Get some content, any content.
In an article that
seems to have been copied and reposted over fifty times (depending
on how we search for it) on various web sites, David Callan, apparently a
well respected "Internet marketing professional" doesn't only tell us
(as almost everyone does) that content is king. He wants to help us get that content,
and he offers us pointers for doing so. He tells us that we need:
... original content, if someone asked me what I considered
good content I'd say that it was content that's different and unique and not
the same as the content on the other website I just came from.
That may seem rather obvious, but if so, it's sort of hard to explain his suggestion
for getting that content:
If you feel you're great at creating products but don't feel the same way about your writing skills and think you can't write your own content there are hundreds of places where you can get content for free, usually all that's required of you is that you place a small bio of the original writer at the bottom of the article or tutorial.
To find free content like this simply visit any major search engine and type
in "free your keywords here content"
and then visit a couple of the returned sites. You'll be surprised at the amount
of free content you can get for your site.
Well, I admit that I tried this, both for dogs and for pets, and
sure enough, among my results were pages that I could copy and post on my web
site (were it devoted to dogs). But if all of us are doing this in order to get
content onto our sites because we've read that without content nobody is going
to visit our sites, it's hard to understand how that content is going to be different
and unique. But perhaps that also explains why so many copies of this article
seem to appear on so many sites.
