The Content War
So the other day I was searching for Wordpress themes to change the look of the Lousy Poet (what do you think BTW?). While flitting from one blog to the next, I came across a great article that I would like to share. You can read the article for your self by following THIS LINK.
In a nutshell, the author demonstrates how having effective, and at least 10 comprehensive articles on a single topic will set your site ahead of others like it. His example is simply that setting up an e-store can be done by anyone nowadays, so the only true thing that sets sites apart is their content. By providing consistent articles that start with the initial 10, you can gain some love from the search engines, and have an audience that consistently comes back to check on your site.
It made me realize how the manic and inconsistent quality here at the Poet is probably doing no favours to my visitor counts. However, it also made me start to question just what topic I knew enough about, and loved enough, to write at least 10 quality articles about. There was a time when I could think of some, but life and living on a budget has taken me some distance from pretty much all of them. It’s something I’m going to be giving some considerable thought over the next few days. Meanwhile, I’ll continue with the site re-vamp.
