How to Create Quality Content To Rank High In Search Engines

By on October 16, 2011

We all know that we need to create quality content to rank hing in the search engines. Until recently the rules of Internet marketing stated that if you wanted to rank well in the search engines all you had to do was spend some time on keyword research, position those keywords strategically throughout your article and BAM! You were ranking. Now, the rules are a little different. If you want to rank high in the dominate the search engines now, you have to back those keywords up with some quality content.

But hasn’t quality content always been the number one requirement if you wanted to rank well? Not necessarily. In the past you could churn out content all day long with article spinning software and it didn’t matter if it was good content or not. As long as you were able to get it published somewhere online then you got a backlink or two out of it and that’s all that mattered. Like I said, though, the rules have changed.

Quality Content Rules

As more and more people come to the Internet in search of information, the search engines are focusing on making sure those users find what they’re looking for. They’re looking at things like how long the reader actually stays on your page, how many pages they view while they’re on your site, and how often those users share your content with their friends. Today, if you want to rank well in search engines, you need to create quality content, which means you need to engage your readers.

Keyword Research

Keywords still play an important role in ranking. You need to use keywords so the search engine bots can identify your content. But the idea that you need to mention your exact keyword every 100 words or so is out the window. Use longtail keywords and LSI to make you blog posts and articles sound less like they were written by a robot and more like they were written by someone you’d like to get to know.quality content Knowing all these details will help you combat the new Google panda update because your blog will rock!

Pillar Posts and Internal Linking

Create a high quality pillar post for each of your categories, something that lets your readers know you are the authority on that specific topic. Then, each time you write a new post, use anchor text to link it to the relevant pillar post. Use plug-ins to create links to related posts. Give your readers a reason to stay on your blog longer and read more of your content therefore reducing bounce rate.

Easy Navigation for your Quality Content

Using keywords when you set up your categories helps you in two ways: It’s another way for the search engines to identify your content. But it also makes it easier for visitors to find their way around your site. And if it’s easier, that means they’ll stick around longer. See a previous article about creating categories for your blog by using your related keywords.

Creating an easy navigation system on your blog is one of those important SEO techniques that is often neglected.

Alternative Media

Give you readers something different to look at occasionally. Use charts and graphics to illustrate a point. Create videos to highlight that How-To article. The key here is to use your own, original creations instead of just pulling random YouTube videos or copying an image you find on Google Images. Create original content and your videos and graphics and comics will be the ones that everyone else is using on their blogs. Always make sure you have your link included on your content so when it does get copied everyone will know where it came from.

Social Media

No one can deny the importance of the social networks. Whether you like it or not, sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Digg are here to stay and that Google +1 Button will soon be one of the most important features on your site. Remembering that, and incorporating it into your business plan will help you rank better. Every site should have the standard Sharing buttons and Follow Me links, but go a step further – Create content that people will want to share. Every time you write a new blog post or create a new video, ask yourself “Is this content good enough to engage my readers? Will they want to share it with all their friends?” If the answer is no, then add some more polish until it shines.Keyword Winner

Define your USP

The new definition of quality content is content that engages the reader. Period. If your reader can find your exact same information on dozens of other blogs, then you need to find a way to set yourself apart from the crowd. What is your USP – your Unique Selling Point? Why should searches come to your site? What makes your blog so different from all the others? Why should they stay there and keep coming back? And most important, why should they share your information with their friends?

The new rule is – If you want to create quality content to rank high in search engines, then you need to stop worrying about search engines and create quality content that engages your audience.

    “Rick Thomas has been named Chief Marketing Officer for Santa Ana, California based SaviCorp, maker of the DynoValve®. Mr. Thomas will launch a marketing effort designed to garner increased media exposure for DynoValve with consumers and fleet business owners.” From marketwatch.com

    The content article proceeds to point out that SaviCorp is certainly positive that Rick’s considerable background in growing media as well as special deals can grow their prevailing affiliate marketing efforts and also speed up DynoValve profits. Marketing campaigns certainly is the energy which makes this business surge.

    I firmly believe that in order to write a good post or article you should really have some knowledge and experience of what you’re writing about.

    There’s too much nonsense on the internet now with scraped and badly spun posts and articles popping up all the time and I don’t think it will ever stop.

    The only way to write a good piece is to do it yourself!

Though it take the time to provide the quality content but it also helps to give desired results at quick time. it really comforts the search engine to make them up in the search results.

They fail to ranking, even come with premium article. Second, about internal linking, it can be a strong power in SEO cause our content is linkable and relevant each other. Great article Sté, love it!

    Hey Ste,

    Yes, the rules have certainly changed but I think it’s for the better. The best advice you gave here to me is to engage your readers, and the best way to do that is give them what they they’re looking for. Like you said, search engines also look at how long people stay on your site and a good way to keep people on your site is internal linking.

    Personally, I use a plugin known as SmartLinks which takes care of all my internal linking. As long as you focus on providing value to your readers first the search engines will love you and reward you.

    Lately its been leaning a lot towards quality content AND relevant content. Being high quality by itself isn’t quite enough these days as the search engine track bounce rate and the only way to get a high bounce rate is if your article ranks for keywords that its very relevant for. An informational query should return what the users search intent is.

      I’m not absolutely sure abut the search engines using the bounce rate to rank the pages. Take this example: a website giving quick fixes for PHP code. People are most likely visiting to get a short reply to a simple problem, so they will just bounce. But the page can still be ranked high in search engines!

I just wrote about a passion and it was passed on by many others. Actually, @tweetsmarter tweeted my content and then others saw and retweeted.

    I’ve tried to write content on purpose that is good enough to retweet, but I’ve failed a lot lately to get anyone to ready anything of mine. I think that shows that passion is the key. Now that I think of it, that may be my next blog post. Hey, thanks for the inspiration!

        Yes, very true. Keyword research is definitely critical. I have learnt a lot of things over the course of my doing this. At first, I jumped in with a short tail keyword in a competitive niche and I was struggling very badly. Then I decided to lower my expectations and try to make it work in a less competitive niche and long tail keywords. That let me find initial success quicker and helped me get started on the right way to tackling more competitive niches.

        Thanks Mitz, IM is certainly a dynamic business, ever changing with new things to learn and the reason why I love it so much is because of the challenges which are somewhat lacking at work! I guess I am still in the finding out what works for me stage.

        Spinning content can be pretty tricky. When done right, it can bring you a lot of good links and exposure, but if done wrong, this could mean the end of your SEO efforts.

    Navigation is a problem that every blogger and web pages owner have; I glad to see you mention that because I use to have problems setting up my navigation, but it is getting better.

    The pillar post is a key concept that we have adopted on a number of blogs. You want most of your posts to be just easy, informative or funky (whatever your style is), but you want to have a few posts that pull in the searchers and give good information that new readers can refer back to through the l;inks in your newer posts.

      The huge advantage of writing some major pillar posts is that people will want to share them with their friends and connections. This is the best way to increase your readership by having some content going viral.
