Make Your Web Content Viral

Make Your Web Content Viral

One of the best ways to drive massive traffic to your site in a short period
of time is through the creation of viral content or linkbait. Linkbait is
created with the sole purpose of driving more traffic to your website
through links and bookmarks.

Content that is successful in this regard typically does not have any
indication of being linkbait. You need to make sure that your content is
very useful to readers and that it is not an obvious attempt at creating
linkbait. The moment that a visitor comes to your site, they must be able to
see the value that your content provides for them.

Keep it Simple

If you want to make a particular piece of content viral, keep it simple. The
key is to attract a general audience. Many visitors write off articles that
are overly complex. Keep it easy to swallow and understand to increase your
chances of creating linkbait.

Encourage People to Share and Distribute the Content

If you have a killer piece of content, encourage people to submit it to
social media sites. You can also go ahead and add buttons for social media
sites to make it easier for them to submit it. For images and videos, you
can provide an HTML code that will allow them to embed the item into their
own sites. You can also provide an email form that allows users to email the
content to their friends and family.

Keep with what's New in Pop Culture

Make sure the content is timely and trendy for a greater chance of success
at making it linkbait. Topical content is the most popular and works the
best as linkbait. Try to stick with topics that are new and relevant to
current pop culture so that more people are likely to find your content
interesting and fresh.

Ask for the Visitor's Email

It's a good idea to offer an email opt-in newsletter or some other
subscription service anytime you have viral content. This will help to get
those new visitors to become regular visitors to your site because you can
stay in touch with them long after the hype is gone. By getting new
subscribers, you can make the most of all of the new traffic that is coming
to your website.

Use Images

Images are very effective as linkbait because they cross language barriers
and can be digested by everyone. Some people don't like to read long
articles and are attracted to content simply for its visual appeal.
Some things you can do to make the most out of the traffic you receive with
viral content are to display the products or services you offer on a sidebar
to make all visitors aware of them and to link to another one of your
compelling pieces of content at the end so visitors are directed to yet
another one of your articles, images or videos.

In conclusion, there are a number of factors that will determine how
successful your content can be as linkbait. It's important to try a hand at
every one of these tactics until you figure out a formula that works for you
in the creation of viral linkbait.

my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that can
be done today."

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 ...

How to Write Web Copy

Actionable tips for software developers writing web copy. Scan Web site visitors read websites very differently than they might read a book or a newspaper. Web visitors scan the text, rather than reading each and every word. As a result, the web copy should be designed to be easily scannable. That is not to say the copy should not be well written, but it should be broken into small "chunks" so that the visitor can easily scan it and take away the main idea. White Space Avoid dense copy. Copy should be broken into readable, digestible "chunks" and surrounded by a good amount of white space. Font Type Font size matters. Avoid using micro fonts. Studies have shown that the easiest type faces to read on the Internet are san serif fonts. Popular sans fonts include Helvetica, Avant Garde, and Arial. Popular serif fonts include Times Roman, Courier, and Palatino. Sans-serif fonts have become the de facto standard for "body" text on-screen, because monitors pr...

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. ...
