Why Does Text Based Content Blog Become Essential?

It is a fact on the web, especially in blogging that blogging is a self-expression. However, it is necessary also to be truly understood, a self-expression does not mean that a blogger must publish any type of content as he wants. Why?, Because text-based content for a blog is the most essential.

Previously, please forgive if you are a typical blogger who likes to publish a variety of media, like video, mp3 and others. Besides, this article is more intended for bloggers who love to write, want their blog more google-friendly and eager to be AdSense publishers.

And, why does the text-based content becomes very essential for a blog?

1. Google prefer a blog with text based content. That is, the more text-based content in a blog, the blog will have more chances to be crawled and indexed by googlebots. In addition, the media or forms that are most relevant and suitable for an information on the web is text. With text-based, the content is also more easy to be updated. Even if a blog has a non text-based content, e.g image, it must use the "ALT" attribute that contains relevant keywords. If not, then the image will be useless because not readable by googlebots, no matter how important the information implied or contained in that image.
   If this happens, it would be a waste of time and energy of a blogger, because the substance of the blog's content is the information searched and needed by the user, and Google, until today is still the best search engine for information on the internet. Similarly, with almost all types of robots on the web that is to read the text (based content).
2. By knowing that the information would (only) be distributed to all internet users is caused by text-based content, so bloggers can not avoid to have to write. Where in fact, writing is the substance of blogging. Indeed it is becoming a bit backwards from the theory, but it becomes substantial because when a blogger does not know or has not known on how a text-based content becomes essential, then he will never learn to write for his blog.
3. A text-based content blog is having the capacity of lightweight, so it will be faster to be loaded by the browser. Because after all, internet users would prefer a blog page which is fast to load. Otherwise, they will leave the blog.
4. Google AdSense is a program runs by bot's crawling on all pages of text-based content, since AdSense is an innovation from Google search. But this does not mean that a blog should participate in Google AdSense, but again as well, the web facts prove that the existence of Google AdSense is very powerful, important and influential. Or let's say, something big on the web, so that at the same time a text-based content blog is becoming essential.

Blog Content And Blog Template, Which One Is More Important?

Surely, you ever asked yourself about one thing, whether conscious or unconscious, whether directly or indirectly. This question is: Which is more important, a blog template or a blog content?.

At the time that question came in your mind, at least you can already feel a little sign that blogging is a learning process. In the past, when you start blogging for the very first time, it is very likely that you would prefer blog content, or to say, you prefer to sell your own words, which then produce texts in your articles.

Why so?, Because indeed and basically, blogging is an online activity, facilitated by a page on web, which aims to express ideas, thoughts and opinions you have. Thus, media or format that is suitable for a blog's content is text. So it was true, when someone says that a blog is like an online diary and it is more personal.

As a real world that has a dynamic, then blogging is same as well. This dynamic is then lead to a shifting of intrinsic meaning of blogging. You can see this fact from many blogs on web that publish videos, images, songs and the like, or they that are not text-based content, words or thoughts. However, this fact is still more fair and reasonable, when compared with blogs that rely on templates. That is, videos, images, songs and the like, is still more expressive and informative than a blog template.

Let's review about blog template; It must be recognized that a good blog template is it is a must for a blogger. But lest, a blog template to be number one priority. Even if a blogger should create and design his blog template, then he's doing it is to aim for convenience of readers or users in seeking useful information from his blog (content). Or, to make it SEO-friendly feel (read: fast in loading).

You certainly often or ever find blogs on web is wrong in terms of how to manage. These blogs use templates that are very good as a big website. But when you read content in it, its blog content is not worthy enough to how cool the blog template. In addition, there are also many blogs with excessive template, for example: using a heavy background image to be loaded, too many columns, too dark background so texts are difficult to read and much more. The bad effect of this is only one, organic or regular reader will leave the blog.

Conversely, when there is a blog with a rather bad template, but it contains quality content and is accordant to what information searched by user, then it is probable that reader will come back to the blog. That is, content quality of a blog, especially in text-based, should be prioritized ahead of a blog template. And do not let happen, trying to divert reader's attention from blog content to blog template. All ethical bloggers know, Content is King, while Blog Template is just a servant of the king.

Closely Linkage Between Google Mission And Blog Content

Reputation of a big company is usually reflected in the vision and mission. Vision and mission itself, become a foothold for the company in order to walk on the right track in achieving its objectives. Furthermore, company or corporate strategy both big and small, should refer to the vision and mission. Strategy, specifically, can also be embodied in company motto, meaning of company name, company symbol, and even included in the description of company's mission.

