I was late night tune-streaming on 1.fm's Disco Ball channel when it occurred to me that Kool & The Gang's "Fresh" was uncannily relevant to social media and search engine optimization. To set the mood, play it on YouTube in the embedded player below.

Kool & The Gang - Fresh Social Media & SEO Ode
Conversation is going 'round
People talking 'bout the girl who's come to town
Lovely lady pretty as can be
No one knows her name she's just a mystery		 Social bookmarkers are bookmarking
Bloggers are (micro)blogging
About the newly posted intrigue content
With viral intent
I have seen her maybe once or twice Spread across portal and UGC venues
The one thing I can say though she's very nice
She's a lady one I really want to know		 Worthy website, deserving of a deep link and new views
Somehow I've got to let my feeling show Keyword-rich anchor text and "Link Love" PR value-passing
[Chorus]
She's fresh exciting
She's so exciting to me
She's fresh exciting
She's so inviting to me yeah		 It's fresh content, and it's enticing
For the end-user: new reading material to keep the website engaging
For the algorithm: new content to keep the long-tail keyphrase wagging
So inviting to crawlers yeah

Whether you manage your own content or hire a web agency to publish on your behalf, fresh quality content (i.e. unique and relevant) is of importance for the sustainable visibility of your website on highly competitive terms; such content reinforces your website's overall topical relevance, and in turn your potential "usefulness" to search engine users in this dynamic digital print world. Stay fresh.

Need inspiration on keyword-rich topics to write about? Here are a few ideas that will naturally yield search-forward relevant content (notice the keyword-rich descriptors):

  • A recently received award or certification that acknowledges an area of specialty, e.g. the city's best plastic surgeon in recognition for outstanding work in cosmetic surgery
  • Business expansion, e.g. the hiring of a new VP of marketing with an extensive track record in traditional and online advertising
  • Community involvement that utilizes a primary line of business, e.g. a printing company that printed trifold fliers for a local charity 5K run.
  • Business mile-markers reached, e.g. a 10th year anniversary in web design excellence
  • New client testimonials
