Authority Sites and Necessary Content - Where to Find Fresh Content Ideas
(Page 2 of 4 )
Your site needs freshly updated content to provide food for the hungry Internet search engine spiders. As these constantly traveling computer robots find your site, they are hunting for new material to chew upon. That means new content.
The question then arises for the webmaster, about where to find ideas for additional content pages, to feed those ravenous search engine spiders.
If you are having problems finding suitable ideas, to add fresh content to your site, you are certainly not alone. The problem of content creation has baffled many a website owner.
A good way to start searching for fresh content ideas is to examine your own site very carefully. Look over every page and its most important keyword subject matter. You may see where some sub-pages can be created by expanding upon the information you already have printed.
For example, if you have a travel site, you can provide articles on individual destination cities and countries. Each of those topics can be further subdivided into more pages of tourist attractions and accommodation in each location. As your pages of information multiply, so do your number of important keyword phrases. There are simply more ways that searchers can find and enter your specific website.
Your competitors' websites are also bountiful sources of additional content ideas. They may have entire sections of their websites devoted to topics, in your area of business, that you have not even considered. Because of that oversight, your competitors are gaining valuable new search engine traffic, in keywords that your site does not include.
As you add new pages of content from expanding upon subject matter from your own site, and from competitors' sites, your number of pages will increase. It is generally thought, by many search engine optimization professionals, that sites with a larger number of pages will generally rank higher in the search engine results.
While that is not a hard and fast rule, and many exceptions may be found, it is still a good idea to have more pages on your website. If nothing else, each new page provides additional new keyword phrase entry points. That means more visitor traffic for you and your business.
