Content Strategy
Search Engines love fresh and relevant content. Period. A defined and active content strategy will pay huge dividends in terms of sustained online visibility. We often see it as the make or break component for many high competition SEO’d sectors. A site that’s offering fresh, relevant and unique content sends strong ranking signals to Google’s algorithm indicating that the site is maintained and is working towards indexing and offering relevant but unique information which would be a benefit to searchers. Fresh content results in new keyword rankings and therefore, traffic.

Content Mapping
Content mapping is most typically used for content rather than application sites. Content mapping describes the ability to produce a complete list of all content that the site holds and will hold in the future.
For sites particularly rich in content, it may be a list of types of content. Once the content is aggregated, the simplest way to deal with organizing it is to perform a card sort. This technique is used to identify the most appropriate way content should be grouped and what labels and headings should be used. Typically the names of each of the content items are written on an index card or entered into a computer programme. These are then sorted by likeness.
