What is Bad Internet Website Content.

What is Bad Internet Website Content.

This is generally a subjective assessment, but some or all of the following
elements will be evident within the website:

* Duplicated from your other website/s, and competing in the same web space.

* Copied from a similar site and passed off as yours.

* Homogenized content - finding a series of top-ranking pages from
authoritative sources, and blending them together into a new page for your
site.

* More images than words, or words embedded in images.

* Content generated by JavaScript, Flash or Frames.

* Dominated by vaguely worded, non-explicit, warm and fuzzy drivel from
branding and marketing pitches.

* Word-for-word product descriptions copied verbatim from the manufacturer.

* Lack of precisely targeted content that fails to fill a defined search
need.

* Doorway pages - specifically produced to target a series of keyword
phrases but bereft of intrinsic merit.

* Page and image file names are cryptic, devoid of explanatory keywords.

* Riddled with mis-spelt words, grammatical errors and incorrect
punctuation.

Basically, if you can't present your subject (products or services) in an
intelligent and articulate manner, and accurately define precisely what the
point of the page is, and what it contains, its inevitably going to be seen
as substandard and confusing content.

If you "borrow" extensively from other people's creative content, at best
you are immediately second best. At worst, you are clearly guilty of:

* Copyright violation
* Theft of intellectual property
* Plagiarism

WHY would anyone expect Google to reward them for that???

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

What Are QR codes?

What Are QR codes? They come to us from Japan where they are very common. QR is short for Quick Response (they can be read quickly by a cell phone). They are used to take a piece of information from a transitory media and put it in to your cell phone. You may soon see QR Codes in a magazine advert, on a billboard, a web page or even on someone's t-shirt. Once it is in your cell phone, it may give you details about that business (allowing users to search for nearby locations), or details about the person wearing the t-shirt, show you a URL which you can click to see a trailer for a movie, or it may give you a coupon which you can use in a local outlet. The reason why they are more useful than a standard barcode is that they can store (and digitally present) much more data, including url links, geo coordinates, and text. The other key feature of QR Codes is that instead of requiring a chunky hand-held scanner to scan them, many modern cell phones can sca...
