Website ContentThe most important feature of your website is the content. Content is what sets your site apart from the others and makes it unique. Give more thought to the content of your site than any other aspect and you will reap the rewards with repeat visitors coming back for more.
Keep the content up to date, for nothing is more certain to make the visitor click away than out of date material. The search engines now place great importance on a site's content, especially if it contains keywords and text which enhances the subject matter being covered. If you intend using Google Adsense on your site at some time, your attention to the detail of your content will pay dividends because Adsense is context driven and will serve advertisements closely related to the subject being discussed. Don't forget the alternative text attribute for your images can also enhance the content of your webpage. Search engines do place some importance on images being relevant to the accompanying text and Google even has an image search facility. Keep image sizes fairly small in the interests of fast page loading. You can always hyperlink to larger image versions on separate pages. Hyperlinks to other sites are also very important, both as a service to visitors and a search engine optimisation technique. The hyperlinks should be relevant and of course current to be effective. Don't be afraid of linking to a competitor as this makes your site more trusted and believable. If you link to another site make sure you negotiate a return link. Most site operators realise the value of doing this. The word content of your site is of the utmost importance.
