I think alot of people still miss out why you have a website. Depending on what your site is about usually depends on how you tackle the subject of your site. If you are reading this article you are probably wanting to or already have aimed your site in the direction of commerce. Which simply means that you want to create and generate a revenue off it, probably through advertising. What you may be missing is even though you want a revenue site, you may not know how to achieve it so that visitors keep coming back. Well isn't that the most important part of a commerce creating website. If visitors don't come back then your revenue is probably sitting at $0.59 if you are lucky. For others it is $0.00.
So what keeps people coming back to your site day after day. Alot of companies and sites forget that it is your content. After the initial click to visit your website and a front page inspection, it is truly your content that I am after. Trust me on this one. If the same information I viewed on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday is still there on Thursday, then your site is probably of no interest to me. Depending on how good your content is and how often you update it will determine your success in having people return to your website. Just like if you are going to the movies. If Monday you go to see Star Wars, then Tuesday you see Star Wars and Wednesday you see Star Wars, then you will be pretty bored if you go back Thursday to see Star Wars(unless you are a huge fan). The truth is you probably won't be going back to the theatre because you have already seen the movie or in this case the content three times already.
So the trick to it is adding new content to your website each and every day. If every time I come to your website there is something for me to read or explore then I will keep coming back. There are so many free sites out there for content especially ones that allow you to add articles to your website free of charge, that you can offer many great resources via articles for your visitors. If you view my short bio in this article(usually at the bottom) you can visit our site for free content that you can add to your site as well.
Remember if the content is good then people will come back. If the content is updated everyday and is a resource to people then they will tell their friends. This will send additional visitors to your website which will lead to an increase in participation on your site but also an increase of revenue.
Site Content And Structure
This article is written specifically for stay at home parents who are looking to start a web-based home business. If you are already an operator of a website you probably have heard often or even read about the importance of having fresh, quality site content. What exactly is site content and is it really just all about articles and the information contained in articles, or is there more?
It is true that site content is primarily made up of articles and textual information. Look at just about any site on the Internet and you will find that most of the content requires the site visitor to read to understand what is being offered up.
Yet, thought this is true there are some other mediums that should be considered when building content for your website. Before we get to the other content types we should consider how the different ways people think and learn. Some learn best by reading, others by viewing and others by interaction. Knowing this will help you when deciding which type of content you should include on your site.
Here are three examples of content that can be used to deliver your message.
Textual Content - Content that is great for getting a lot of detailed information out can be descriptive and paint a word picture of the message you want to convey.
Video Content - Very hot content delivery method. Many visitors are comfortable with video having grown up with it. Great for building immediate rapport with the viewer. The message is dependant on the quality and length of the video. One consideration is that if your audience is world wide, not all visitors will have powerful enough computers to display video.
Graphic Content - Content that delivers a message through pictures. This can be art, cartoons or anything with visual appeal. The graphic should be consistent with your sites theme.
Interactive Content ? Content that users can use over and over again. Think about a kid's website that offers free puzzles, pictures to color in, word searches.
As you read this article you will certainly become aware of other content that is available and can be used to enhance the look and feel of your particular website. The challenge for you is to find the happy medium between having text, video, graphic and interactive content. A purely bland website has only one type of content might not be inspiring enough for a visitor to stay on the site or even visit again.
