Tips for Writing Web Content
1. Always start with keyword research for SEO.
SEO keyword research tells you what topics Google (and your audience) finds relevant. It illuminates your competitor’s content strategy, and highlights the strengths and weaknesses in your own.
2. Keyword stuffing is never okay
Keywords are a means to make your content valuable, readable and search-friendly. But when you start cramming in keywords, it does the exact opposite.
3. Always hyperlink to your sources
When you reference another website’s content, make sure you hyperlink back to that site. Its good internet etiquette and you’d want the same courtesy.
4. Make the reader feel something.
There are a lot of factors that go into viral content. Promotion is a huge factor, and brand identity, timing all play a role. But almost all viral writing shares one thing in common; emotional impact...
5. Keep the action in your content writing
Writing for the web should be powerful and direct... To do that, your sentence structure, word choice and style need to emphasize action.
6. When writing for the web, cut it up.
If you’re writing the novel, it’s okay to end paragraphs when pauses seem natural. Writing for the web, however, is a whole different world.
Don’t worry if an idea doesn’t seem to be fully “complete” before hitting that enter key. Err on the side of short paragraphs and chop it up!
7. Update your links
Most website content writers know the importance of internal links. Linking to other pages on your site boosts SEO, gives readers useful info, and increases page views.
8. Give your readers a reason to care from the first sentence
Good intros are hard. It can feel unnatural to skip right to the point. You want to provide some background, warm the reader up and then work your way to the main topic when you feel ready.
9. Paint a picture
Creating web content writing is a lot different than writing a 5th grade book report. Your audience is choosing to read your content. Imagery is a great way to capture their attention.
10. If you’re not sure, look it up
There’s never been a better time to learn as you go. Double checking the words/grammar/spelling/etc.
11. Keep the reading level low
In general, the easier your article is to read, the better.
12. Provide added value
Your content writing should always offer value to the reader in terms of insightful ideas and actionable tips, give your readers a parting gift.
13. Never self edit your work (at least, not right away).
Ideally, you’ll have somebody to edit your writing. If you’re responsible for writing and editing your web content, don’t do both in the same day.
