How often do we see a site which has little or no relevant content? Everyone must have heard “Content is the King” phrase. Yes, it's an oft repeated and very clichéd but the fact is that it is important for a very good reason. A site with useful, relevant and compelling content is more likely to influence your websites rankings in search Engines than any other factor. Users will flock to a site again and again, which has a good content. They will recommend others to do so by putting up backlinks, by bookmarking, by social media sites, forums or simply word of mouth. Come to think of it like a great movie. Yes, good marketing and publicity helps but what makes viewers come back again and again to theatres to watch the movie again is its content. This human behavior is replicated everywhere.

If a website is offering great information or some kind of service, then users would like to take advantage of it, become its member. Perhaps a blogger may post its reference on his/her next post and so on.

So what are things we have to keep in mind while writing content for a website?

1) Easy to read and follow: The website should have lucid and easy to read content which makes it available to a larger demography. Spelling and grammatical mistakes may tarnish the reputation, so avoid them. Many sites have text embedded in images; this can make it unreadable to search engines.

2) Focused, Organized: The content should be focused on a particular topic. Different sections should be organized such that users can easily access the content. Web pages with large content may be broken down in to pages with clear navigation. Titles, Headings, Bold, italics, tables, paragraphs and bullets should be used to make content understandable.

3) Use relevant language and phrases: Different users usually search for different phrases. An insider in any particular industry may use technical terms which may be Latin to an end user. Use words that match your audience. Still better, make content with an aim to help every section of demography.

4) Fresh & Unique: This is very vital. Make sure that your site is regularly updated with unique content. The content should not be plagiarized from other sources. It's unethical and is frowned upon by internet community. Good reputation cannot be built upon poor quality website.

5) Useful content & services: A website that provides useful content like Wikipedia or services like Yahoo's mail is more likely to be successful. Your website can also provide some useful content or services (though understandably on a smaller scale than Wikipedia or yahoo) and can get popular quickly then it's competitors.

6) Aim at users: Many webmasters design/develop a site and its content with sole aim at attracting search engines. They stuff keywords within the content which makes it quite unintelligible to a human reader. Many insert hidden text only for search engines. These actions may backfire. Your site should target the human reader first and at the same time make it accessible to search engines also.
