The importance of high-quality content for SEO?

What is the importance of high-quality content for SEO?

Does it play an important role in SEO if you have quality unique content for your blog articles or websites?

Please share your thoughts.

I believe that high quality unique content does play an important role in everything. SEO, back linking, traffic. If you are just copying and pasting content, posting irrelevant content, or low quality posts, you are not going to get ranked as easily or quickly. As well as your traffic could be low, not targeted, or hard to convert.

High quality content is extremely important in my mind

Hi Harry,
Yes, definitely quality and unique content plays a very great role in your website rankings and all. Google will demote your website, blog, articles from search engines if your content is copied / paste content from other sites. So always make sure that you never copy contents from other website write your own content and unique one by which readers will be attracted towards your products / brands.

Absolutely yes the content is still the king in the internet marketing world and it plays an important role when it comes to optimize your website for search engines as well as for your visitors.

As in my experience, the most two important things that you should focus on are:

Creating quality and fresh content on your websites
Build your email list (the money is in the list)

Thanks
Omar

High quality content is one of the key factors for SEO success. Here is how,

=> Bounce rate is now one of the important factor for SEO. High quality content always have less bounce rate, which can improve SEO rank.

=> High quality content always get more social shares. Social shares help in SEO in both ways, direct and indirect.

=> High quality content increase page viewing time, which is also an important SEO factor.

=> High quality content ensure repeated visitor, which is another way of getting authority. And google focus on authority, author site always gets good ranking. Forbes is a live example of it.

How in the world would Google use bounce rate as a ranking factor when Google has no idea what the bounce rate is on the majority of webpages in existence. Most webpages are not using Google Analytics and do not have AdSense displayed, so Google has no access to that data.

=> High quality content always get more social shares. Social shares help in SEO in both ways, direct and indirect.

First, no it doesn't. That is entirely niche specific. There are plenty of niches that really are not socially active. Second, social shares are not a ranking factor.

=> High quality content increase page viewing time, which is also an important SEO factor.

Again, Google does not have access to this data on the majority of webpages, so no, it is not a ranking factor.

=> High quality content ensure repeated visitor, which is another way of getting authority. And google focus on authority, author site always gets good ranking. Forbes is a live example of it.

It does not ensure repeat visitors. If I am looking to the answer to something, and I find it, there is no guarantee that I am going to return to that webpage or website ever again. I might be searching for information on how to replace a toilet. Once I find the info I am looking for and replace my toilet, I'm never going back to that webpage again, no matter how good it was.

Your content must be what people are searching for the most. For example if you use a keyword which has a high search volume, make sure to write some about it in your content and provide some internal links as it's name.

I have experienced that quality content works but not fully, you also require some link building and marketing for your site.

Yes. I second. Though creating content is very relevant to your website, you should always be lending time in sharing those. That way, you are doing marketing and building links.

If you create a quality content then chances are people will find your page interesting, and at the same time it will drive more traffic on your website. Content is one of the things that google considered to determine the ranking of your website.

The importance of high quality content is very much important from SEO prespective not only for your website but also for the blogs or any other articles you pen down .Content is king.More relevant the content is the more user it will attract to your website and blog. It would also help in link building which is another important part of Seo .Create content for the user and not the search engines.Update your blog and bring fresh content you will surely be in google's good books.

Content, is ultimately what every user is searching for – in some form or another. It may be video, articles, wikis, blogs, or other social media, but it is all content, and the more of it you have, the bigger your slice of the Google pie will be.
