How to Write Better and Create SEO Friendly Content Too



Wazzup Pilipinas!

Writing the SEO friendly content is definitely not an easy job. Cheapcustompapers gives you more tips and tricks to improve your SEO based content writing.

1. Use headings and subtitles

The use of headlines and subtitles is important for SEO for several reasons.

First, you can quickly look through the text. So it's easier to read. People are more willing to share easy-to-read content.

The same is true for search engine robots. When walking on the page, they recognize the headers and use them to better understand the content, e.g. assess which parts are most important, etc.

Also, headers and subtitles help even saturate the page with keywords. However, remember not to abuse this option.

2. Add links to existing content

One of the ways search engine positioning is to evaluate the number of backlinks a site has.

Good content usually has a lot of backlinks - both external and internal.

If you want to direct traffic to your site and position older content better, be sure to link them in new posts.

This will help search engine robots - and users - find your best articles.

Besides, linking to high-quality good sites has a positive effect on your site's position. The better the links, the higher your position in search results.

Also, the use of reliable sources to create content inspires the trust of recipients.

3. Optimize the length of the content

Once, most blog posts had up to several hundred words. It was about numbers - the more published posts, the more traffic to the site.

It rarely happens today. Even on the GetResponse blog, you are reading, you will usually find articles with a length of 1500 words and more, published less frequently.

This is because in the last few years Google has started to give greater priority to longer, higher quality content. He wants to provide the most accurate answers possible. It often boils down to the fact that the posts are to contain the most detailed answers to questions asked by users.

It is no longer enough to write an article for 300 words. However, it is not about blurring the subject of the texts too much.

Take a look at Google Analytics reports and see which content generates the most engagement. Which are the most visited and which users read the longest? Analyze what content has the highest conversion, e.g. newsletter subscription.

And then use this information to determine the best approach that works for your industry.

4. Choose your keywords wisely

Some marketers like to just sit down and start writing. They leave SEO optimization at the end.

Others start by writing down the keywords they intend to use in the content.

I prefer the second approach.

You start by defining keywords that are relevant to the topic you're working on. You are looking for them in your head, you use a keyword planning tool available on Google or a more advanced solution like Ahrefs or SERPSTAT. Or you rent an SEO agency that will take care of everything on your behalf.

And when you start writing, use keywords in the title, header, meta descriptions, ALT tags, and the main content.

5. Optimize graphics

If you want the content to be interesting and shared, you'll need graphics. People are much more eager to buy from companies whose websites contain attractive and matching photos.

You can optimize your photos by adding keywords to image file names and creating ALT tags.

Also, make sure you optimize the image size. Too large photos will take longer to load, and this will have a bad effect on SEO.

The images should be as small as possible, but still clearly visible and of good quality. In many photo editors, you can use the built-in tools to optimize them. If you do not have such a program, Squoosh will be an alternative, a free tool with which you can resize images and compress them quickly.

6. Enable content sharing

You've managed to prepare an SEO friendly, content-rich and interesting article that readers read with pleasure. The next step is to make it available. Sites such as ShareThis or AddThis allow you to easily put social buttons on the page so that users can easily share content.

7. Create high-quality content

This should be an obvious matter, but it is not always remembered. The best way to encourage users to read and get involved is to create useful and fun content. Search engines appreciate sites with high-quality content on the right topic. Quality matters more than any other factor.

Once you have a good idea of how to write and format content, consider using one of the tools below to simplify the texts and streamline the process of creating them.

Pinoy-made Ocean Waste Collector and Dengue Mapper to Join the NASA Global Hackathon


Wazzup Pilipinas!

A deployable, autonomous ocean waste collection system utilizing space data to locate nearby garbage patches built by students from De La Salle University and an automated information portal which correlates dengue cases with real-time data from satellite, climate, and search engines won the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's International Space Apps Challenge last October 18-20, 2019 in Manila, in collaboration with the Philippine Council for Industry, Energy and Emerging Technology Research and Development of the Department of Science and Technology (DOST-PCIEERD), Animo Labs technology business incubator, PLDT InnoLab, American Corner Manila, the U.S. government, and part of the Design Week Philippines with Department of Trade and Industry-Design Center of the Philippines.

Using NASA's Ocean Surface Current Analysis Real-time (OSCAR) data to determine possible locations of ocean garbage patches using GPS, PaWiKAN uses a pair of deployable, dynamically reconfigurable boats capable of trapping and returning ocean waste back to ground. It is equipped with extended-range radio system based on LoRa technology and Arduino to communicate with sensors and controlled by a deployment station. It was developed by Lasallian electronics and communications engineering students Samantha Maxine Santos, Antonio Miguel S. Alejo, Grant Lewis Bulaong, and Janos Lance L. Tiberio of Ocean's 4, who also joined the last year's hackathon, creating a hyper-casual puzzle game utilizing images from the Hubble Space Telescope and intuitive physics concepts.

"Our global bodies of water are actually littered with plastics. This is a very futuristic solution to help get rid of plastics currently floating or submerged in global waters. It is timely and relevant solution," according to Monchito B. Ibrahim, Industry Development Committee Chairman of the Analytics Association of the Philippines and former undersecretary of the Department of Information and Communications Technology.

With 271,480 dengue cases resulting in 1,107 deaths as reported from January 1 to August 31, 2019 by the World Health Organization, the Aedes Project team composed of Dominic Vincent D. Ligot, Mark Toledo, Frances Claire Tayco, and Jansen Dumaliang Lopez developed a forecasting model of dengue cases using climate and digital data and pinpointing possible hotspots from satellite data. Correlating information from Sentinel-2 Copernicus and Landsat 8 satellites, DOST-PAGASA for climate, and trends from search engines, potential dengue hotspots will be displayed in a web interface. Indices like Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) are used in identifying areas with green vegetation while Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) to identify areas with water. Combining these indices reveal potential areas of stagnant water capable of being breeding grounds of mosquitoes.

