How do I find a web site content writer?

Once you have a web site content idea and you have selected the optimum keywords (link to finding the best keywords for my site), you need someone to create the content. A qualified writer will not only be experienced in writing in your preferred style, but in creating online content. The writer should be familiar with keyword usage and search engine optimization. Someone who specializes in web content writing and development will be best positioned to do the job you need. You can find several web site content writers at Writers Row, or you can place a job posting at the Writers Row forum.


Can't I just use free web content?

There are writers who create free content and make it available for web sites to publish. However, this "free" content usually requires that you link back to the author's page or include another form of promotion. Since this content is not created expressly for your needs, it may not target the precise market you want to attract or use the ideal key words for your business.

In addition, many of the free articles have been published on multiple web sites; displaying duplicate content can lower your search engine rankings. So, if you really want content that will attract both visitors and search engines, it is best to commission some custom content from a qualified web content writer. When web content sourcing, make sure you keep your goal – good, compelling content that will attract visitors and get better search engine rankings – in mind.

How do I find the best keyword for my site?

When choosing keywords, start with your core business. To find the best keywords, first consider what kind of service do offer. Write down all of the relevant terms you think people might search for if they wanted to find your site. Don't forget to use synonyms; for example if your site sells car insurance, make sure you include the terms auto insurance and automobile insurance. Then, you may want to use one of the many online keyword performance tools to find the terms people are most often entering in their searches. Wordtracker is one of the most commonly used pay keyword performance tools used by people who are choosing keywords; there are also free online tools that offer similar functions.
