SEO Content – Text optimization by text expansion or re-writing?

Text optimization

When a website is going to be optimized for Google and other search engines the text passages on the individual pages are especially important. They have to namely demonstrate to Google the value they offer users. In many cases these texts already exist. Often though their content is too lean, as Google loves copy with depth. So the question arises: is it better to enhance these texts (text optimization), or start over and write new ones? After all a copy overhaul can be done more cost-effectively than having a completely new article written. We’ll take a look at whether that is true, and when which approach makes the most sense.

Create your own group of participants from our crowd

Creating participant groups at clickworker

 

On our marketplace, you can create any number of Clickworker groups through the menu item Participant Groups “Internal”. These groups can then be selected (invited) or excluded (blocked) as participants during the order process.

 

Usage of Participant Groups

Creating a Group of Authors

A group of writers can be effectively formed from authors/Clickworkers whose previous work you found particularly impressive. This allows you to direct subsequent orders specifically to Clickworkers from your author group. This way, you can better control the results and optimize them according to your expectations.

Similarly, it can be helpful to specifically exclude certain author groups. For example, you can block authors whose style or thematic focus doesn’t match your requirements. This ensures that your orders are only processed by suitable Clickworkers.

Use of images and videos on websites

Use of images and videos on websites

Photos, graphics and videos make up an integral component of today’s successful websites. Whether a company’s internet presence, an online store, or a portal for a gallery, museum or travel agency, the use of images and videos on websites effectively support the provided content and significantly enhance these websites for both users and search engines.

Creating Online Lexica and Online Glossaries

Online Glossaries

Corporate identity, crossmedia and workflow, resilience and synergy – the language of the modern world teems with Anglicisms, buzzwords and special terms whose meaning is not immediately clear to everyone. Online lexica and online glossary texts can provide relief where internet surfers or media users are in danger of getting lost in the jungle of foreign words and digital tech jargon.

Online lexica and glossaries simply and concisely explain a subject’s complicated terms and in this way make the issue being discussed understandable for a wider audience. Online lexica, as a separate electronic database, provide the user systematically organized, general or specialized information that is as comprehensive as possible. On the other hand, online glossary texts are attachments (so-called addendums) to a blog or website, that further define the central technical terms used in the article by providing synonyms, translations or explanatory sentences.
Today’s printed or digital glossaries consist of lists of terms and their explanations, usually arranged in alphabetical order. Their origin goes back to antiquity where it was common to use marginal notes (so-called glosses) to facilitate the reading of written works. The most well-known online lexicon, available in various language versions, is offered by the free-licensed encyclopedia Wikipedia, which is compiled by many co-authors.
