A well know saying in web design and SEO. Why is content King?
Content is King!
In the web design world, the phrase "Content is King" highlights the crucial role of having good and fresh content. Regularly updating your website's content is vital to keeping it vibrant and engaging.
Why is Fresh Content Important?
-
Visitor Engagement:
Fresh, up-to-date content encourages visitors to return to your site. If nothing changes, there's no reason for them to come back since there's nothing new to see.
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO): Search engines deploy robots to index websites. These robots help build databases of active sites and categorize them accordingly. If your content remains static, the robots visit less frequently, and your site may be deemed outdated. Consequently, search engines will rank your site lower in search results. This might seem harsh, but search engines prioritize quality and current information to provide the best user experience.
How to Keep Your Content Fresh
You don't need to update every page regularly. It's sufficient to refresh some sections periodically to maintain frequent visits from search engine robots.
-
Dynamic Content:
Websites like blogs, news portals, event sites, and those with categorized databases naturally have frequently changing content.
- Adding Fresh Elements: If your site doesn't inherently update often, consider adding a blog, news section, or portfolio. Regular updates, at least every couple of weeks, will keep search engine robots coming back.
Quality Over Quantity
In addition to frequent updates, ensure your content is relevant, well-structured, and well-written. Search engines are adept at recognizing content that resonates with human readers. High-quality, useful content enhances your website's performance. Always create content with your audience in mind, not just for search engines.
