Quality content indicators for human users
I’ve posted before about possible quality indicators for Google, so now we’re going to look at a couple of quality indicators for human users.
Michael Gray posts a nice set of indicators for providing value content for human users:
1. Create a Glossary
2. Use Video and Podcasts
3. Do Interviews
4. Provide Conference Coverage
5. Cover News and Emerging Trends
In addition, as posted before, consider quality indicators of authority from librarians:
1. Availability
2. Credibility
3. Authorship
4. External Links
5. Legality
Together, all of these suggest key ingredients for creating an authoritive and quality website.
Of course, actually building and executing a site with all of these ingredients is another challenge…
ADDED:
And for Ecommerce sites:
1. SSL logo
2. Better Business Bureau logo/link
3. Credit card logos
