Background

There has been a debate about the quality or quantity of articles that should take precedence.
This becomes a polemic that never ends. Spawned two camps in which the first stronghold believes that prioritizing the quality of the article is better, and the second stronghold believes that the quantity of the article is better.

Actually put quality or quantity of the article is equally good. Both have their advantages and disadvantages respectively. If both are good why not create quality and quantity articles at once ? Because quality articles take a lot of time in the making. While the quantitative articles must be completed with a relatively short time.

Quantity and quality can be done simultaneously, if you are a truly skilled writer and have plenty of free time to write. But different case if you are a newbie who has just plunged into the world of blogging. It is therefore important to know the quality or quantity that is suitable for you to use.

Quality Content

In the modern era and changes in many algorithms today, content plays an important role for the success of a blog and posting. You write great content and you will get the end. The principle is simple: "Bad content is left behind and good content will be consumed".

There are no tools that can assess the quality of content at this time. We just guess and assume if the content we publish is good. That's just an assumption. In fact, there are times when content that we think is better than others is less good in the presentation. No one even commented. Moreover that makes it as a reference. This means no one is concerned with your content.

I think the quality contents must meet the requirements and criteria that I consider worthy of being a quality content. That is :

1. Content Uniqueness
Every time I want to write new content, I always ask "Has the topic been discussed by other bloggers or not?".
The goal is only one, so my content is unique, I always think it's useless to write the same information with other blogs. Although later my content is able to rank first, but does not change the fact that the content is cheap.
Of course, nobody will be interested to read it. You know what the reason? There is the possibility of others already very familiar with the content of the content because everyone wrote it repeatedly. Again again and again.
Unless you present differently and include the latest information using research data, there may be opportunities, or you write a case study, it is also understandable.
But if you just write something similar (though using different words), it's not unique. And of course, that does not include quality content.

2. Article Length
You know the trend of blogger world in the current era? It is writing super-complete content that consists of at least 2000 words. Long content is a quality guarantee, complete and reliable.

3. In accordance with the interests of readers
One of the most difficult parts in managing a blog is understanding the audience or the reader. So you've created a few categories to make it easier for readers to browse your content.
Once you realize that postings about a theme get a higher reward than posting with other themes. While other content get more comments compared to other content. Then it is an indication that you should write more often about a particular theme for your loyal readers. Of course it depends on how big your blog is. What is clear is that you should remember: "Content that matches loyal readers is quality content".

4. Well Written
The quality of a content can be seen from the use of the vocabulary in it and the good relationship between paragraphs one with another paragraph. The point is that readers are able to understand the message you want to convey.

Some good writing judgments :

• Simple

This means not using many terms or jargon that confuses the reader.

• Well structured

Using subtitles, bullet points, bold, italics, or list form. You do not have to use them all.

• Speaking good

The important thing the reader is able to understand your content. not necessarily like a robot language that always uses the standard word. Also not mixed with other languages, so readers feel comfortable when reading.

5. Make Your Readers Hooked
Quality content is content that satisfies the reader. When they finish reading, then their mind will say: "I will visit and read your writing again to get useful information.
To do it certainly takes a lot of effort. Many factors affect reader satisfaction such as blog loading, used font, beautiful blog design, and reader interaction in comment field.
And most importantly, your content is applicative that can be readily practiced by the reader. As soon as you satisfy your visitors, your number of visitors will increase every day.

Quantity Content

Priority quantity means you will post articles at regular intervals and may be on a daily basis. For those of you who are professional with the priority of quantity it will have the opportunity to become a blog with a higher page rank.

That way blogs become "fat fast" and search engines become larger because the more content of articles from your blog, because there are many articles that can be read by visitors and the opportunity to rank up becomes larger and more and more rewards. If the content you post is good and interesting for readers then many will want to read and continue to visit, It means that more and more visitors can cause crowds in your blog.

There is also a lack of content quantity that is: If your content is not interesting, then many visitors will leave your blog. Furthermore the database will be full of "perfunctory" content if you post the article in a bad mood. Sometimes writing can bring you saturation because you are required to pursue a target each day.

# The Most Appropriate Use of Quality or Quantity Analysis

Each blog has different content writing standards. It is very wrong if you generalize everything. To know and choose the right use of quality or quantity used, there are several factors.
Not all content has the same standards. For example blog information better to give priority to quality. While the blog is downloaded more priority quantity.
Because not all bloggers who make writing as the main job. But there are also just hobbies and leisure time, so the amount of time available to write is also important to be taken into account. Even so, there are certain types of blogs that are required to use the quantity of articles. For example like blog downloads, news, short stories, humor and others.

# Conclusion Many bloggers who think that quality content is content that is able to sit on the first page. It was a big mistake.
