As much as I think the internet community needs to read my op-ed pieces, however, I recognize that in order to make my SEO content interesting, useful&#8211;and therefore worthy of reading and sharing with others&#8211;it needs to be heavy-laden with facts, statistics, and perhaps even a chart or two thrown in.<\/p>\n<p>Using proven facts in your page copy doesn&#8217;t have to be boring, however. In fact, boring content will quickly fade into the abyss of the internet, factual or not. It&#8217;s important to use facts and charts as just one means of creating enjoyable SEO content. You want your readers to feel as if what you say has merit; but you don&#8217;t want them to feel as if they have been forced to read through an academic journal to prepare for a final exam.<\/p>\n<p>So, how can you successfully use pertinent facts without becoming tedious? It&#8217;s simple. Find some unique information that the common reader&#8211;perhaps even one who is not regularly involved in your industry&#8211;will find interesting. For example, the following chart is a stunning display of the current state of American Health:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i303.photobucket.com\/albums\/nn125\/LufkinWriter\/obesitystates.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Besides causing you to immediately gauge how obese you are in relation to the rest of your state (and, I admit, my home state is one of the least healthy&#8230;), how else could you work in this information?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>A sporting goods company could write an article on the overall poor health of Americans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>A gym could create page content encouraging people in their state to lose weight through daily exercise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li>A local tourism agency could tout the healthiness of their state and promote local outdoors activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>A Christian publishing company could lament the fact that the least healthy states are found along the Bible Belt region<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This is just one example of how <a href=\"http:\/\/www.directoryone.com\/articles\/tips-for-writing-website-copy.htm\">excellent content is easy to create<\/a>, once you have found a core piece of information to work around. Looking through governmental sites for current information is a great place to start. Not only will you be able to find an endless source of inspiration for page content, but you will also become a walking source of random trivia information&#8211;which means you will be able to hold an interesting conversation at even the lamest dinner party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Author: April Hall Internet Copywriter So, I&#8217;m a girl who loves to gab.
