Most important thing in content?

In your point of view, what is the most important in content of any website or blog?

Any thoughts?

Yes content is a very important thing but the presentation of that content is equally important. Today people are impatient and don't have time. So the information a person wants is to be given to him quickly and effectively. On the place of long paragraphs other means such as photos, videos, graphics gives the information quickly and people take them more easily.

Content is two-fold. It has to be engaging for the reader and understandable to computers and search engines. You want to rank but you also want to be engaging when you do rank, which will happen with enough content at some point. So, here's my answer:

Most Important Technical:

1. <h1> - </h6> tags; for important rank-desire titles - order them chronologically
2. <strong></strong> and / or (CSS): {font-weight: bold;} for important words - don't use in-line CSS that much
3. <a href="someplace.html">Keyword Here</a>; put link keywords in your site and outside of your site
4. > than 600 words per article
5. Schema Tags; learn about schema mark up here: http://schema.org/docs/gs.html#microdata_how
6. Sitemap.xml File
7. Robots.txt File
8. Rewrite URL to create vanity links in your site in your .htaccess file
9. Try to disguise .php extensions (not a huge deal yet)
10. Ease of Use: Responsive for mobile and tablets, anticipate swiping and fingers

Non-technical Content Factors:

1. Contrasting color scheme: light or white background on dark text is easier to read than white text on a dark background
2. Colors: off-greens, light blues = trust & reassurance, black, #1f1f1f = expense or power and luxury, red = raised heart rate
3. Engaging content: Have a "voice" and an opinion in your content. At least be yourself.
4. Large Titles: for easy reading on multiple devices
5. Listify: Written content is easiest to digest when it comes in the form of a numbered and titled list - like this post

A great piece of content won't do anything for me unless it has great pacing, so that's a must.

The quality of the content is important. Many people think it is quantity but it's not. You see people just churning out content but there is really no quality in it. You can tell when a person has really put in the time with their content. It really makes a difference.

Putting myself in the position of a potential reader, I like content that's short, precise, engaging and entertaining. I don't really want to read a long story about your dog yet your telling me about how to set up a blog on WordPress.

There is so much to read on the internet. People look for content that is not a task to read. Something simple and helpful. When I first want to read something it takes me 2 seconds or less to decide whether I want to read it or not.

Presentation of the content is also important. Break it down into readable sections.Explain it like your explaining it to a two-year-old. Also, make it original. I hate it when I'm researching a topic and I open ten web pages with the same content. Such a waste of time!

As said 'Contents are the king', those are very important part of the website because visitors will attract and visit of your website only if you have the unique and attractive contents with the best graphics.

If you've quality contents then it will definitely increase the traffic on your website or application. From SEO point of view, if there are contents with high rated keywords then it will put your website on top rank. Contents are king because this is the way to impress and invite valued customer towards you.

If there are quality contents then no need of advertising too, you will automatically get the hits.

Expanding on what @EpicGlobalWeb mentioned:
Well placed keywords. More traffic is always good, and if you want to rank highly on search engines, have your keywords in your blog post content - not just your main website content.

Readability. The Yoast SEO plugin for Wordpress analyses your content and gives a score based on the Flesch Reading Ease test. It's essential to have a high score on blog posts to make sure most people can understand it in your target audience. Microsoft Office also supports this, and there is a multitude of online tools to test the Flesch Reading Ease as well.

Paragraphs, grammar, and spelling. Self-explanatory.

Most important thing in a content is its substance. If I cannot relate or get the value out of the blog, then it is useless information for me. Lasting impressions build good reputation and followers.
