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.

• News Release 1
  
  For some niches you will find that there is an abundance of free press releases available. This is particularly true of the technology industry, but many other market places also generate significant volumes of news.
• News Release 2
  
  Sometimes you will find press releases on the individual company sites, other times there will be an industry body the distributes news releases to all appropriate parties and usually they will make them freely available on their web site.
• News Release 3
  
  Usually news releases come in a format that allow you to edit them. This can be particularly useful if you want to include some of your chosen keywords and phrases. Obviously, it is not ethical to change the meaning of the press release by adding inappropriate words and phrases, but it is fine if the words and phrases you add do not change the press release to the point where it is no longer accurate.
• News Release 4
  
  In addition to using other people's news releases you can also generate your own. These can be used on your own site and also distributed to third parties via services such as prweb.com.
• News Release 5
  
  If you have a lot of news items to include it can be worth splitting them into months and have a parent page for each month with subpages underneath. This allows you to create a significant number of pages for your site with very little effort.
