Web Design Counts! Make Your Site Stand Out!

What are Content Rich Sites?
By S. Housley

What are Content Sites?
If you are like many of those who started out with intentions of making millions online and are struggling to capture the attentions of the large search engines, you are in good company. Times have changed, and due to the low cost of entry, the online world is becoming very competitive for businesses starting out. Unless a website has a regional appeal or caters to a very niche product or service, it is rare that a webmaster can create a website that is only focused on selling.

What is the answer?
The answer is content. The concept is not new, it comes down to the simple concept of bartering, give something in order to get something. In this case the trade off, is free information in exchange for website traffic and search engine ranking. The key is to create a website with content that other webmasters, bloggers, and publishers will want to link to. In order to generate interest and incoming links that result in web traffic, you will need to provide unique content. Related content drives traffic, understanding what makes one website a stand-out when others fail is the key to building a content rich portal.

How do I use content to sell my stuff?
First off, the content you provide must be of interest to potential customers. If you are selling a product, why not provide dimensions, customer ratings, reviews, warranty information, additional product suggestions, color or size charts. In addition to additional product information, consider your demographic, and find content that will be of interest to individuals (or businesses ) that you feel typify a potential customer. It is also best if the content your provide is related to the product you are promoting.

Let's take a look at some content rich examples:

Ready to launch your web site? One thing you must have is a hosting account. There are numerous companies who would be delighted to host your site. Often it's nice to start out with a local company that you know, maybe who you've had your email account with for some time, and who has good customer support. That's a good place to start.

The drawback is that generally these companies have to charge a lot more for their hosting services simply because of their overhead. You can purchase your web hosting from one of the many companies on the internet for a lot less money. The drawback to this is that you do not have local support, so choose your provider wisely. Make sure that they have a 24/7 support line that you can call. See what other products and services they offer, since you will undoubtedly want to expand your web site's capabilities. The cheapest is not always the best solution - especially free sites which generally are full of annoying advertisements and even more annoying pop-ups.
