Page Content

The content on your website's pages — the visitor-facing text — plays an important role in search engine optimization. Search engines might use snippets of text from your page if it doesn't contain a description tag, or in some situations the search engine might display page content that is more relevant to a user's search. See How Search Engines Use It for an example. In addition to being well-written and informative, your content should also:

• * Use page keywords often
• * Be updated frequently (at least once every few weeks)
• * Include between 300 and 700 words
• * Contain original material that isn't duplicated across multiple pages
• * Avoid long blocks of text (1-4 sentences per paragraph, ideally)
• * Favor shorter sentences (10 words or fewer)
• * Incorporate both bulleted (unordered) and numbered (ordered) lists, where appropriate

Also, it's always a good idea to check your text's spelling and grammar.
