Content Creation

Special Text

Submitted by Ben Finklea on August 23, 2007 - 5:17am.
  • Content Creation

"Special text" is any content on your page that is set to stand out from the rest. This includes bold, underlined, colored, highlighted, sizing and italic. This text is given weight higher than standard content when it comes to search engines. So, when creating content, use this technique to not only attract the reader's eye to key points, but also to let search engines know that this page contains information about the keywords.

Heading Tags

Submitted by Ben Finklea on August 18, 2007 - 8:44am.
  • Content Creation

When creating content, writers use H1, H2, etc. to design headings for each page. When writing your headings, it is important to be concise in the wording. If you have a 2 keyword phrase and the heading is 10 words long, your keyword phrase only makes up about 20% of the total verbiage. If you have a 4-word heading on the other hand you would then have a 50% density and increased priority given to the keyword phrase you are targeting.

Knowing Your Audience: Questions the Competitive Type Asks

Submitted by Ben Finklea on August 9, 2007 - 4:00am.
  • Content Creation

This is the final week of the "Knowing Your Audience" series, and I hope that some of you found this information helpful. As I mentioned at the beginning, the goal is to create 1 or 2 specific customer profiles before designing your web copy. You should then write to those specific people with all of their personality traits in mind. If you write to a general audience, you are really writing to no one and your words will be much less effective.

So, without further ado, here are the questions competitive types want answers to. They want to know the "Whats."
