SEO Text and Content Optimization

Content is king. That’s for sure. Your search engine optimization efforts can be really much, it doesn’t help if you don’t have good and unique content. Quality content is both important for the users of your website and the search engine spiders. Search engines honor unique content because it increases the satisfaction of the search engine users. Different sources of good text and information are a necessity that users come back - both for the search engine and your website. If a search engine result page (SERP) has among ten listings 5 times the same content, this will be pretty unsatisfactory. Thus, good SEO content will fall back positively to the ranking of your website.

The users honor your good content as well. They will come back and recommend the site, moreover, you will more likely get links from other websites. Of course, writing unique content is a tough job. But you will get rewarded. Whereas those who do only keyword inclusion in a standard text will be punished. Not too long ago, webmaster uploaded thousands of webpages with the same text, just the keywords were automatically exchanged. No chance for them to get good rankings any more!

So actually the right term should be content creation instead of content optimization.

Vice versa, duplicate content will reduce your ranking. If done heavily we talk about text spam and that can have serious effects - even an exclusion of the SERPs can be thinkable.

Good content goes closely along with a good text amount. A reasonable text amount is considered to be 300 to 400 words at least. 200 words and less will be hardly recognized by search engines. The keyword density in the SEO text should not exceed 5 to 8%, else it could be keyword spamming.

Last but not least, good content and information will more likely draw links to your website which will boost your rankings even more.

Good content attributes

Unique information
As mentioned before the content needs to be unique. No-one likes to read the same content again and again on different webpages or categories on one website.
Scannable structure
The text should have good structure for the eyes, so you can fly over the text and right away get the most important information. Highlighting the keywords is very efficient as well.
An answer to a question
A website is worth reading when you get an answer to the question you entered in the search slot of a search engine, for instance. Still happens often enough, that you have to scan 10 different websites to get a solution.
Quality of grammar, punctuation and spelling
If you stumble upon mistakes all the time, you’ll lose patience and attention and thus even a professional text will become annoying.
