Quality Content and its Importance

Content can be defined as anything that is written and presented on the internet for the audience to read. Content can be of good as well as poor quality. Good quality content must have two main qualities:

1) It should be user friendly i.e. it should be able to please the audience.

2) It should be search engine friendly i.e. it should be able to gain good rankings over search engine.

Importance of Quality Content:

Anyone who writes can never ignore the important role that the content plays in determining its fate. It is the content that pulls the audience to your written content whereas, if the written content is of poor quality opposite of it will likely happen. So you can never take a risk of being careless about the quality of content no matter what you are writing; a book, creating your website, preparing a presentation or anything else.

A great deal of hard work and thinking is required to generate a piece of good quality content. The most important objective for any writer is that the audience read the content. For instance the aim of a website owner includes gaining good rankings, having loyal readers and a good amount of traffic visiting the website and this all can be gained by writing good quality content on the website.

Writing articles is a popular source of free "lifetime" advertising, although more and more people are now starting to realise this fact and the search engines have started to clamp down on articles marketing. Is article marketing a thing of the past?  It can certainly lead to great exposure and recognition, so we recommend that if you have an important message to say - then writing an article is worthwhile.  If you just post articles for the sake of the search engines rankings it probably won't be worthwhile.  The main issue is whether you have valuable content.

So how do you get started in article marketing? What do you write about? What do you actually do with your articles once you’ve written them? 

Getting started in article marketing

Do you have a passion? Are you particularly well-versed in a certain topic? Are you willing to invest time in doing research? Either one of these are all you really need, but if you’ve got all 3, then you’re definitely on the right track.  If you don't have any of these qualities then you probably shouldn't be in business!

So grab a cup of tea or coffee, open up notepad/WordPad or even grab a pen and paper. Write down a 5-6 line bio about yourself and/or the product/program you’re promoting, this is known as your "Resource Box", and should be at the bottom of each and every article you write. The "Resource Box" is THE only place you should promote ANYTHING at all in the article.

Next you need to focus on a topic. Start jotting down thoughts, and don’t worry about how mixed up they may seem to be at first, just keep going. If you can’t think of many things at first, save your work, and look it over another day, more ideas will pop into your head.

Once you feel you have enough, start moving things around until they really begin to make sense to you. Keep going until you’re happy with what you’ve got. Remember, articles don’t need to be mega-long, so long as they are helpful and informative. Write as you would speak, and make it personal, as if you are talking to a good friend. Let your personality shine through.

Anything you are passionate about, or are well-versed on is a great start. You’re not passionate about anything? Not an "expert" in any subject at all? Well do some research. Start by thinking about what YOU would like to read about, what kind of information would YOU find helpful? Thought about it? Go to www.google.com and type it in, see what comes up, start looking into the various things you find. You could even ask friends and colleagues what THEY would be interested in reading articles about.

What, still can’t come up with anything? It gets like that sometimes, so relax, take a deep breath, and start visiting forums/message boards. What questions are being asked? What do people need help with? Hang out in chat rooms, ask the same questions there, get as much feedback as you can, then start working from there. Eventually, you’ll find you’ve managed to write a GREAT article, in plain English, offering helpful/useful information.

Let a couple of your closest, most honest friends read through your articles for you. Don’t get offended if they make suggestions, some of them might even be good ones.  

Then there's all the article directories, and there are TONS of them. It's hard work submitting manually to them all, but then at least you know for definite that they WERE actually submitted. Don’t worry, Mile High Media have an SEO service that can submit articles to article directories for you.

Use these ideas and resources to promote yourself with, and even though it’s scary at first, it DOES get better with practice. Always add your "Resource Box" and copyright information with EVERY article and EVERY submission, it’s free advertising for you, and if your articles are good enough, they will be used over and over again creating a lot of traffic for your website, and increasing your authority on the subject.

If you decide that you absolutely, positively don’t want to write your own articles, you can pay somebody else to write them and put your name to them. Mile High Media can help you find ghost-writers and freelance writers online.

Choosing domain names, or web addresses is a major thing when you want to do business online. Whilst a great, or even halfway decent domain name may not guarantee success, it can most definitely have an impact on just about all aspects of your online business. So how can a business choose a great domain name?  Here are our top tips.

When choosing a domain name, your best bet is to get one that is short, concise and easy to remember, as this will minimise confusion. If you are going for a domain that could possibly cause a bit of confusion, then it’s generally it falls into one of these categories: words that sound similar, common misspellings, hyphenated or non-hyphenated variations.

Generally domain names with less than three syllables are best.  However, long domain names offer more flexibility in choosing a domain name, allowing you to be more descriptive about what your site is about or what it does.  this could be an advantage for SEO purposes.

