We are having a hard time getting on search engine positions. Could you also look at our site and see if it needs some changes?
Improve Your Rankings: Original Content May Help
My site at http://www.jodee.biz ranks 3/10 on google, and on alexa it ranks: “Traffic Rank for jodee.biz:337,641.” Other sites that link to this site: 447. What I would like to know is: how can I improve my ratings more for some of my keywords such as “grilling net gurus.” I am on the first page on others it can’t be found any suggestion I do trade links with other sites plus I have now added more content by way of articles and newsletters
Content Quality and Link Popularity
I ranked high in the search engines with Altavista and msn there for a while but I lost my ranking due to my change of real estate practice location. Right now, I am trying to target Dallas Real Estate instead of Plano Real estate, Dallas Homes, instead of Plano homes. Allthough I ranked high with Altavista, I am nowhere to be seen on Google.com, and that’s where I really want to be! Can you tell me how DallasRelo.com, ranks #1 in Google.com for the search term “Dallas Real Estate” when the quality of information provided is horrible in comparison with mine? Also, if his website is recommended more by other websites, is there a better way to get ranked?
Enhancing The Credibility Of Your Web Content
It’s vital to establish the credibility of your web content with your reader as quickly as possible. If your brand is well known and respected, then you start from a strong base. Another way to enhance credibility is to provide author information. Where appropriate, dating your content can help too.

Five Questions to Help You Decide if the Content is Worth the Effort
“Repurposing” is a great term, isn’t it? When it comes to web writing, repurposing sounds much better than rewriting, redoing, reorganizing, or transforming-print-into-readable-web-text. But unlike most buzzwords, repurposing contains the essence of what good web writers do when they adapt a print document to the web: they change the document substantially so it fulfills a purpose on the web. They alter the print original so it communicates to web readers who read in different ways and for different purposes than print readers do.
How to Feed Content-Hungry Site Visitors
Writing good web content is a lot like planning a big dinner party. You’re looking forward to having lots of guests, but you’re not sure about when they’ll arrive or how hungry they’ll be. You know Deborah will only nibble on the salad, Laura will snack on the chicken, and Dan will cheerfully devour everything you serve. As an experienced party planner, you’ll accommodate your guests’ diverse appetites. A good web writer does the same thing – accommodates the appetites of all content-hungry visitors by providing different amounts of content for different users.
Do You Know How Much Your Content Costs?
The creation of content is a significant and increasing cost for many organizations. However, few managers know how much they are spending on content. If you’re not measuring the cost of content, you can’t evaluate the return on investment it creates. If you can’t measure content, you can’t manage it.
