What Websites Need

What Websites Need Is That Missing ThingWhat All Websites Need Is That One Thing – Content

So you have a website in place, you have paid an agency to put together a nice looking website for you and are live on the internet.

You have told your friends about the site, you have tweeted it and set a link onto Facebook.  But other than that, nothing much is happening.

What else does the site need?

Website Content

Website content is the heart of a site, search engines love content, fresh new and unique information that is relevant to your particular topics and market place.  Sites that rank well are sites that are regularly updated.
Consider companies such as Wikipedia & BBC; they are regularly updated (daily) with new content that is topical, and they both rank well.
A website that is static or rarely updated will not be of much interest to search engines and may well loose its position on SERPS (search engine page ranks).

Why Do Blogs Rank Well?

This is the reason that blogs and forums (such as answers.com) rank well on internet searches.  It is because they have fresh regular content.  They are updated daily by the webmasters, and have activity from people adding content and comments.  
So the same can be applied to the site.  As long as you are adding quality unique content to your website you should rise up the ranks on the search engines.
We have put together some blogging tips that may be helpful.

  • Press Releases – News and information about changes, awards or achievements you have secured.
