If you are regularly writing on Triond, you must be familiar with the popular saying “content is king”. It tells you the importance of quality content. Yes, writing quality content is very important, there is no doubt about it. But, can quality content draw huge traffic to your article? Please continue reading ……

So, what is quality content? The content should be absolutely original. It should make good sense. It should be easily understandable. It should have useful information to the readers. I have seen some good Triond writers creating top quality content that don’t attract enough readers. I think we need to stop here a little while and do a research and find out why some quality content blogs can’t attract huge traffic.

If your content is for a smaller audience: If your content is suitable for a smaller audience, it can’t draw huge traffic. For example, if I write a quality content about “Courtallam falls” on Triond, my article will not attract huge readers. Courtallam falls is in South India and it may not grab the interest of the global audience. However if I still want to write about it, I can give a title “Is Courtallam the Niagara of India?” I can add some interesting information about Niagara along with some wonderful pictures of Niagara so that my readers may find the article interesting.

If you don’t Optimize SEO: It’s not enough if you just write quality content on your blog. You need to optimize the content for the search engines as well. You should have to give a catchy title with powerful keywords and use effective keywords in your content so that your article will become search engines friendly and easily visible in all popular search engines.

If you don’t Promote your articles: If you want to write and earn, writing a quality article is only 50% of work done. You will have to promote your article effectively. You should share your articles with popular social sites such as Twitter, FaceBook, Digg, Stumble Upon, Delicious, Reddit, MySpace, Orkut, Google buzz, Technorati and Linkedin. You can comment on other relevant blogs and give links to your article.

If you don’t Know your audience: If you write for Triond, you will have to give importance to the taste of Triond audience, though you are originally writing for the global audience.

If you Write for money alone: As an online writer you can focus on making money. You can write for money but not for money alone. Write for providing some useful information to your readers. Write with passion and for fun.

Summary: Content is king. However quality content may not draw huge traffic. You need to write for both your readers and the search engines. Write with passion for the global audience. Write quality articles regularly and promote them optimally. Your articles will attract huge and quality traffic. Needless to say that your Google ad sense earnings will increase significantly over time. Thanks for reading.
