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.
