In a simple sentence Content is basically information. Information about anything from fashion to e-commerce or any subject. But Content and Quality Content Makes a Huge Difference. “The success of your home business website rests in large measure on its content”.
You’ve heard it before and you’re about to hear it again: Content is king.
That oft-repeated mantra gets so much play because it’s so true. Content makes the worldwide web go ’round. It’s the very reason people get online in the first place — they’re looking for information or entertainment in the form of content.
There are many reasons why having a lot of content can help your home business. Quantity matters. It’s helpful in terms of search engine performance and can boost your business in other ways, too. Quality content and home business success goes hand in hand.
We’re not going to focus on the issue of quantity in this article, however. Instead, let’s talk about why high-quality content can boost website performance significantly. We’re going to frame this discussion in terms of an affiliate marketing model, though quality content is critical for the success of any site, because I am a strong advocate of building a home business website using affiliate techniques.
Here are just two of the reasons why you should be filling your website with the best possible content.
First, it pre-sells the products you’re promoting. If you have a site filled with junk, you may still “trick” the search engines into delivering some traffic.
If you think that traffic will be excited to follow your affiliate links, however, you’re in for a rude awakening. Low-quality material is a turn off and people would prefer to search again than trust links provided by someone who’s insulting them with weak material.
Good content increases credibility, which in turn increases click through rates on affiliate links. That’s part of the pre-selling aspect of good content.
Another part of the equation is the fact that well-written material can actually serve as a kind of soft sell for the products themselves, decreasing resistance to the buying process and pointing out the way certain purchases might be able to solve the visitors’ problems.
Second, good content attracts links. The search engines interpret inbound links to websites as proof of their quality and likely authority. The best possible links in this regard are non-reciprocal links from other thematically related sites. The best way to get them?
Quality content: Provide the world with something worth reading.
Link building is at the core of successful site promotion via search engine optimization and good content inspires the kind of organic linking that Google, et al., will gladly interpret as votes of confidence. Is your content up to snuff? If you’re trying to build your home business website with inferior material, you can expect inferior results. The most profitable sites are those based on a healthy supply of quality content.
Can you make money with other methods? Absolutely. However, all other things being equal, the presence of well-written, original content will make a huge difference in terms of traffic production and actual sales. Quality Content: The bottom line for home business success. I don’t know if you can safely skimp on any aspect of home business website development. I do know, however, that no one should skimp on content quality.
