Website Content Optimization
|
Optimized content is
critical to get the most out of
your website. The question is
how to focus your optimization
efforts? Should it be optimized
for W3C (The World Wide Web
Consortium) validation, search
engines, browser load times, or
optimized for visitors? The
simple answer is yes! All four
are valid components to attract
and keep visitors.
W3C
develops protocols and
guidelines that set a standard
for the internet. Valid HTML is
paramount when creating websites
standardized for multiple
browsers and compatible with
most search engines. A website
that does not validate may look
fine in some browsers and not in
others. Search engines may dock
a website's rank if it does not
contain valid HTML.
Browser load times are dependant
on server code execution, image
optimization, compression, and
other factors. If a web page
takes too long to load, visitors
may abandon the page and never
return.
Search engines
use unique algorithms to
determine search engine rankings
for each website. Relevant
content is information that your
target audience finds
applicable. For example, medical
information would be out of
place on an auto parts website.
Your content should be
appropriate for your audience.
Most importantly, content
should first and foremost focus
on visitors. Content
optimization needs to emphasize
the target audience of each
website. If a website does not
reach its core audience, the
other optimizations won't
matter.
