Top 5 Tips for good Website Content

Last week, we covered the much-feared Google Panda Algorithm and tried to shed a little light on it for any of you who may be concerned that your website could be at risk.

As we explained, the Google Panda Algorithm has existed since February 2011. When it was introduced it resulted in lots of “low-quality” websites dropping right down from high Google page rankings; in some cases, being excluded altogether.

Panda will be putting high quality, relevant content at the top of their search results and banishing poor content.

Here are our Top 5 Tips for Good Website Content to help make sure that it doesn’t happen to your website:

·         The article needs to be well-written i.e. grammar, punctuation and spelling

·         Relevancy of the article i.e. if the content has anything to do with the title

·         Content that makes sense to the reader

·         Advertising that detracts away from the article

·         Affiliate links that have little or nothing to do with the article

Does your Website have good Content?

If you do not update your website, or do not have a blog or news page, it is well worth considering introducing one now. If you do post regularly, it is wise to take steps to make sure that quality is good and that your website doesn’t become a casualty of the Google Panda Update.

Are you too Busy to Manage Your Website Content?

As a small business owner, you may find it difficult to take the time to update your website or blogroom – this is often the case so if you do, you are not alone!

What is the Google Panda Algorithm and could it Affect Your Website Ranking?

If you have any interest in website rankings over and above traditional pay per click advertising, you will probably know about – or will heard of – much-feared Google Algorithms. Yes, one minute your website could be right at the top of page one without advertising and the next, it could vanish off the face of the earth.

But why is this and how can you prevent it? Can you foresee when Google will change their Algorithm and stop it from happening?

In a word: no. Google decide when it wants to change its algos and also decides what it is looking for. Here is what you need to know about the Google Panda algorithm that has recently been updated – make sure that your website doesn’t get caught out this time around!

What is Google Panda?

A few months ago, Google told us that it would be updating the Penguin algorithm to go real-time? It is likely that this is happening now, but website publishers should also be worried about Google Panda, which is different algorithm that forms part of the search engine's mission to update itself on a constant basis.

Panda has actually been around since February 2011 – when it was introduced it did indeed cause a lot of “low-quality” websites that relied on spam-type “keyword-stuffing” to drop right down from, in many cases, high Google page rankings.

Panda’s aim is to ensure that high quality and relevant content is at the forefront of Google searches – poor content will be punished by being pushed down the rankings, or even in some cases, excluded completely.

The main reason for this is the Google is aware of the increased competition in the search engine market. For example, Bing is taking up a bigger share of the market year-on-year, so Google has to be known for reliable results when people are browsing.

We will be bringing you more information on this topic in next week’s blog, with our Top 5 tips for good Website Content guide.
