What is a good content for google?

[Naghirniac]

When we start to study SEO and how google see our webpage, one important point is to have good content. But, for beginners like me, we get lost on this. Is not so black and white:

what for you is a good content?

the text amount matters?

there is any trick that all good content websites need to have?

Hy Egol,

As I write to vizergy, im totally lost about this theme. When I analyse the websites from my top keywords, none of them have good content (the #1 is an iframe website). You can create good content, but google read this? Is more important to have an trick content to looks nice or really have good content?

Im using google.com.br and my keyword is "acampamento"

The number 1 website is www.acampar.net. My website is at #12 and it is www.acampamentoaguiasdaserra.com.br

Im surprised to....if you check at opensiteexplorer, my website has more links, tweets and likes...Im almost one year fighting in this keyword, without success. And the f.... iframe website allways at first place.

Because of this, i don't see the content matter so much. Everything in the www.acampar.net is wrong, and still #1 - there is no content, low level of backlinks, terrible content, key word density low.... im a little bit lost

Interesting - Perhaps the website's age and off-page efforts (link building, social etc...) have allowed them to achieve #1 since the on-page seo is obviously under-par.  I am surprised to hear that a Framed website is ranking #1... heck, I am surprised that someone still has a Framed website...

To answer "...content to looks nice or really have good content?" I would say that is a balancing act - one gets visitors to your website and the other one keeps them there.  One is not more important than the other, in my opinion, but they work together.

Original. Worthy of tweets, likes, any type of genuine sharing.

That's a good point, Andrei but original content isn't always "good content".  You are correct that original content can help a lot - without a doubt - but originality does not make content good.

I'm kind of newbie, but I think the most important thing about the content is to be original.

You can create content with viral wanna-be, for example "10 Thinks I Love".

Any other thoughts?

Good content is informative, relevant, non-keyword stuffed and grammatically correct content that is written for human readers not bots/spiders.  If you are writing a good article, you should never have to worry about how many times your targeted terms appear, they should just happen naturally and the surrounding text will support the term(s).  Blurbs that relate more to another article or page or citations to a website where more information can be found should be used as anchor text for links to that article, page or website etc...

There is no "trick" I am aware of, as a matter of fact I would say to stay away from trying to trick the search engines at all, ever.  As far as text amount mattering, I suppose it can but you should only concern yourself with the quality of the information you are providing, when that is your goal the amount should be perfect.

I have never been asked to describe "Good Content" before; this should prove to be an interesting discussion.
