When people think of SEO, most think of link building, social bookmarking, page titles, meta tags, etc. Many forget that content is one of the most if not the most important aspect of SEO and getting and keeping website traffic. You can get all the traffic in the world, if your content is bad, repetitive, unoriginal or non-existent, no one is going to stay or comeback to your website.
Ideas for content
There are a lot of resources and tools on the web that can help you get some good quality content.
Original Articles
This is by far the best method to get good content. Do some research on different topics and write original articles in your own words. Try to be different than the rest. You don't necessarily need to be a great author to write good articles. If you are absolutely horrible at writing, you can pay a professional to write articles for you. We offer writing services right here at Tech Guy.
PLR Articles
Private label articles can be a great source for content. Although you could post them on your site as is, you might not get goos results as it would most likely be dupe content. Many think that you will get penalized for it but that is a myth. You just wont be at the top of the rankings for that particular article.
The best thing to do is to re-write the articles or have someone else do it for you. There are tons and tons of PLR articles out there. One very good source is marketerzone.com. You can also use PLR articles for newsletters, ebooks and much more.
Tutorials & How To's
Search engines love original tutorials but more importantly, people love them. A well written tutorial about a subject that is hard to find can be priceless. It can be just as beneficial as learning it in a classroom. Tutorials can be written about almost anything.
Product & Service Reviews
Post ratings and reviews on your blog or ecommerce website.
News Feeds
News feeds are one of the easiest ways to have up to date content posted on your website. There are services and products that offer free and paid widgets and content feed modules to place on your website. Some free services are Feedzilla, Spring Widgets and Sphere.
There are many other methods to get good content. The best way to find them is to do a lot of research and also check out other websites in your niche and see what they are doing.
