Websites need content and lots of it. Even more and more. One thing I notice, over and over again, is that 99% of the websites I see do not have enough content. More content with proper internal links, can raise your ranking more than any single other action that you do.
Since you must write lots of content, why not make it exciting? Or at least have a point of view. Death to Political Correctness!
The other thing I see over and over again is boring content. Writing without a point or worse, without a unique way of expression – well it's boring.
"Welcome to our website. We don't know what to say and we're ignoring how this intertubes thing works, so we're happy to shyly share our brochure site (that was out of date in 1999.) Thank Yew." Yeesh!
Seriously, how do you respond when you see one of these? "Yawn. Let's see, who else has a website in this business niche?" Click.
"The firsta rule of website writing isa — Doughna Be Boring!" (Little "Gumball Rally" oblique reference there…)
Megan Slick over at SEO Scoop just wrote a sweet little article that frames this important content topic into perspective. Her spin is about consistency – which is very important.
I apologize for my anti-boredom rant. God knows I subject my poor readers to drivel, more often than not.

Blogging can seem like the loneliest thing, sometimes. Here I am, baring my soul for the world to see and "sniff" no one gives a crap! Ben Parr has a fine post on Mashable about the Top 20 Ways to Share a Great Blog Post.
Ben framed his post as a way to share great posts that you find. Okey Dokey.
However, what if your own great posts are languishing in obscurity? I think the 20 ways he shares are fair game to promote your own high quality posts and get a little action, traffic, and comment love. Let's face it, none of us wants to toil on in obscurity. I aspire to be a famous guy, that nobody knows! Heh heh.
Now here's a tip that I often forget myself. There are 99 comments on his post. In those comments are probably 20 or more great ways to share your blog posts with the world. Take the time to read them and note what additional ways might help your posts get some readership.
We all have a useful voice. Yes even you and me, and just cause we've (you've) hidden (y)our genius under (y)our insecurity don't mean it has to stay that way… Blog loud and proud baby!
