The content of every page on the Internet is made up of text that has been written, re-written or spun from a source. That source can vary from site to site, even when the sites are about the same subject. When you are looking for information online, the search engines go through a process that looks through all of these websites and returns results based on the content of each site.
The importance of content, thus, is paramount when it comes to search engine optimization (SEO). Having the proper content ensures that as the search spiders crawl over the Internet from top to bottom, it will return your page among the highest rankings because the content is most relevant to the search.
Content can help in proper SEO when it is written properly. This means that the subject matter should be appropriate. Other basics include:
• Grammar – When a thought or message is conveyed incorrectly or contextually wrong, the content is not only missed by the search engines but the message that was intended is lost.
• Heading tags – An average of 4 headings per page should be included with content. The first heading should contain the keyword inside it and be followed by text that is supportive of the keyword. Too many headings create a page which is not user friendly and results in decreased SEO value.
• Description Meta tags – This is considered a summary of the heading. This summary should have the keywords properly separated so that it is not labeled as spam. It can be as simple as including the word “and” in your description meta tag.
• Image alt tags – SEO rich pages have these included in their content. Not all pages have an applicable image, but when there is an image, the alt tag, which is often the same as the title tag, provides an added content rich measure for the search engines to grab onto and promote your site to a higher ranking in the results.
These simple guidelines are not all inclusive but serve as a good foundation to ensure that your content is well defined and developed for proper SEO.
