One of the most important things to think about when writing content for your website is to avoid errors at all times. This is not just a matter of concern in terms of the integrity and reputation of your website – it also has implications with regard to search engine activity.

Spelling words incorrectly means that you won’t register in the results of searches undertaken for the same terms by people spelling them correctly.

Use Word

The easiest way to iron out the errors in your content before you post it on your site is to use a word processor to compose the content beforehand. Typing all your site content and blog posts into Word will show you where you are going wrong. Even though WordPress has tools of its own to pick up on spelling mistakes, they aren’t as powerful as those used by Word and errors can slip through the net.

Use UK English

WordPress is also designed for American users, but if you are writing for UK audiences they will not use American terminology for the things they are looking for. Typing your content in a word processor that is set to United Kingdom English will eradicate the Americanisms from your work, giving you a better chance of reaching a UK audience.

There’s a growing divide between online marketers who enjoy organic search and those who prefer paid search. What do your preferences say about you? …

SEO vs. PPC Debate — Which Do You Prefer?

Pretty much all of us have heard of and use one of the big three search engines on a daily basis. Google, Bing and Yahoo collectively make up just over 95 percent of the western world’s search engine market share.

As search engines optimisers we tend to put most of our effort into Google (and rightly so, with 70 to 80 percent of the market share.)

I was surprised to learn that a lot of the ancient search engines from back in the infancy of the Web are still up and running: Lycos, AltaVista and Excite are all still live and claim to be indexing and coming up with relevant results. My own personal favourite, long before Google was around, was Dogpile – and even that is still going.

There are also experimental new search engines, each with their own speciality. There’s the ill-fated Cuil that was launched in 2008 by ex-Google employees. It was far too over-hyped, but does integrate quite nicely with social media. It’s definitely one to keep an eye on.

There’s also Wolfram Alpha, a “computational knowledge” search engine that attempts (relatively successfully) to understand the meaning of web content computationally. As an example, you can enter “population of the UK” and it will return information taken from Wikipedia on the population and other information (such as age expectancy etc.) It sounds like a simple idea, but once the meaning of content can be properly understood by a computer (not just matching keywords and phrases) you can start ranking and graphing data much easier. It would be fantastic if this really took off and became more successful.
