Web Content (Mass + Keywords) +
         Links = SEO
Of course, the whole goal of the search engines' ranking
 schemes is precisely to deliver good, relevant content to
 users. The mechanism for how search engines select and
    reward good, relevant content is essentially just a
technical issue, though admittedly an extremely important
                      technical issue.
But even in purely technical, mechanistic, terms, web
 content affects search engine rankings three ways:
1. inbound links
2. website mass
3. keyword optimization
1. Web Content and Inbound Links
Inbound links are the number-one factor in getting search
 engine rankings. They also yield plenty of traffic on their
own. The importance of links is what has led many people
   to say that content is no longer important. But those
  people forget that content really does play a big role in
               getting links in the first place:
* At the very least, good content will make potential link
partners more comfortable with linking to your site. No
one wants to link to a link farm, splog, junk site, or even
           just an unprofessional-looking site.
* Lots of good content gives other webmasters (and
 particularly bloggers) a reason to link to your site
        spontaneously without being asked.
* You can allow other websites to post your content in
         exchange for a link back to your site.
2. Web Content Mass
More web pages of content = more search engine traffic
1. Adding pages to your site is like putting out extra nets to
                      catch surfers.
2. Search engines see bigger websites as more prestigious
                       and reliable.
3. The more content you have, the more reasons you give
 other webmasters, particularly bloggers, to link to your
        site spontaneously, without being asked.
3. Web Content Keyword Optimization
Keyword optimization used to be the most important step
    in SEO. Now it matters little in ranking for highly
                competitive keywords.
Still, keyword optimization can really help you get traffic
 from searches not on competitive keywords. While you
   may never rank number 1 for "finance," you may still
  show up tops for a search on "household finance rent
       federal tax deductions" if you have that phrase
    somewhere in your content. Such non-competitive
  searches make up a very large proportion of total web
                          searches.
Web Content Keyword Optimization Checklist:
There are four legs to keyword optimization:
* Research/selection
* Density
* Prominence
* Stemming/Variation
Keyword Research and Selection
You need to identify keywords searched on by your target
audience. Use tools such as those offered by WordTracker
    and Yahoo Search Marketing (formerly Overture).
There are two big pitfalls to avoid:
* "Negative keywords" that look relevant but are not
 really searched on by your target market. For instance,
"website copy" is a synonym for "website content," but
most people searching on "website copy" are looking for
software that copies an entire website to the hard drive
                  for offline browsing.
* Impossibly competitive keywords that you have no
  realistic chance of ranking high for them. How do you
know if a keyword is impossibly competitive? One rough
   measure is to look at the PageRank of the webpages
currently ranking in the top three for that keyword. If the
    PageRank of those pages is much higher than the
PageRank your site will likely have in the future, you will
            probably never outrank those pages.
A pay-per-click campaign with Google Adwords of Yahoo!
 Search Marketing will help you to find which keywords
     really are searched on by your target audience.
Keyword Density
Keywords appear in the content the right number of times
 for search engines to recognize the page as relevant, but
not so often that it looks like keyword stuffing. The longer
 the content, the more times the keyword should appear.
Keyword Prominence
Keywords appear in just the right positions within your
   web pages for search engines to recognize them as
 relevant. The page title, headings, and first lines of the
page are often considered the most prominent positions.
Keyword Stemming/Keyword Variation
* Using variations of the keyword will help ensure web
pages appear relevant to the next generation of more
        sophisticated search engine algorithms.
* In the meantime, variations of popular keywords helps
   your site appear for the "non-standard" searches on
                variations of the keyword.
There are three main types of keyword variations:
For many people, the SEO side of content feels like a moot
point. You need content for your visitors even if no search
  engine spider ever notices. But every website budget,
 both of money and time, is finite. If you're ever choosing
whether to invest in another link to please search engines
 or another page of content to please your visitors, don't
        forget: search engines still like content, too.
