The Basics of Blogging and Web
Site Creation - Part One: Content
             Is King
My fellow writers at the Absolute Writers Forum (known
 lovingly as the AW Water Cooler or just Cooler) are the
reason for these next series of articles so I wish to thank
                          them.
In the next few series of articles, I will try and deal with
some of the very basic technical jargon and skills that one
    needs when facing this daunting world of web-site
 creation, blogging and getting listed and noticed by the
Search Engines. Some of this I take from things I posted at
AW and others from my own articles on Web Creation and
  still others from my own blog, Cobwebs Of The Mind.
Let us start with the few important factors that are
   required today on the web. There are quadrillions of
articles on this, most very poorly written, but the message
                     is always the same.
On the web today, "content is king". But that is not all
their is to that rule. Let us change it a bit to fit the reality
    of the web, search engines, and the sophisticated
algorithms being deployed by the search engine trinity of:
                   Google, Yahoo & MSN.
"Content is King, but Original Content is the King of Kings."
Okay - that is the first cardinal rule you MUST understand
   about the web today. Now what does this mean?
There are essentially three factors in this equation:
1. You must have content - words, phrases, information -
                   on your web site.
2. You should have "original" content on your web site.
   This is content which either you have created or have
gotten permission to reproduce on your web site. It should
    be "original". Copying content from a web site, and
    putting it in your blog, where that content has been
 reproduced in thousands of other web-sites, is not going
     to help your Google ranking (and you may even be
   penalized for it.) This does NOT mean that everything,
every single phrase and post and article you put up on the
 web has to be original and not repeated elsewhere. What
it does mean though, is that the majority of your web site
             or blog should be just that - YOURS.
3. Your content should constantly grow. You should be
adding to it on a daily or bi-daily basis. Stagnant blogs and
web sites are noticed for being stagnant - dead. They drop
so fast in Search Engine (search engine) rankings you have
 no clue! Web sites demand nurturing and work. They do
 NOT run on auto mode. (Just look at how much time you
                   spend with your blog!)
Now as to why and how.
Search Engines look for content. They have developed very
  sophisticated algorithms to check content. To see if this
content is original, or they are coming across the millionth
      time they have seen the same thing. This is all
   mathematical btw. And this is NOT the only thing they
  look that. (We will get to those other things in our next
     posts). However, Content is critical. Lets give two
                          examples.
1. Ever notice how fast some popular Forums get indexed
    in the Search Engines. This is due to the fact that they
have an incredible amount of page hits, and that they exist
   for POSTS. Posts on forums are ORIGINAL for the most
   part. So engines look for the Content, forums have this,
they list them, they see original content - the forum moves
   up the list, and thus more people find the forum in the
 search, more people hit the forum pages, more "hits" and
     "eyeballs" are registered back on the Search Engine
servers, and the forum keeps on moving up. The more hits
   - by mathematics - the more posts. The more posts the
     more original content. The more original content the
 better the listing. The better the listing - the more people
 find the forum. Getting the picture? A never-ending circle
                          of success.
2. For those of you in doubt as to whether Search Engines
      can "read" content just take a look at Adsense and
  Adwords. When you go to a site with them, adverts are
fed out based upon the: 1: Content of the page you are on,
  and 2) Your IP address to determine which country and
     language you speak. Since I am in Israel, I am never
surprised if I hit a site say that is discussing a topic and has
    adsense, and though this site is totally in English and
  geared to people in New York City, some of the adsense
adverts are in Hebrew based upon the content of the page
  I am on. The algorithm finds key words (more on those
               later) and feeds out the adverts.
So our first lesson on Search Engines and ranking and all
 that good stuff is about Content. Remember the rule.
"Content is King, but Original Content is the King of Kings."
