Comments on: content is still king … well, duh! http://www.cheezhead.com/2007/03/08/content-is-king/ Insight and opinion from the world of employment.

If you focus on the content then the traffic you want will come!” I agree that content is huge, and key to building a community of readers and participants over time, but I do think that you need to market your blog. The low hanging fruit in blog marketing is registering in Technorati and other places like that. I paid $1.99 for a service that would register the JibberJobber blog to over 30 blog engine things. I say this is low-hanging fruit because it’s easy (you just fill out a form), it’s fast, and you only have to do it once. But the value is also low — everyone can do it, and I can’t think of any benefit that I got from it. Maybe you’ve had different experiences with this, but for me it was something to do once and then not revisit. [...] [...] I have a friend who said recently “why ask others to promote your blog, digg, stumble, blog about it, etc?

We disagree just a bit. It isn’t just content that is king, it is great content that is targeted to your audience. But that great content has to contain valuable and searched for key words. You have to be smart about how you write, what you write, and the keywords for which you are trying to compete. [...] [...] Content is king, so says Joel Cheesman from the Cheezhead: Never Bleu blog.

Another option is to syndicate exclusive content from a citizen media site like www.associatedcontent.com. We generate high quality content so you don't have to. But you are right about traffic...we currently generate over 1000 articles/day and our Alexa rating has skyrocketed. Thats a great point.

I've been blogging for almost a year - Monday through Friday - and creating good content that often is... not so easy :) But it is definitely the only way I can think of to create a good readership. Now, if I could just do SEO on top I'd be hot! Good post Joel.
