Content writing for the Web might not look too tough, but I promise you it is harder than it looks. Anybody and everybody can write - you learn how to do that in grade school. The problem is not everybody can write well. To hopefully put you back on the right track I thought I would share with you a handful of tips that pros use when doing any sort of web site content writing.

Keywords are important to toss into general web site content, but don’t flood your one or two paragraphs to the point I can’t really understand what you are saying. For an example, I’d have to get onto the Corfun.com web site team if I saw this:

When writing, get to the point. Fluff is good for some things, but not all things. You have to remember that reading on the Web is a entirely different beast than writing a book or even for a magazine. You have to give me the short version and keep my interest.

Focus on your strong points. Now this would go for bloggers more so than your general web site content writers. Make sure that you are watching your web site stats to see which of your posts are popular and which didn’t do so well. With the popular ones, try to re-create that magic without copying yourself. Writing for an audience is much more demanding because you have to do your best to see what they like and what they did not like. Write for them, and not for yourself.
