Good vs. Bad Writing Website

The two articles, Claremont McKenna College: How you will change the world with social networking and How to Create Compelling Content that Ranks Well in Search Engines, express ideas about different aspects of websites and how to make a good impression through them. The focus of, How to Create Compelling Content that Ranks Well in Search Engines (http://scribeseo.com/seo-copywriting/) , revolves around optimizing pages in ways to make them more popular and user friendly. This article focuses on ways to make a website easy to find, while at the same time making sure it has what the reader needs so that they are satisfied. Everything basically centers on the idea of “spoon feeding” the person who is browsing the Internet. One of the most important aspects of the website is having keywords that are mention not only in the title but frequently throughout the website; however, they have to be backed up by links that are relevant. If a website is seen to have weak content then that website may not be trusted. Ways to make a website popular and successful is to make sure of five things. One is to make sure the title contains keywords to make the search more optimized. Two to have a “meta-description” which should summarize the page within 165-character limit. Three is to make sure the content is on topic and contains strong arguments with a minimum of 300 characters. Four, is to have a good frequency of how many times the keyword is used throughout the page. Last but not least five, which requires containing, links to connect to other pages within the same subject matter. InClaremont McKenna College: How you will change the world with social networking(http://www.deannazandt.com/presentations/claremont-mckenna-college-how-you-will-change-the-world-with-social-networking/) emphasizes on social networks benefits in society. Everybody is connected to each other through the Internet but it is the way we present ourselves on the, which is what really matters. Now in days, the Internet has become a way to expand on businesses, promote one and communicate with people. The use of social networks has increased dramatically where now we see not only the younger generation using these websites but even the older generations becoming of use because these networks are good if you know how to use them properly. Privacy is something that needs to be monitored to make sure that what is put online does not affect a person’s life professionally. These networks shape yourself and how you are viewed in society.

A good writing website can behttp://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilightseries.html. This is the website of the Twilight Saga books. If “Twilight Books” is entered into Google, this is the first website that appears and when the link is pressed we automatically see the site of the books with links tightly organized in a way that is easy to find that connect us to the information on these books. The website is strictly centered around the Twilight books and the author resulting in good website. An example of another good website is http://www.imdb.com. This website is focused on finding certain actors and films using the keywords put into the search box. Once the desired person or film is found then the content only focuses around that and nothing else but also contains links that connect that film to its actors or the actor to their other films. All these factors lead this website to be trust worthy, helpful, informative, easy to use and popular.

A bad writing websites can be http://www.creativekidscenter.net/ andhttp://beatsbydre.com/ in which these website is used to promote but on the page there is no “meta-description” and no content description or summaries of the item on the main page; therefore, these websites can not be seen as good writing websites when there is little to no writing content at all.
