When trying to build a site it is crucial to understand why your content makes a difference for Search Engine Optimization and why your goal should be to maximize it. Content is critical for SEO because it helps to establish the relevance of a page, and search engine results are all about the relevance. It helps qualify a site for both organic and pay per-click results. When building good content you must also be aware of the relevance of it, proper use of keywords (naturally throughout the body of text). Some other key tips to keep in mind when writing good content is to write for users first, don’t be spammy with keywords etc. and don’t write mechanically. Another way to optimize your content is to constantly check competitors content to make sure there isn’t any gaps in what others are searching for and to see the quality of their content. Although there are many things that contribute to good content, the most crucial aspect is relevance!

I like how you outlined how important content is for SEO, as Prof Sweet emphasized that pretty heavily. I agree the relevancy is the most crucial for sure.
The emphasis on making content for the user is so important. I imagine though it might be difficult to not write mechanically after posting for an extended period of time, but if you keep it relevant that will help keep it fresh
I enjoyed this blog post. It’s clear that relevance and quality are key when it comes to content for SEO. Writing naturally for users and focusing on what they’re searching for makes all the difference.
content= relevance. I always thought of content as another way to make more places to stuff keywords, but that doesnt make for very good content. When the content is User First focused the writing is better, answers the right questions, and makes the user satisfied. This Means that your site was relevant to the user’s search query. so when writing for users its about keyword intent not keyword stuffing
