The most valuable thing in any site is its content, that is, the information that the site offers to its visitors. It is for information that people come to the Internet and travel through its countless pages. Accordingly, the question of how to fill the site, how to make its content in order to attract as many visitors as possible, is one of the most important and difficult for any webmaster.
Instructions
Step 1
Filling the site with relevant and interesting news is a special art. Very often, novice site builders simply have no idea how to fill the site with information, where to start. If you are one of them, follow the suggested advice.
Step 2
You should think about the content of the site, its content even at the stage of development of the site itself. Depending on what type of site you plan to create, the information posted on it will also depend. Whether it will be a blog site, a news portal, or a commercial site designed to promote the services of a company.
Step 3
It is also advisable to draw up a detailed plan for the creation of content and the frequency of its publications. It is easy to understand that a blog should be updated more often than a company's website, but that its information does not have to be strictly structured and tied to one specific topic.
Step 4
At this stage, novice site builders are often faced with the pressing question - where to actually get specific information for their content. In general, there are many options here and the choice of sources depends on the subject of the site and its tasks. If a commercial resource is created, designed to promote the services or goods of a certain company, to be its virtual representation, then, of course, all information presented on the site should be obtained only from representatives of this company and exactly correspond to reality.
Step 5
For an entertainment or news blog, as a source of information, you can use numerous news feeds (lenta.ru, Yandex. News, NEWSru.com, etc.) or make translations from foreign information portals. Any offline publications (reference books, encyclopedias, specialized magazines, popular science books) are suitable for thematic sites.
Step 6
After developing a plan for publishing materials, you can proceed to the gradual preparation of content, which consists in writing texts (articles) and selecting suitable pictures. You can write materials either yourself or order professional copywriters on text exchanges. However, it is important to remember that the main value of information is in its uniqueness. Neither people nor search engines like the duplicate content that can be found on many sites. Users will ignore such sites, and search engines will simply remove them from the search results. Therefore, even if you use rewriting, make sure that the texts look readable and have a high percentage of uniqueness.
Step 7
If you are making a website for yourself, for your own purposes, and not to order, then it is preferable to focus it on those topics that are more or less interesting to you personally. Firstly, you yourself will understand better in such a topic, and secondly, it will be easier to update the site, since the interest in creating information will not disappear. There is no need to chase after a topic that you personally are not at all interested in and in which you do not understand anything, no matter how commercially popular it is.
Step 8
Images and videos play an important role in the perception of information. As you know, any text reads better and attracts more attention if it is accompanied by a bright picture. Photos and images can be used as your own, if you know how to photograph well, and borrowed from a variety of photo banks. Photobanks or photo stocks, as they are also called, are large portals containing entire databases of high-quality images available for use. Photos in them can be offered for download for free or for a small fee. Which photo stock you prefer depends on your views and finances. The selection of them on the Internet is very large.
Step 9
It is very important not to forget about copyright. If you take some news or information from another site, be sure to indicate its name and put a link. This attitude towards someone else's information property always makes a good impression and increases the reputation of the resource.
