Content is King. You may love that phrase or hate it, but chances are you've heard it before. When it comes to SEO, here's what it means:
1. Search engines try to deliver the most relevant, on-topic, and helpful results to their users.
2. If you want to get at the top of those results, you have to make your site relevant, on-topic, and useful.
3. Good content makes that happen.
Many customers are searching for a word or phrase because they want to buy. But before people buy, they research their purchases online. People use the Internet as a vast Encyclopedia Britannica, an enormous Consumer Report, and a comprehensive how-to for, well--everything.
Sure, you can set up a website that only looks to sell. But you're missing out on thousands, possibly millions, of information seekers who can become future customers.
To rank high in the search results, your site has to do more than just sell a product. It has to become a resource. Here's what you get if you can make your site useful and informative to visitors:
1. Return traffic. People will come back to your site whenever they need to know more about your subject.
2. An expert reputation. Offer people good information, and they'll start to see you as an expert in your field. That can bring nothing but good to your business.
3. Money. The more people trust you (see #2), the more they're likely to buy from you.
