It may seem a little unfair, but a larger website will probably attract more visitors than a smaller one.
While this isn’t a universal truth, there is enough in this idea to make a web developer sit up and take notice when offered a way of adding content to his or her site.
A website that has six pages can rank a maximum of six times. A site with a thousand pages or articles can rank a thousand times. The equation really is that simple.
So a four page website can bet a maximum of four slots in the search engines. A thousand page website can get a thousand slots. It’s simple maths.
As a lone web developer, who understands how important it is to provide unique content for each web page, this can seem incredibly daunting. How would you go about creating thousands of pages with unique content.
But don’t worry, there are a number of well established and perfectly ethical techniques and products that can help you with this.
The first one to mention is syndication. The process of taking news-feeds from other sites via a syndication button that they will provide, and spreading their news onto your site in the form of articles or videos.
The original site gains because you are helping to spread their message, and you gain by having up-to-date well written content delivered to your site at the touch of a button. With the original author’s full consent.
In this way it might be possible to set up your site as a “hub” for your chosen niche. Having syndicated feeds from sites from all over the web, all in one place. Meaning you gain a reputation as a “one-stop-shop” for everything in your chosen field. This will get your site bookmarked by users and give you a great reputation. Gaining your web site targeted internet traffic into the bargain.
Setting up syndication is not that difficult, most sites have an orange “radiate” button in a corner of each article that shows the URL of the “feed” from that site.
If you want more content, and unique content, to your site. (Unique content is ranked higher than syndicated content) then there are other simple steps you can take that will ensure you can spend your time being creative rather than stressed out by the size of site you are trying to create.
Your website needs content driven traffic. Without doubt you could use free unique content to get massive internet traffic
