In my last post, I mentioned a few ideas to keep in mind when writing good content for search engines. Today I will talk about keeping your content simple.
Writing content online is about the only place in the world where "keeping it simple" is accepted. Most people who use the internet tend to scan a page for keywords before they even begin reading. Keeping in mind, a lot of people already have trouble reading text on a screen.
To make things simple, always find different ways to keep a page short and simple.
3 ways of keeping a pages content short and simple.
* Reduce the number of words whenever possible in your content.
For example: Instead of saying "things went from bad to worse" just say "things got a lot worse."
* Avoid using slangs words or dialects.
For example: "y'all" or "gonna" or wanna, or a phrase "old as the hills."
* Using more syllables in a sentence will not make you sound smarter. What it actually does, keeps the reader from reading your content by skipping it.
Keeping it simple should, help you in bringing more traffic to you website.
