Does Valuable Content Generate Traffic? Not Always

Published by zenwriter at 12:00 am under Blogging, Techniques Edit This

Have you written some good content so that you could generate search engine traffic?

Traffic to your site or blog depends on your ranking in the search engine pages. Does good content rank highly in such pages?

We learn that search engine robots are getting smarter by the day. We are told they can easily differentiate between valuable content and spam.

Is this true? Are search engine robots that smart?

If you don’t get a good ranking because there are better content pages you’ll have to accept defeat graciously.
What if it’s spam or not-so-valuable page that ranks higher than your content page?

I’ve come across sales pages and product order pages that are ranked higher (first page)than good content pages, which are consigned to the third or fourth pages.

You and I know searchers don’t go beyond the second or third page in normal circumstances.

So, what can we do when a sales page or product order page ranks above your content page?

You will have to write more content on the same keywords and submit to article directories like ezinearticles. Search engines rank content from article directories highly and you can still drive traffic to your content pages in a roundabout way.

The other method would be to create a Youtube video on your keyword and leave a link to your content page in the video description section. Search engines rank Youtube videos highly and your video may end up on the first page for your chosen keyword.

Do these methods appeal to you? Do you have any other methods?
