Why do you write new content? Because you want to attract a lot more readers to your site or blog, and secondly, because you probaly want to get some more links to your website.

Creating new content simply to obtain links cuts both ways. This tactic can work sometimes;but sometimes it can totally fail. Some will appreciate your content,very few people will link. Content created for search engine optimization purposes only can often seem artificial and may not bring you a link you were looking for. Yes, it can help the website ranking for a while but it won’t be a long lasting success in my experience.

Adding new content just because you have to and not because you want to build a quality site is the downfall of most startup blogs and websites.

A post with some good content will favor the search engine rankings while bad content will hurt it.

The big secret is to write to attract more readers and not links. More readers, more chances to get links. Write quality content for your visitors and you’ll be rewarded. Many will return and some will link.
