The phrase “content is king” is one that every SEO specialist has drilled into their head. However, many webmasters, and even SEO engineers, don’t realize how broad the term “content” can be. Here are five great types of content that you can use to drive more traffic to your site.

5. Value based written content.

Written work is what most people think of when they hear the word “content,” but it should be clarified that written content comes in many forms. If you really want to snag traffic, it’s important to provide something valuable with your writing, rather than useless self-promotion. This can be done in the form of informational articles and essays, tips and tricks that are relevant to your subject matter, and how to guides, for a starter.

4. Podcasts.

Podcasts are surprisingly easy to put together, especially with the increased availability of sound editing software, including the open source freeware known as Audacity. Creating your own information filled podcasts and conducting interviews with experts in your industry are just two great podcasting options.

3. Pretty pictures.

We all love pretty pictures, and if you’re willing to put together image galleries, you’ll have a leg up on the competition. You will get the most advantage out of having original, high-quality images here. Whatever images you include, be sure to look at appropriate search media optimization practices.

2. Social content.

Rather than trying to create the content yourself all the time, you can always create a place where others can add content of their own. Discussion boards, forums, web groups, and blog entries that ask for reader contributions in the comment sections are just the tip of the ice berg when it comes to socially generated content.

1. Videos.

Webcams are shockingly affordable, and all windows systems come with Windows Movie Maker, while Macintosh comes with much more shiny video editing software. In other words, it’s easy to get all the tools you need in order to make a fully original video that provides unique content to the internet. This media can be placed both directly on your site and used as a marketing tools on video websites.
