Most SEO (Search Engine Optimization) experts will tell you that on the Web, content is king, however most importantly, you must understand that the content must be fresh content, and although article directories can be a great source of content, popular articles will be posted on hundreds or even thousands of websites, so how are you going to make your page and your words stand out and be noticed?

One way you can distinguish content that’s repeated is to wrap it with your own custom content both before and after the article, and another is to develop a regular routine to seek out newer and fresher articles and replace the older articles with the more current ones, and while this takes time and effort on your part, there are tools that are available to help both find articles and rotate them, and the more you follow the routine, the more skilled you will be a locating fresh content.

It is important to understand that if you can write, then creating your own content is really the best way to guarantee that your content is original and not contained on other websites, and even more important, it is also what search engines really love to find and index, but many people naturally feel very intimidated when they see a blank word processor file on the screen in front of them, so there are a few tips that can make the process much less difficult and stressful.

The topic you initially pick is critical to the process since if it is something you are knowledgeable about writing it will be easier, and it’s even better if you possess a real passion for the topic. Now when you begin the writing process you need to make sure the first copy is for yourself only, in other words, your first pass is creating a quick draft without having to worry about what others might think when they read your article. Remember, editing always comes later, and if you focus on just writing what comes to mind about the topic, you will find that you have plenty of content in a relatively short period of time, and at this point is when you can go back and edit the content to make it ready to publish. An important point to remember here is to think about what the target audience find most useful, and one really good thing about the Web is that the majority of readers have short attention spans, and as a result only like to read screen-size narratives rather than long tedious ones, so the good news is you are only looking at approximately 300-500 words!

Finally, when you get to the point that you want your content to lift your credibility or provide links back to your site, then there are many article directories where you can publish your work. But on the other hand, you might just want to put it exclusively on your own site, especially when you first start, and then with time look to the directories as well. Whichever you decide, after you have successfully published some content in the form of several articles or web pages you should find that once you adapt to the process, it isn’t very intimidating after all and you will be able to easily churn out lots of fresh interesting content for both visitors and search engines.
