Search Engine Optimization Basics – Lesson 8
In the last post we talked about the difference between black and white hat search engine optimization. In this post we are going to talk about good content strategies that you can use in your SEO campaign.
The entire search engine optimization process is often misunderstood by a lot of people, which is why they often commit a lot of SEO mistakes as we have discussed before.
These mistakes can cost them not only their page ranking in search engines, but also their traffic volume of possible customers. As you know SEO can help you direct traffic to your site, but getting them to stay is a whole new different ball game.
The entire SEO process basically revolves around the idea of getting a good page ranking in search engines by employing certain strategies so that people can find your site easier. The better your page ranking is, the easier it is for visitors to find it, the more appealing it is for them to visit your site, thereby increasing the amount of traffic that your site is able to generate. However, if the visitors do not find any relevant content in your site, then your efforts to get them to your site would just have been in vain.

If you want to ensure that you can get visitors to stay on your site, you must learn some basic content strategies.
As I mentioned earlier, getting people to your site is one thing, but to getting them to stay is another.
When visitors are looking for a specific content, they will perform keyword searches on search engines. Once they are directed to your site using those keywords, they expect to find relevant content pertaining to that keyword, so make sure that you have content or you will lose them as fast as they found you.
Avoid using keywords that have no relevance to your content. Using them anyway simply to gain more traffic to your site only based of the popularity of the keyword will only result in visitors clicking back to their search engines, and won’t necessarily have any positive effect on your page ranking.
The more content or articles you create about a particular topic or keyword, the more chances you have of getting tagged and linked by other sites, as well as increase your chances of answering a visitor’s search for relevant content. Just like fishing, the more bait you have, the better your chances are of catching a fish.
You also want to create articles and post them on other sites so that you can generate a lot of back links which can lead even more people back to your site.
Creating and posting new content regularly can greatly improve your site’s chances of getting recommendations from other sites, especially those that are linked to your site. The more times you offer new and fresh content, the more opportunities your visitors searching for a particular content will have on finding one that is relevant to their search.
Building links is also another content strategy that you can employ to help visitors searching for a particular content to find your site offering relevant content to their search. Try to link to other sites that have similar content, or at least uses the same keywords in tagging their site’s content.
This way, any visitor searching on those sites will be directed to your site’s similar content, making it easier for them to find you.
