Content Development
Build Your Content to Gain in Search Rankings
Providing relevant, valuable content attracts visitors to your site and establishes you as an expert in your industry. But it also is an important factor Google uses to establish the "value" of a site and how to rank it in the search results. Google confirmed that the "Panda Update" from last year is now part of the core algorithm ranking signals. While Google does not divulge details, what we do know is that Panda was originally created to weed out poor content sites. This year in March, Andrey Lipattsev, a Search Quality Senior Strategist at Google, said that links, content and Rank Brain, were the top three factors to help you rank better on Google. Google rarely explains details of its ranking algorithm and there are many other factors, but acknowledging that these are the top three confirms that Google wants to reward websites that provide a good user experience. Content is king. Rich, robust information, helpful insights and great images all provide strong content for your site. We do not create content just for the sake of filling up space. We first ask, what will truly benefit your target viewer? And then we set up to provide informative, entertaining and helpful content. |

But many web designers and developers forget this in their zeal to create the prettiest page or coolest new interactive functions. Customers are not interested in whether your design has a 4-pixel or a 5-pixel bevel. They don't care that you've built it in Joomla. They just want the functions to work and be able to find what they want easily. |

Short Tail and Long Tail Keywords
