Website Design Tips For A More Reader Friendly Site

One of my favorite things I like to do when I’m online is browse the Internet, and check out other marketing websites. I’m an avid reader, so when I come across a well-designed website that appears to have an abundance of quality content, I’ll usually spend a few minutes on the site reading that content. And if the site provides a pleasant reader experience, I’ll bookmark it and visit it again.

Using Strong Keywords

Of all the important parts of creating excellent content, using strong, keyword-rich content is among the most important. Keywords, links and site visits help searchers find your content and website. Without strong keywords your potential visitors won’t find you. If you are not using the same ones in your content and meta tags that searchers use when they begin their search in Google, Bing, or other search engines, your site will not show up in the search results.
