Muscle Weighs More Than Fat

Today's topic is a common website myth: "The more content, the better for SEO rankings."

Hello!

Today, let's address a myth surrounding website optimization: "The more content you have, the better your search engine rankings."

It’s not unlike the notion that “more fat equates to more weight…” when in actuality - muscle weighs more than fat.

When it comes to website content, it's less about the quantity and more about the quality that matters most.

Just as lean, well-toned muscle holds more value to our bodies, so does concise, high-quality content for our websites.

So How Do We Develop Our SEO "Muscles"?

  • Craft targeted content that addresses the specific questions and needs of your clients, customers, or donors.

  • Write naturally, avoiding the temptation to “keyword stuff”.

  • Organize page your content logically with clear headers for improved readability and ease of scanning/skimming.

  • Incorporate relevant internal and external links to enhance the credibility and continuity of your content with other related sections of your site.

When auditing your current content, it’s better to have 10 highly optimized pages than to clutter your site with 100 weaker ones.

Quality content strengthens your website's topical authority among search engine algorithms - which leads to your content being shown more often for relevant searches.

“Trim the fat” by removing underperforming or duplicate pages, and instead focus on robust, meaningful content.

Over time, this disciplined approach will cultivate enhanced ranking power for your website.

Focus on “building muscle”, not accumulating “fat”. Craft quality content - tailored to your target audience, and watch as your website's traffic and engagement flourish.

Here's to sculpting an impeccably optimized website.
