Content being considered as king in the field of search engine optimisation has given it both an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage of which is that content can be used to help the SEO campaign of the target website. The disadvantage of which is brought about by the fact that there are a lot of websites out there which need content and some unscrupulous people are taking advantage of this need by providing so-called duplicate contents for a fee. These so-called duplicate contents however would prove to be a lot more disadvantageous than advantageous to the search engine results page ranking of the target website. Throughout the years these unscrupulous people have been able to develop some strategies to duplicate contents and there may also be instances where a website developer may not be aware that he or she may have already been using duplicate contents. This is why it is important for an SEO company and an SEO consultant to be guided on the different ways of making a duplicate content. The first type of duplicate content is the act of site mirroring. This is a type of duplication that is going to have a negative effect on your website by having it banned by the search engines. Site mirroring is the act of keeping more than one copy of the exact website which is hosted and or found in different hosts or places over the internet.

The second type of content duplication is reprints, this is the use of a single content and publishing such content into different multiple sites with the permission of the content owner. This is the type of content that is being posted in the website with the aim of gaining backlinks. The third type of content duplication is content scraping, this type of content duplication is done by taking a content from one website and then using such content on another website with an introduction of some changes on such content.

There are several elements for a content to be competitive, this competitive characteristic of a content could contribute to the increase number of visitors in a website apart from the fact that these contents would also help increase the ranking of a website in terms of the search engine results page ranking. Creating content for contents’ sake is not enough an SEO company and SEO consultant is required to develop the websites’ content in such a manner that the content would be noticed by readers or visitors of the website. First thing that an SEO company or an SEO consultant should do when developing the content is to first identify the target audience of the website in general. Knowing who your content is going to talk to  is going to help you determine the writing style that you should use in writing your content.

After identifying the target audience an SEO consultant and an SEO company must write the content in such a manner that the content would entice visitors to return to the website. This is achieved by keeping your information or content fresh and updated. A blog post a day would keep your visitors remember your website and that it is because of this that they are able to return to your website. Compared to a monthly update of the content where visitors would only remember you on a case to case basis rather than memorising your site due to frequent visits as brought about by the fresh updates on your site.

Content that is going to be built or developed by the SEO company or by the SEO consultant should be contextually relevant with the website and its other contents as a whole. This is not only for human visitors but also for the search engine crawlers which takes relevance into great consideration.

After establishing the fact that Content is indeed a very important part of any website it would be prudent for an SEO company and an SEO consultant to know the different types of contents and what to use in terms of its specific purposes. Content is considered king because of the fact that content have been utilised to contain different information that both the human visitor and web crawlers need. For the human visitors the knowledge shared through the text or document is one of the best or most important reason for content being king. On the other hand for a web crawler or an SEO company or an SEO consultant content is very important because it serves as an avenue for the SEO company and SEO consultant to insert the different chosen keywords by such SEO company or SEO consultant. These keywords are going to be utilised as the indexing category for the said website. There are several types of contents that are available over the internet it is important that SEO companies and SEO consultants are able to identify such types in order to utilise the best content for your website.

The first type of content is an original content, an original content is considered to be a unique content. These original content may be distributed to other websites in order to get backlinks towards your website or it can also be freely distributed by visitors to your website or an original content may also be considered as an exclusive content on your website.

The second type of content is the licensed content, these types of contents are those that are normally bought from a content broker, this is done whenever an SEO company or an SEO consultant would like to populate their target website with contents. The only downside to this type of content is that since it is widely sold or distributed you may not be the only one who is using such content and there is a big possibility of the presence of duplicate contents. Dynamic content on the other hand are contents that could either be classified as original and licensed this type of content is commonly found in blogs.

Continuing on from a previous post about page speed, anything built in PHP beyond something simple should be class based to prevent duplication of code and keep your web pages  as small as possible.

But what are PHP Classes?

Well PHP Classes ventures into the OOP area (That’s Object Orientated Programming) and a class is a collection of functions, variables and general behavior depending on your class structure.

This is an example of a PHP class.

//mordor.php
class my_precious
{
         public static function mordor($ring = null)
         {
                   if($ring !== 'ring') return "Well... Where's the ring? I don't want your {$ring}";
                   else return 'Well... That\'s all evil taken care of... Gratz';
         }
}

So as you can see, its fairly simple to do. Really its just keeping your code in one collated name space, without the above code being in a class the most efficient way to deal with that would be to build a whole line of if and else statements to capture any data on any page you wanted to display your Mordor paddy.

Of course when you’re building massive projects classes may seem a lot more efficient but the above code was a syntax example. To use the above code, all you need on any page is the below code.

require 'mordor.php';
echo my_precious::mordor('Cheese and ham Toastie');

Which we’ll all agree is a lot less hassle than writing a script and copy and pasting it all over every page you want the validation/script to run on. Having to only put 2 lines of code into a page will keep your page sizes down and involves a lot less on page server action with if and else statements littered everywhere to catch and modify data in and out of the page.

While procedural code may have some advantages for building a website with PHP, unless its a single query and including an entire class and its children is entirely arbitrary PHP Classes are the way to go forwards.

Happy coding!