"It benefits the community especially those countries suffering from malaria and dengue, just like the Philippines. I think it has a global impact. This is the new science to know the potential areas where dengue might occur. It is a good app," said Engr. Raul C. Sabularse, deputy executive director of DOST-PCIEERD.


"It is very relevant to the Philippines and other countries which usually having problems with dengue. The team was able to show that it's not really difficult to have all the data you need and integrate all of them and make them accessible to everyone for them to be able to use it. It's a working model. It is something can actually be made usable in a short span of six months," Mr. Ibrahim said.

Biological oceanographer Dr. Paula S. Bontempi, acting deputy director of the Earth Science Mission, NASA's Science Mission Directorate and the current leader of the Space Apps global organizing team.

Space Apps leader Dr. Paula S. Bontempi, the acting deputy director of the Earth Science Mission, NASA's Science Mission Directorate was impressed of these solutions presented in Manila, "The top two are really good. There were definitely a few projects right behind them. There is a lot of good talent out there. It was nice to see."


Rex Lor from United Nations Development Programme in the Philippines commended the use of the Sustainable Development Goals on Good Health and Well-Being, and Life Below Water of the winning solutions showcasing the "pivotal role of cutting-edge digital technologies in the creation of strategies for sustainable development in the face of evolving development issues."


Both champions will join teams around the world to be evaluated by NASA to approximately select the top 30 projects as global finalists in early December, and the top six winners will be announced in January 2020. Winners shall be invited to visit the NASA’s Kennedy Space Center at Florida in 2020.


Last year, team iNON used a citizen science platform by NASA to develop an application seeking to communicate scientific data to fishermen even without Internet connection, which led them to victory as the first Pinoy global winner. Their project called ISDApp is currently being incubated by Animo Labs.

Pinoy hackers going deep into addressing real-world problems on Earth and space.
University president Br. Raymundo B. Suplido FSC hopes that NASA Space Apps would "encourage our young Filipino researchers and scientists to create ideas and startups based on space science and technology, and pave the way for the promotion and awareness of the programs of our own Philippine space agency."


Vice President Leni Robredo recognized Space Apps as a platform "where some of our country's brightest minds can collaborate in finding and creating solutions to our most pressing problems, not just in space, but more importantly here on Earth."


"Space Apps is a community of scientists and engineers, artists and hackers coming together to address key issues here on Earth. At the heart of Space Apps are data that come to us from spacecraft flying around Earth and are looking at our world," as explained by Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen, NASA associate administrator for science.

37th Luna Awards to Hail the Best of PH Cinema and Laud Sine Sandaan Luminaries



Wazzup Pilipinas!

The 37th Luna Awards, with its Awards Ceremony took place on November 30, Saturday, was unique in several ways. Firstly, the Luna Awards 2019 is a special edition because it takes place during the year-long celebration of the centenary of Philippine Cinema. The Luna Awards Night will feature a special segment on the One Hundred Years of Philippine Cinema to continue and propagate its commemoration that was mandated in Presidential Proclamation No. 622, Series of 2018, which declared September 12, 2019 to September 11, 2020 as the official celebration of the Philippine Cinema Centennial.

Secondly, two types of trophies will be given at the Luna Awards this year. The Luna Awards trophy will be awarded to the film professionals who have done exemplary artistic achievements within the eligibility period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018. The respective industry peers of the nominees voted on 12 categories. Of the 16 films nominated this year, four have garnered the most nominations: “Signal Rock” by Chito Roño and “Liway” by Kip Oebanda with nine nominations each, and “Buy Bust” by Erik Matti and “Goyo: Ang Batang Heneral” by Jerrold Tarog with eight nods apiece. The Special Awards recipients are Regal Films matriarch Lily Monteverde for the Fernando Poe, Jr. (FPJ) Lifetime Achievement Award and Best Supporting Actress Nominee Nova Villa for the Manuel de Leon Award for Exemplary Achievement.

Thirdly, the Film Academy of the Philippines (FAP) and Film Development Council of the Philippines (FDCP) have joined forces for the first time to hold the Luna Awards. In previous years, FDCP has provided support to FAP, but this is the first time that FDCP has stepped up to become a co-organizer together with FAP. Happening at the Maybank Performing Arts Theater in Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City, the 37th Luna Awards promises to be a star-studded event, with the attendance of veterans, icons, and celebrities to be led by FAP Director-General Vivian Velez and FDCP Chairperson and CEO Liza Diño.

The Luna Awards Night is set to be a Philippine Cinema extravaganza with musical performances and production numbers that are sure to light up the stage, including a Tribute to Willy Cruz and George Canseco, who are both Luna Awards Hall of Fame inductees. The awards show spectacle will surely dazzle with its guests, performers, presenters, nominees, and awardees. The Luna Awards Night is under the direction of singer-songwriter Ice Seguerra.

Ten days prior to the Luna Awards Night, the FAP and FDCP held a Nominees' Night on November 20 at Delgado.112 restaurant along Scout Delgado Street in the Tomas Morato area of Quezon City. The Nominees' Night introduced the nominees to the members of the press, celebrated the nominees’ notable works, and fostered better camaraderie in the entertainment industry.

The 37th Luna Awards on November 30 is a strictly invitational Black Tie Optional affair. The Red Carpet Ceremonies will begin at 5:30 p.m., followed by the Cocktail Reception at 6 p.m., and the Awards Ceremony promptly starting at 8 p.m. The Red Carpet and Awards Ceremony will be shown via livestream on the FDCP Facebook page (with the username Film Development Council of the Philippines).
