Writing Contents For Users

There has been excessive concern regarding search engines and how they index and rank contents. In earlier times this worked since the algorithms were is early stage of evolution but with constant addition and changes this is not the case anymore.   

In the contemporary times it has become mandatory to add meaningful content relevant to the topic or product in case of e-commerce sites. It is not necessary to add content just for the sake of it. But yes meaningful content is desirable that which is readable and useful. The placement of content is of importance as well. Too much content above the fold will hide or reduce visual element this is not good for user attraction. It is better to add a paragraph followed by an image or a video. 

In case of product description the read more element is very useful. Since adding too many lines will hide the product image away and detract visitor, it is better to add just two lines followed by read more for those interested in reading the description further. The format in case of product/item description may include reviews, ratings, specification, about and more. More angles to image are usually added so fit in that aspect as well. Creating product pages is a challenging job, hastily done it will detract the user in one go. In case of many similar products it is tempting repeat description which is a dead giveaway. Hire a content writer and unique descriptions.                

Remember when it comes to online success usability wins hands down. Better user experience is the right formula for success as for search engine they have become more sophisticated and can decipher your naturally written content to index and rank properly.

About Website Contents: How to Write?

I have noticed number of times weak contents of websites doing fairly well on the Internet. Well this will not work for long. The website contents should be well researched in order to present unique information. In case of cheaply built  websites the designers simply grab contents from other sites and publish. This is disastrous for those seeking online presence and good traffic.

The contents should be well written and easy to understand. This means structured sentences in logical order, and no grammatical and spelling mistakes. Avoid any short of duplicate sentences and information. This means do not repeat information again and again once is enough. 

In order to write website contents on needs to start from the white board stage. Once the topic is finalized draw the concept. What is it all about? How should it be presented? 

The next step is content creation where in you write down the topic of all the pages that have to be created. Please make sure that no extra content which is weakly related/unrelated to the topic should be included. Hence in a website about Jabalpur city do not add information pages about Bhopal. Indore etc. This will hardly benefit until unless the information is desired. The search engines may see this as spam.      

Once the content creation is complete and approved by the owner you can begin to write. Using choice vocabulary for LSI optimization write down the contents in short paragraph - without being verbose. The word limit in case of most of the websites is about five hundred per page.  

Visitors read selectively hence give a appropriate headings using tags (h2, h3 etc). This will attract visitors since they can then limit themselves to just what they wish to read.    

In case of e-commerce websites internal duplicate content is a serious issue though tolerated by search engines they do weaken your website ranking. Hence take time and write product description in unique manner, well as much as you can since the sites may have many variants of very similar products.      

Infuse search terms naturally but limit to under two percent along with many related search terms. In case of large portals pages having similar contents on should use the meta tag noindex = <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">. Use rel=canonical in order to direct to preferred pages.    <link rel="canonical" href="http://example.com/xyz">

Whence the contents are complete please add relevant title to all the pages and meta description to important pages along with keywords. 

Link the pages internally only if the panels do not contain site links already. Top panel links are most valued hence link important pages there. In the footer one can add functional pages like, contact, booking, etc. 

Publishing pages on Hubpages, top blogs and article sites will help you in website content writing for your clients. There are many publishing sites with editorial scrutiny which can help you to learn to write well.

How to Blog?

Blog is one of the most useful tool that has come in recent times. The weblog as the blog is called is a short of personal diary and is an account of one's experience. The blog do contain information articles and news items as well.

The blogsite is an interactive platform and is easy to use. For example you have to first create and account with the service provider. One such service provider is blogspot for which you need gmail to create and account. 
You can either type the url or search in google using keyword "blogspot".

The Url is http://www.blogger.com

Another way is to click on the right side of the Google search result page. There is sign in written on the top right click on sign in. Once you sign you can add blogger services to your account. Going through the URL is best for first timer. 

Once you are at the blogger interface look for options. Select the New Post option or Write a Post option to enter the platform. Here you can type in whatever you wish to write and from the options on the top you can add photographs and use the editor to format your text. You can also add a link to the sites which are relevant to your content and add information to it. You add too many links your blog will become a  spam blog hence be very careful. Write for the users.  Once your entry is complete you can click on the publish button to publish your entry. 

Other options: While you are writing an entry you can frequently use the save button to save your work. Your entry will be saved a draft. Once it is complete you can publish it. 

There is an option for adding keywords on the right side of the writing surface. You can add keywords that describe your contents. Similarly you can location search to add the position on which your write is based. These will help the search engines place your blog better on SERPs.

Preserve the user name and password that you have created to open and account with the blogger.
