Most Search Engine Optimization experts tend to agree that content is king on the web. But this simple catch-phrase can be misleading. It should really be 'fresh content' is king. Providing original content is a way to avoid having to find cheap web traffic because it will eventually generate traffic for free.

A simple technique to avoid providing duplicate content is to re-write parts of the original and include some of your own custom content. Another is to regularly replace older articles on your site with fresh ones. This does require some effort, but you can find scripts that can assist in both finding articles and automatically replacing older ones on a schedule.

However, the best way to ensure that your content is original is to write it yourself. This is the kind of content that search engines love.

However, many people feel intimidated by a blank sheet of paper (or these days a blank word processor document). Nevertheless, there are some tricks to make the process less painful.

The topic you pick is critical. If it is something you are knowledgeable about writing it will be easier. If you have a passion for the topic this is even better. When you begin to write make sure the first copy you are writing is for yourself only. In other words, write a quick draft without worrying about the final copy or what others might think. Editing comes later.

If you just write what comes to mind you should find that before long you will have plenty of content. This is when you can come back and edit to make it fit to publish. A key here is to think about what the target audience would find useful.

One of the nice things about the web is that people only like to read screen-size chunks rather than long essays so we are only talking about 300-500 words!

Publishing your work can improve your credibility. There are many article directories which can help get your work noticed. On the other hand, you may just want to only publish on your own site to ensure it remains totally original.

After you have published your first piece of work you will see that the process isn't as frightening as you first thought. Soon you will be able to compose lots of fresh interesting content that both the search engines and your visitors will love.
