Maintaining Digital Content For Effective SEO
Google has, in recent years, updated to their search algorithms resulting in many companies being ‘knocked off’ the web, so to speak. Google implemented tighter guidelines for website optimisation and in the grand scheme of things is actually making the web a better place. By taking into account the content of a website, the frequency that this content is updated while disregarding a lot of the links to and from other sites (these in the past could just be fake directories), Google is trying to make sure you are being shown what you are searching for, not a whole website dedicated to cat photography…unless that’s what you’re into. And by content, we mean having social media sites, electronic mail campaigns, a blog and continuously updated website copy.How To Keep Your Content SEO-friendly
