There are a number of different techniques that you can use to create content that goes “viral”, or is shared across many mediums to many audiences. This is what we are all hoping for right? To gain better SEO value for what we create on the web, and to spread our message to many different potential customers, clients, donors or contributors. Here are two opposing techniques you might want to consider…
The Manifesto
The Manifesto is the web content equivalent of “preaching to the choir”. Write a passionate, eloquent, or well-researched argument that your niche will wholeheartedly agree with. Since you’ve already got an army of believers who agree with you, they’re already primed and ready to share your argument.
Such As: “Why I’m a Vegetarian, Dammit” an essay that was posted on a vegetarian recipe blog, received over 14,000 mentions within StumbleUpon (one of the second tier social bookmarking sites) alone.

Interesting, compelling and persuasive web content is what supports the TRUE mission of your website, to improve the bottom line for your business.
Now that we have that critical, and often forgotten, point out of the way we can focus on the SEO benefits that your web content writing creates. Many people have tried to understand and explain how SEO works, but aren’t always correct in their assumptions. This can be attributed to the constantly changing nature of SEO, and which means that the article could be obsolete in a couple months, incidentally. But as of now, here are More >

Content marketing is becoming one of the most widely used forms of promotional strategies on the web today. It is cost-effective way to reach a wide audience base, yet it is not as easy as submitting a simple pay per click ad.
Content marketing is relatively cheap compared to most other options, but it requires you to invest your time, effort and a lot of patience before you can reap its returns.
