Website Content Ideas

By

One of the old adages for Internet marketing is "Content is King."  I wrote about how SEO authority uses the number of pages your site has as one aspect of measuring the importance of your site.  Plus, the more pages that you have the more page rank that you have to work with for your on-site SEO efforts.  The key to all of this though is to make sure that you have quality content that is good for your visitors and good enough that other site owners will want to link to it.

Where do you find ideas for this kind of content?  It's not rocket science and it isn't going to be a whole lot of work for you to start cranking it out.  Here are some of the resources that I use when I run out of ideas.

Yahoo Answers

Do searchers have a specific question in your niche that they are looking for an answer to?  Write a post giving them what they want!  Not only is this highly relevant, but you have done a service to your visitor which builds trust.

Forums

Do a search in google for "(your keywords) forum" and see what kind of posts are being created.  What's even better about forums is that you can post a short answer on their site and link back to a detailed explanation on yours.  This not only gets you visitors and site content, but also a link back to your site.

Blogs

Do a blogsearch on Google using your keywords.  Take a look at other top blogs, what blogs they link to in their blogrolls and start seeing what others in your niche are covering.  Maybe you have a different take on the subject or maybe you have something more to add.  Either way, put these blogs into an RSS Reader so you can keep tabs on your competition and what they are up to.

Article Directories

There are a lot, but the top ones to look at are Ezine Articles, Go Articles, Hub Pages, and Squidoo.  Same kind of deal as with other blogs where you want to make sure you are adding to the conversation and not just regurgitating what's already been said.

News

Post current events relating to your topics.  This makes a lot more sense for certain types of sites over others, but is a fast and easy way to generate a lot of pages quickly.
