Loading ...Many site owners struggle with the decision of whether to post their content around the net. It’s a difficult decision. It can be hard enough finding enough content for your own pages as part of your SEO plan, without having to think up other content for other people’s sites. If you do decide to post content around the net, it’s important to know how to make it a real draw on traffic.
It’s a reasonable question to ask ‘Why bother posting content around the net?’ After all, supplying other sites with good content goes a little against business instincts. Even when you do post content elsewhere, simply posting it would seem to be enough. Why worry about how attractive it is?
There are obvious answers to make your content as attractive as possible, whether it’s on or off the page. Anything associated with your business has the potential to affect your online reputation. It also has the potential to stick around. If you send off a badly-written article to an article hosting site, it could come back to haunt you for years to follow.
Aside from the reputation factor, sending out good-quality content is a way to increase its effectiveness. Take video content for example. It’s easy enough to post a video on YouTube, but unless it is of good quality and is optimised for the site, it will sit in YouTube’s archives and achieve nothing. For your content to really shine, you need to make it work.
Getting viewed off-page
Getting a reasonable number of off-page views is partly about good-quality content and partly about search engine optimisation. The SEO tactics you include in your off-page content can be as helpful to its success on its own as it is to the success for your overall SEO plan.
The quality factor is something that all site owners should be used to looking for in their content. Well-written content that is on an interesting topic is the basic requirement for content that will attract traffic. You can talk to us at SEO Consult Australia about attractive content. Most of the time your content will be in areas of high competition, so when it comes to content that you’re sending off your pages, it has to have something a little extra. Here are some tips:
- Grab them in the first moment – regardless of what type of content it is, it must grab attention immediately. Focus your attention on the first moments.
- Encourage comments and user ratings – a simple ‘please rate’ in your description usually brings big rewards.
- Cross-promote on other sites – if you have a video on YouTube, promote it on Twitter. If you have a Facebook page, promote your Twitter account.
- Bring it back home – it’s important not to forget that you can promote your content through your site as well. If you really want off-page content to receive an audience, give it a little boost from within your pages.
- SEO – optimise your content according to your own site’s plan for double effect.
