Adding Useful Resources Can Be A Quick & Easy Way Of Building Content

A useful section of genuine content to help your visitors

A quick and easy way of adding content to a site is to create a resources list.

This can be anything from a simple list of appropriate web sites to a full-blown directory including mini-reviews of each of the sites listed.

You could also include reviews of products or services related to the niche in question.

The great thing about writing about other resources is that it's very easy content to write. You are simply reporting features (and your thoughts on them, perhaps) of another site; some software; a book - anything relevant really.

Written well, this can be of genuine value to your visitors - you may have a great deal of knowledge within your site's subject area, and if you can share your knowledge and ideas through a resources list it is likely to be of real interest to your site's visitors, since they are likely to be interested in that same subject area.

It's important to remember that it is not essential to build the 'ultimate resource' right from the start. It is far better to start of with just a handful of entries and from time-to-time add a few more to the list. This is a task you can put in your diary so that you are reminded to visit the site once a month and add a set number of new resources. If you only add three new resources each month that will be thirty-six resources a year. Google likes sites which are updated regularly, and resource pages are a logical way of doing just that.

• Web Sites
  
  Adding a list of useful web sites and be a quick and easy way of generating a content rich page that will be useful to visitors, but that should also rank well in the search engines if the sites are appropriate and the descriptions you enter for the sites make use of your chosen keywords and phrases.
• Products
  
  If the site you are creating relates to a certain product category, e.g. children's toys, why not include a list of appropriate products. This could be a single page or it could be a collection of sub-pages with a main index page.
• Services
  
  If your site relates to an industry that has various service providers why not create a page or several pages relating to the key players within the market place.
• People
  
  You might want to include a page listing several of the key players within the market place. Not all niches will allow this, but if your niche does then it can help you to generate more content quickly and easily.
