Being net-tractive
November 6th, 2009 by James
In real life, one of the major things everyone wants to know is the secret to being attractive. On the net, every business wants to know what it takes to be net-tractive.
Being attractive on the net is just as elusive and changeable as it is in the real world, but there are a few things you can do to ensure that you are at least not odious to others. Somewhat like the real world, not all of these things have to do with having a pretty appearance.
A willingness to communicate is an attractive feature in a person, and so it is in a website. Updating your content regularly makes you attractive to search engines and to viewers. Ignoring comments and refusing to give out any contact details will put people off. Also, talking only about yourself will drive people away making informative content a wise way to go for your web site, here at SEO Consult we can advise you about our Copywriting team.
Just like real life, a sloppy appearance tells others that you don’t really care about winning their approval. Allowing spelling errors or bad formatting on your site is the equivalent of turning up to work with your teeth un-brushed and your shoelaces untied. Small things, but they make a big difference to whether people take you seriously.
In the real world, people enjoy having conversations with people who are on their wavelength. On the net, this is why the choice of keywords is so important. Not only is it off-putting to read content that has a lot of unfamiliar terms, it’s hard to join in on a conversation about punk rock by talking about Beethoven. Selecting the right keywords can enable your site to slide smoothly into the conversations of the internet. Talk to your consultant at SEO Consult about the tools you can use to develop the right keywords for you.
Cloning the behaviours of your competition is never a good idea for a business, and it is especially bad for the internet. Duplicate content is a constant issue when it comes to search engine optimisation. Your content needs to be unique. While the best way to ensure SEO-friendly unique content is to engage the services of an SEO consultancy, you can ensure any content you source yourself is unique by running it through a copy-check program. There are a number of these which are free on the internet.
Of course, being pretty is part of being net-tractive. You want your site to appeal to the majority of your viewers. Don’t clutter up your pages with gaudy accessories. Going for a bold look in your design carries with it just as much risk of looking bad as it does when you wear something dashing in public. Not everyone is guaranteed to like it, but this might be just the kind of image your business is going for.
Like the real world, it is relatively easy to ensure a basic attractiveness in your presence on the web. Regular, basic maintenance in the above areas can keep you looking good. Remember that good looks take hard work.