One company that has a great reputation is Google. Google, in addition to their sophisticated technology, also has a powerful mission, namely: to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible and useful. It must be admitted that this is a very strategic mission and have a long-term value.

For bloggers, given that they would not want to deal with Google, should be able to intelligently understand on what the substance of this Google's mission. Because Google mission is implicit in all of its products and services.

Next, just quote three important words on Google mission and understand it in depth, then apply its substantial meaning each time you make an article in order to build a strong blog content and inter-related. Those three important words are:

1. Information
2. Universally accessible
3. Useful

Three important words mentioned above, has a very strong correlation between each other.

Three Important Aspects To Be Held On A Blog Content

Let's examine the substantive meaning of three important words above:

1. Simply, Information is anything that can give or add to one's knowledge. Thus, information can be either (in terms of blogging) a word, text, video and image, which when dissected would have data in it. This data was able to assess whether the information is measurable or not measurable. Furthermore, an information which has a lot of (accurate) data, so-called informative. By relevant, an informative information, it would be useful (no.3).
2. Universally accessible. These are two words, whose meaning is very easy to understand. Universal can be defined as all human beings in the world, especially for all kinds of ages. While accessible could mean easily obtained. If it is associated and combined with information, then this becomes a fundamental aspect that must be owned by a blogger, namely, should be able to provide information, which is easily obtained by users from around the world (and especially for all ages). For example, when a blog's content is about the courtship between a girl and a boy, then this could be categorized as, not universally accessible optimally.
3. Useful. This is the easiest word to understand both the meaning and substance. Although it is easy to understand, but the word useful actually has a broader context. Nevertheless, there is an indicator or a sign, when an information is useful, namely, information accuracy. An example is when there is a user who searches information about: Which countries use English as its official language?. When there is a blog's article that proportionally, no more no less, providing or answer to that question, then the blog's article is Accurate. That's when the user is entitled to assess and judge a blog, whether useful or not.

In essence, for a blogger who aspire to have blog content that contains three important words as contained in Google's mission, then the blogger must be diligent and patient. Noting also that blogging can be defined as an activity to enrich the information on world wide web.

A Blog Content Is To Enrich Information On World Wide Web

Previously, the following article is more intended for bloggers who will be blogging in order to enrich the information on world wide web. It is about blog content.

As for the very first time someone will be blogging, so he or she made fascinated by one thing, that is, self publication internationally. Feeling happy, that's for sure. How not?, a Newbie blogger, in turn, will interact with all bloggers in the world with different backgrounds. New friends and new experiences, this is one of advantages gained by a newbie blogger.

For those newbie bloggers who are included in a group of "blogging just for fun", this may be protracted. But for newbie bloggers who are more oriented (or can be read: in order to enrich the information on world wide web), then they should start to learn more, not just for new friends and new experiences. In this case, determine a niche, or topic, or more broadly, the blog content.

Furthermore, for newbie bloggers who have a high desire to become one of information providers on the web, then thinking, considering and determining a blog content is very essential. There is an idiom that strongly implies the substance meaning of determining blog content, read this: "Blogging is to enrich the information on the web with a big new document."

A Blog Content Is To Enrich Information On World Wide Web

Just give an underline in the phrase: a big new document. The word "new" in this phrase, has a very important meaning. This means that blog content that you write and build, should be different from others that have been published on the web. This also means that you have to create blog content which is truly original and unique. Even if there are other similar content on the web, but if you write with your own words, then it will have a different substance of information and nuance. And readers or users surely know its differences.

While the word "big" means that blog content is substantial in quantity and quality, especially for aspects of quality, what's meant here is its accuracy and relevance. This can be exemplified on a blog that has more than 20 posts for each label. If there are 5 labels in that blog, then there will be more than 100 posts. And in those 20 posts were also built inbound links (which also reflect its post relevances). So this will have a very close relationship.

As an illustration, If blog content has a topic of, for instance, A, then the labels is AB, AC and so on. Furthermore, the single posts is ABC, ABD and so on. And between the post of ABC and ABD, each have backlinks one to another under the label of AB. From all these examples, A is a topic that made and explored as blog content. If all those blog posts printed, it will generate a lot of pages, which if then compiled and bound, will become a new book, or a big new document.

As an author who wrote a book for many years with great patience and perseverance, then a blogger is just same.
