Can you help with quality and interesting content ideas?

Hi
I'm ranking for "online biology degree" and "online wildlife biology degree" but I have bad content and I receive almost 100% bounce rate.
Can you help me with ideas on good content and interesting information I can provide for people looking for "online wildlife biology degree" and "online biology courses" "biology degree online"
Every idea would be appreciated.

Hi Yoseph, the first question I usually ask myself when starting planning a content strategy around a keyword is - "What information would I be looking for if I entered that search term?" So, for example, someone searching for an online wildlife biology degree is probably interested in course content, structure, accreditation, price etc. Make sure you include these basic elements.
Then I'd use keyword research to help shape other content ideas (FAQs, keywords optimised around specific modules and topics etc.). Google auto-suggest in searches and the Adwords keywords tool and two basic places to start.
I'd measure the audience's response to this content carefully in Analytics - which pages are most popular; where are readers spending longest; if you have a site search, what words are readers searching for; if you have a sales funnel, whereis it leaking. This data will inform your content strategy for providing content that will match your cusomters' needs. Good luck..

I asked for good ideas how to write good content. Please.

Unforunately, if you do not know how to write good content, you'd better take a course or tutorial or something because you probably won't get to far when it comes to ranking.
You can always get ideas of others, just do not steal or spin their content.

Thanks! I sent it to you in private message

Can you share your landing page URL? I'd be more than happy to take a look!

SEO and dynamic content
I am working on a project right now and I am looking for some advice on the SEO implications. The site is an e-commerce site and on the category pages it is using an external call to retrieve the products after the page is loaded. How it works is all content on the site is loaded, then after that a js script appends an ID and loads all of the product information. I am unsure how Google will see this, anyone have any insights?

Social Media Profile and Website content dupe content issues ?
Is there a dupe content issue if your social media profiles and website have same content/copy ? For example if you have written great copy for your website home page then literally copy & paste that into your G+ co page introduction (since sums everything up perfectly and don't want to change it) would that have a negative effect or be perfectly ok ? cheers dan

"Turning off" content to a site
One site I manage has a lot of low quality content. We are in the process of improving the overall site content but we have "turned off" a large portion of our content by setting 2/3 of the posts to draft. Has anyone done this before or had experience with doing something similar? This quote from Bruce Clay comes to mind: “Where a lot of people don’t understand content factoring to this is having 100 great pages and 100 terrible pages—they average, when the quality being viewed is your website,” he explained. “So, it isn’t enough to have 100 great pages if you still have 100 terrible ones, and if you add another 100 great pages, you still have the 100 terrible ones dragging down your average. In some cases we have found that it’s much better, to improve your ranking, to actually remove or rewrite the terrible ones than add more good ones.” What are your thoughts? Thanks

Indexed iframed content behind login
Hi, I have a question regarding iframed content. I would like to get my non cms content which is served via an iframe solution (from the same domain) behind a anonymous or personal login indexed by search engines. How can we make this work? I've looked at the following solutions: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.nl/2008/10/first-click-free-for-web-search.htmlhttp://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/webmasters/l9n8oGLQRkUBut I would like the content to be crawlable deeper than the just one page (if this is possible using the iframe solution).We could also setup different new pages in our CMS with the same content...Any suggestions?Thanks!Arnout

Many thanks Richard PS I read previous threads re the subject, it sounded like there was a bug in SEOMoz but I was not absolutely clear. Apologies if this is going over old ground.

Do Blog Comments On Your Site Help SEO?
There is a lot of debate as whether or not having comments on your blog is helpful from an SEO perspective. Proponents believe that more comments (1) creates more content, which search engines love, (2) creates more relevant keywords that can be searched, and (3) helps with "freshness" of the site/content leading to greater site authority. Others like Joost de Valk believe that comments can actually hurt SEO because keyword density cannot be controlled. He argues that his top SEO content are pages not posts for this very reason. What is your opinion?

Ecommerce: content on category pages
I have to optimize some online Shops and after Panda I really don't know what to think about thin content on product overview pages anymore... used to be that we could improve our rankings easily just by adding 1-2 sentences on such a page. This always worked for non-overly competitive terms. Now It feels like it doesn't work any longer, but I couldn't put my finger on it and I don't have the resources to test. Here's an example of what I mean: http://www.geschenkidee.ch/wandtattoos/aus_aller_welt.html

I would add max. 3 lines of text directly over the product thumbnails. What do you think? Is it worth adding some text on a product overview page or do I not even have to bother post-Panda?0
