Writing Tips

Following is a simple three-step process to get you headed in the right direction writing content:
  1. Organize.
    Once you know the pages you want to incorporate into your Website, you will need to organize them for navigation purposes.  Create an outline of the pages you want, and how you want them organized.  This will be helpful to you, and also to the web site designer. 
  2. Write.
    You will want to write with your audience in mind.  Whatever you write must make sense to them.  Avoid technical jargon, unless you know they will understand it.  Focus on writing your content first and adding keywords second.  If you try to do it all at once, you will probably lose focus and your content will lose its sense of purpose.
  3. Edit.
    Read your content not once, not twice, but three times.  Then, get a second set of eyes to read it again.  Your content should set you apart from your competition.  Try to figure out what makes you different than all the rest and make that your main focus when writing.  Good content should be informative, attention-getting, search engine friendly and concise.  Resist the temptation to copy content from other sites - not only is plagiarism a no-no but copied material won't be representative of YOUR business.  Finally, you're going to want to refresh your content every so often.  Not only will it give search engine spiders some new material to index, but it will keep your visitors coming back for more.
