Content Is King

In the world of Internet marketing, the saying is Content is King. The idea is that anything else you do to attract visitors or sell more products only counts if you have compelling, original content.

From an SEO perspective, content is certainly king. Your site will only show up in the result pages if your content matches the queries entered by search engine users. The more original content you have, the more people will find you via search queries.

It’s not just about search engine traffic, though. Real people will read the words you write. Bland, poorly written content may trick search engines in delivering traffic your way, but it won’t satisfy intelligent beings once they’re on your site. And they won’t come back.
