Web content includes all the material presented for perusal by the
site visitor. It may be paid or for free. It includes graphics,
visuals, animations and of course, text. It may include additional
features like horoscopes, quotes, calendars etc.
Whatever the range and scope of the content, it is essential that it
be of good quality. Good content arrests the visitor’s attention,
keeps him enthralled and prompts him to come back. So it is also
essential that the content be periodically updated. Content is what
makes a visitor loyal to a site. SEO helps to generate the initial
traffic flow to the site, but content sustains the flow of visitors to
the site. Eventually, content will also lead to the publicity of the
site by word of mouth.
What makes attractive and useful content?
First and foremost- the site should have some original content. If
this is not possible in every aspect, the form of expression has to be
original.
Secondly, the language should be chaste; free of any form of error or
redundancy. The wise saying “What is written without thoughtful effort
is read without pleasure” is particularly relevant here, on the World
Wide Web.
Visuals, graphics, animations and color combinations should be of
pleasing appearance. The site should have useful content and tips for
the visitor that he /she can employ at some level. As has been
mentioned elsewhere, free gifts always spell a peculiar charm.
There should also be some form of interaction between the site owner
and the visitor. It could be a guest book for recording the feedback
of the visitors.
Copyright violations of any sort should be avoided by all means. These
will eventually result in the site being blacklisted.
Key words may need to be inserted in the content but they should not
offend human sensitivity, for even though the search engines find the
site, it is the humans who read it.
