If Content Is King, Then The Queen is?

13 years ago

If content is King, value would be Queen. In my mind, at least, the pair go hand in hand.

Without content you have nothing of value to offer. Without value, the content is worthless.

Design, to me, would be the castle in which the King and Queen make their abode.

I like this analogy :

Abosolutly agree, but I will expand in my own direction...

If content is king then value is the kingdom.

Website, email, placement ad, poster, piece of paper, or other delviery systems are the castle in which the king lives.

The site design, graphics, page layout, and other artistic measures are the furnature, decorations, paintings, and other home decore that make your stay in teh kingdom an enoyable one. On a larger scale, it also can represetnt the upkeep of the kingdom as a whole, and lets people know they're in a safe neighborhood. Furthermore, at first glance, by looking at the "overall look," one can usually tell if the kingdom is one where they belong, or if they've arived in the wong palce all together.

SEO, backlinks, blog posts, syndication and other offiste promotion are the roads, airports, rivers, and trains that allow you safe travel to the kingdom.

Traffic ... Well, that analogy needs no explination, does it? Pepople come from far and wide to visit our kingdom.

I could keep going...

Really, what is content but a means to deliver value? What is the purose of including peronality, except for making the content easier and more effective to deliver?

Traffic, targeted or not, are just the people coming to your site, store, publication, or other business place looking for something -- something you should be delivering in the form of value.

SEO, the list, advertisments, JVs, affiliates, etc. are just tactics used to get traffic.

Is there a queen?

I think so. The queen is, in my book, reputation and branding of the seller -- not the product.

It's "the other side." It's when you move past the market, beyond their current level of awareness, beyond their adapted sophistacation, and peer into the mind of the individual on a personal level. By establishing identity with your prosepcts themsevles you can effectly reach even the unreachable. By the way of the queen, even the advertising-imune prospect can become a loyal buyer.

Now before anyone accuses me saying somethig I'm not saying, I'll go ahead and address it now.

Who, generally speaking, in a relationship has more power, the man or the woman (i.e., the king or the queen)?

You can decide for yourself.

Thanks

When I created my blog, I threw up some posts, did some real promotions, signed up with different communities and did things just to get the word out (including on Face book and Twitter). And I got results.

But when I bought a new theme and completely overhauled my blog design, I began experiencing:

* A 50% increase in subscription rate
* 66.67% new visits
* Increases pages/visit (3.25)
* Drastically reduced bounce rate (my bounce rate today is just 8.33%)

and others

Once again, I know each person has something working for him. Yours could be your marketing and advertising, yours could be guest posting or any other thing. Mine is design...Hope it helped someone

Peace

Without a doubt, the Queen is Backlinks!

Value is definitely queen lol - content could be a load of garbage, but what value will it have if people don't want it. I have websites with alot of content, and all it does is generate useless traffic. I rather have 100 visitors with valued content than 100,000 visitors with garbage.

I've been reading back through the comments here and find it hard to believe so many miss the point of first providing excellent content with great value before any of the other elements can come into play.

If you have no valuable content, for what purpose would you need SEO or Traffic? None.

Without valuable content, what need would you have of a great design? None.

Without something of relevant value to visitors, you have nothing to market in the first place.

Marketing (which includes SEO, advertising, link-building, etc. which are all methods of driving traffic) would fall into third place, and in this Royal Family analogy, I guess that makes marketing our Prince.

If your marketing efforts work as well as you'd like and you make sales, there is customer service to consider. Fulfillment. We can leave this to the Princess.

Again I say design is the castle in which our royal family lives. We could add the entire nobility if we wanted, but I'll stop here for now. I'm sure others will have more to say.

Well,perfectly agreed.

For me,personally,it is absolutely "implied" that i MUST provide excellent content to my customers.

With "quality content" i meant what you say...that the content must be excellent,valuable.

Traffic means nothing if you don't have excellent,great content first.

So who wears the pants?

Apparently there are many different opinions, and perhaps there is more than one right answer, quality, value, SEO, Marketing, Kings, Queens, even Knights, wow, its a Renaissance, fair, but seriously for a moment.

There must be many different answers, the one that makes the most sense to me is long term results, we have so many people out there marketing great results, oriented concepts, but they fail to mention that those results are often temporary.

Sure you can use a few tips and tricks to get up in the search engine results, but how long does it last, (not long folks) when you decide to use a concept to obtain quick results, the end result is that the laws of physics are constant.

What goes up must come down.

Newton was right, gravity is constant.

If you want to truly develop content with the long term results firmly in mind you have to do a little of all of these things, mentioned in this post, not only do the light's have to be on, but someone has to actually be there too.

with the recent changes effecting SEO results in google, the rules of the game have changed and where it stops no one knows for sure, except for google.

So, dont find yourself locked into one way of thinking it may require an open mind in order to make the changes you need in order to truly succeed.

Quality would be King. There are tons of websites with useless content that does nothing for anyone.

Queen would be the Value that others get from your 'useful' content. If your readers value your content, they most likely will share it and you will get a lot of free 'real' back links to your site. This will naturally bring more visitors back to your site.

In my personal experience, both the king and the queen are backlink(s). I mean, all you have to do is, look at search results across many different niches.

There are hundred and thousands of one page sites with only a sales page that rank high and are on the first page of Google for their keywords.

There is no content on these pages but a few sentence that are purely saleslatters! How did they get there?...

They aren't on the 1st page of Google because they have fresh quality content. No, as a matter of fact most of them have no content on that one page site but a few sentence of sales pitch that is there to get you to buy their product or enter your email to join their list.

They got there, because they have backlinks, lots of them!

That is why I think backlinks are both the king and the queen.

TRAFFIC is KING!

Without TRAFFIC it doesn't matter how good your content is.

Content is QUEEN, to retain your viewers and get them to stay with you!

Hope this helps ;-)
