Google Loves Content and Rewards People Who Produce It

This is a guest post from googleadsenserevenue.org a blog that helps you make money with Adsense.

The more I have been doing SEO the more I have learned this fact: Google loves content, aka words.

That FACT cannot be emphasized enough.

I will say it again.

The search engine, known as Google, loves text.  It is what they pride themselves on and they have the best system at reading, analyzing, and properly indexing it.

Flash, pictures, animation, and videos are great.  There is nothing wrong with those things (besides Flash, avoid that at all costs for SEO purposes) but they all must be accompanied by text.

My standard is at least 300 words of text on the home page and at least 150 words of text on any sub page I make.

I am on the internet at least ten hours a day.  Its how I make a living so I have to be.  And it surprises me that people still have not gotten this by now.  I see the most beautiful websites designed but they have little to no text.  And the owners of them, who spend thousands getting them made, cannot understand why it is not ranking for any of its terms.

Here are two suggestions I can give you when it comes to content that will help you immensely if you apply them

Home Page and Sub pages Must Have Enough Key Word Rich Content (On Page SEO)

When we get a new client we check two things before anything else.  First, we check to see if the coding is up to W3C standards (which it is usually not) and second item we inspect is the content.

When it comes to content we look for three important items in which the web designers most likely did not think about.

• 300 words of text on the home page

• all sub pages have some kind of text

• keywords are in the text enough for relevance but not overly so to where it looks like spam (this is actually an art as most people do this part wrong)

• check for duplicate content on Copyscape (big “no no” though Google lets local searches get away with it many times)

We still add videos, images, and all the other things to dress up a website but for search engine optimization purposes we make sure rich content either proceeds or follows all of those items.

Google Loves Articles (Off Page SEO)

Google has always and will always love articles.  I use article writing extensively when it comes to achieving first page ranking for my personal websites and my company’s clients.  I have gotten many websites to page one by writing 2-3 well written articles for them.

Ezine, GoArticles, Hubpages, and Tumblr are some of the best.  But more importantly is the type of article you write.

I do not know how Google bots can tell a good article from one that is not but, believe me, they can.  I have written 100s of articles on every topic imaginable and I have noticed that the ones I put a lot of work into and made them long, and I mean 600-800 words long, have done the best.

There are some Ezine articles I wrote back in February that are a PR3 right now.  That is seen as an authoritative article to Google.  I invested 20 minutes of research into a topic, one hour writing the article, and now three months later its a PR3.  Amazing!  Better than any reciprocal or forum link could have done.

Again, Google loves content.

Keep in mind that they make hundreds of millions off articles so you can understand why they are partial to them.

Every article directory has Adsense on their website now.  Look at all of them and you will see it.  Its everywhere.

Even the top notch ones like EHow, About.com, and Helium all use adsense ads to monetize their websites.  And Google gives anyone who feeds those directories with quality content higher rankings.

It is one of the tools I have used extensively to a steady stream of income of Google adsense revenue.

So, do ya’ like writing?

I hope so.  If you do not then SEO is going to be very difficult for you.  Usually people who do not like to write but still want to rank high in the SERPS resort to “black hat” because they are lazy.  Those techniques require very little work and anyone who does search engine optimization, and is good at it, can tell you its hours of work.

Hours of writing.  Hours of making content for your website and others.  But once you reach your goal its worth it.

Content is still king with Google. Remember its how they were able to beat Yahoo and MSN in the early 2000s.  People were noticing that when they did a search on Google they got more informational results while the others were producing crap. Tons of images but very little useful data.

The more useful content you create the better you will do.  Unless you want to mass comment spam other websites then it is something you will have to get used to.  Google loves words and the more you feed the “big G” what it loves the more it will in turn reward you.
