When you are working on your webpage, you should think very carefully about every single word that you write. These words are what the search engine spiders are going to use to determine your page ranking and your page ranking will have a direct influence on the amount of traffic your website receives. So right at the beginning, when your website is little more than a concept, you should be thinking about what you want to write.

The Importance of Your Words

Ask any website content expert what they think the most important aspect of website content is and they will all give you the exact same answer. The words you use will have the greatest affect on your page rank. You will want to use words that best describe you product or service and be the same words or key phrases that the average consumer will use when they are doing an internet search.

Optimized Content

The whole concept behind optimized content is that it is words and/or phrases that the average consumer would use when they are looking for information about a product, in other words how they would describe a product. For example if you were selling tarot cards you would want to fill your website with key phrases such as tarot card spreads, fortune telling, and predicting the future.

Creating Relevant Content

The trick is that you have to use the keywords and/or phrases in such a way that the spiders sent out by the search engines recognize the words as relevant content. That means that you can’t just make lists of keywords and plaster them all over your website and assume that is good enough. In order to get the best possible page rank you are going to have to fill your website with keywords rich articles. These articles should use the keywords phrases to inform the average consumer about the product you are selling or the service you are providing. After you have finished writing the articles you need to make sure that they are clear and get right to the point. The average length of a content rich, keyword article is approximately 500 words.

Don’t Assume that you’re Done

Once you have your website up and running you can’t let down your guard down, not for one minute. Every day more websites are being added to the internet and each new website means that yours could loose is page ranking. You have to constantly update your own site and add more keyword rich content if you want to remain competitive with other internet based businesses.
