There is a double-bind involved when you entertain linking to other websites.  No one wants to send people away from their site by linking to another website.  However, you wont get any links to your website if you dont create any links from your website to others.  It is important that search engines see that your website is connected to the rest of the Internet by seeing links coming to your site from other locations.

While this makes sense, sometimes it is difficult to get a handle on how to approach this task of creating perfect content that is appealing to your viewers and at the same time, attractive to the search engines. As a suggestion for organizing your thoughts about content, think of the 5 W's: Who, What, When, Where, Why. When you can answer the 5 W questions, you have covered your content needs. Let's look at the 5 W's individually.

Now we need to look at traffic generation soon. But first, let's consider what a visitor sees when they do arrive at your site. Does your site convey authority on its topic? Does it get to the point of what you do and what you offer right away? Is the navigation logical and easy to understand? Yes, we want traffic; but we want that traffic to stick around, too. Your web statistics will show where a viewer enters your website, where they exit and how long they stay. So you will be able to easily determine the success of how well-like your website it. We'll cover more on web stats in a later SEO SOS lesson. Two things are of paramount importance in your web design: 1) The first impression you make, and 2) The navigation style you use. Let's explore first impressions of a website in this lesson. We've all heard the expression, "You only get one chance to make a first impression." With the breadth and depth of the Internet, this statement couldn't be more important. Factors that impact how well your website is received include: [Read More](https://www.pcmethods.com/services/web-services/web-blog/bid/57055/your-website-s-first-impression-seo-sos-5) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://www.pcmethods.com/services/web-services/web-blog/bid/57055/your-website-s-first-impression-seo-sos-5#comments-listing) Tags: [SEO](https://www.pcmethods.com/services/web-services/web-blog/topic/seo), [Web traffic](https://www.pcmethods.com/services/web-services/web-blog/topic/web-traffic), [Website Traffic](https://www.pcmethods.com/services/web-services/web-blog/topic/website-traffic), [SERP](https://www.pcmethods.com/services/web-services/web-blog/topic/serp), [SEO Authority](https://www.pcmethods.com/services/web-services/web-blog/topic/seo-authority), [Web Optimization](https://www.pcmethods.com/services/web-services/web-blog/topic/web-optimization) [All posts](https://www.pcmethods.com/services/web-services/web-blog/all) [Next](https://www.pcmethods.com/services/web-services/web-blog/topic/seo-authority/page/2) Search this site on Google Search Google Enter your email address: Delivered by [FeedBurner](http://feedburner.google.com) - [Web Blog](https://www.pcmethods.com/services/web-services/web-blog) ### Subscribe Here!