Don’t choose domain names like stuff4free.com or free-stuff-online though, as it makes it hard for the domain to be passed on to others through word of mouth. People can’t actually "hear" whether it’s 4 or four, and they can’t "hear" the hyphens.

Just like complicated email addresses, joe_bloggs.com looks ok, but try telling someone to go there, joe underscore bloggs dot com is just hard to say.  you might have customers from another part of the world that might not speak English as well as you do, so choose a domain name that is easy to get right.  Short domain names are generally better than long, just for convenience sake.  I'm sure that you will have to enter your email address or domain name many times in the future so the shorter the better.

I’m not a fan of dots, dashes and numbers in a domain name, I think I prefer them as letters all in a row, like stuffforfree.com, freestuffonline.com and joebloggs.com (or whatever else the extension may be).

Try testing out names on family and friends, together you could come up with a really great name, one you wouldn’t have thought up on your own, and with a bit of luck it may not have been taken already.

Once you have your domain name you need to think about the top level domain eg .com, .co.uk or .net etc.  From experience I must say that if you can't get the .com it's better to choose another domain name.  Some people even go as far as to buy other domain names to prevent against copycats that might try to clone your business.  At the same time be aware of internet registration companies that try to sell you other top level domains by claiming that another company wants to buy them too.

All Mile High Media websites include a free .com domain name and our brand management experts can advise you on your choice.

Congratulations you have a new business! Now you need a website to get more customers.  Here are our top tips for new UK businesses about websites and what your website should and shouldn't do.

Get a professional website. Don't be cheap!  Of course you could get a free site at first, just to experiment. But people might not take you seriously if you have a website hosted for free and covered with banner ads.  Owning your own domain name adds credibility to your site, and Mile High Media can help you buy a domain name at a bargain price, so do that as soon as you feel ready.

Get a really fast-loading website from which to sell your products. You don’t have long to catch a potential customers interest, so choose a website that is fast loading and interesting. All Mile High Media websites are designed to be fast, search engine friendly and powerful.

Don’t fill the webpages with a ton of waffle. Give the most important information. What can the person get from using the product or service? Why is the product exactly what the person needs? What is the price etc? Give people a way to pay immediately, in case they REALLY like what they see, there and then.

If you have a LOT of information, give them a link to a "more info" page, perhaps with photos and payment options. Get an autoresponder where people can sign up for your Email Newsletters for notices on future products. Give them an incentive in exchange for their name and email address.

Build your contact list honestly! No "leads" buy from uncertain sources, so don't "harvesting" email addresses, or bug friends and family to sign up. Once you have built up a list of subscribers you need to keep in touch with your contacts regularly.

Why not send your contacts an email asking for a little more information? Maybe a poll on what type of things they’re most interested in? If you know what your contacts are looking for, then you have something to work with. You can find whatever they need, test it out, and when you’re happy with it, say "Hey, I found something I think you may like!"

Narrow your focus. Don’t try to be "everything" to "everyone", you’ll just end up spreading yourself out way too thin. Find what works for you, what excites you, and work from there. Yes, I said "excites". We all need a bit of excitement in life, right? So why not work with something you’re excited about? If and when it stops working for you, drop it and move on.

Improve your website's usability. The ease with which visitors are able to use a Web site is very important,especially if you’re trying to market something from the site. Usability is very much about how quickly and easily visitors are able to move around the site and not just about making sure everything on the site works.

The need for your website to be easily navigated is enormous. Messy, disruptive and confusing sites are a huge turn off to potential customers. In other words: if you’re looking to make sales, make sure your website is easy to navigate so as not to chase off visitors at first sight. Navigation (links for moving around the site)is extremely important if you want your visitors to look at more than just your main page. If navigation choices are unclear, most visitors will just hit the "Close" button, never to be seen again.

As a rule of thumb, the main navigation is usually placed in the top 1/3 of the web page or on the left hand column, and the secondary navigation tends to be placed within the bottom 2/3 of the page, or on the right hand column. Of course, this is entirely your choice, because, as with all rules, there ARE exceptions ;~)

Build a website yourself or hire a professional webdesign team? If you want to build your website on your own from scratch, I highly recommend getting some free webspace and installing a CMS like Joomla or Wordpress.  Web-design is actually quite easy, but getting the website just right can take a lot of time.  In a new business you can't afford to waste time messing around fixing bugs when you could be better off getting a proper website built right the first time. Also be careful of hidden costs like web-hosting, templates, customisation, graphic design, analytics and ongoing SEO work.  There's quite a lot of extra work involved in running a website. Also keep in mind that to be taken seriously, you really will need to get your own domain and proper hosting for your site at some point in time.
