Writing Assessments Accentuate Accuracy
By:Ward Tipton

WAAA!

When you own a car, you probably already know all of the little problems that your vehicle has and you have learned to deal with them and have gotten used to them. Chances are better than not that you do not even consider them at all but have grown so accustomed to the issues that it has become natural for you to not have any concern at all about such minor details.

However, when you go to purchase a car or sell a car, all of those little things suddenly begin to take on a much larger role. Each one of those little issues now becomes something that must be consciously figured into your decision about whether to proceed with the purchase or not. What was never even a consideration when you owned the vehicle, is now reflected openly and accurately in terms of a very real increase or decrease of the overall cash value.

So what does that have to do with writing or the content that you are either creating or paying for? Why is anything like that even considered as being relevant or important to content for your website? Take a look at what the real implications actually are and you will see what it really means to you, your reputation, your products, your promotions and ultimately, to your profits.

The point is that when you own something like a car, you know that there are certain issues and you learn to live with them and deal with them more often than not, subconsciously. That is to say that to you, they are not even worth mentioning, much less worthy of any real concern.

When you see someone elses car, you probably understand that it has issues as well and do not really have any reason for worrying about those at all in most instances. At least, you will never have to deal with them until you are trying to get somewhere that you must get to in that other persons vehicle. Then all of a sudden, you begin to see all of the imperfections more clearly and consciously or now, you become aware of them and think about the relevance of each one.

Most people will think about these things consciously. While you will rationalize matters in your own way, chances are better than not that you will at the very least, subconsciously compare it to your vehicle and make certain assessments. The same is true for the internet, especially for people who are writing their own material or buying material that has to be used in the realm of their internet marketing campaign.

You will probably never consciously concern yourself with all of the little errors that you have in your writing. Most people will not notice them at all you think. Except when they are forced to look for a reliable source for information that they can use in order to make an informed decision in regards to something that is covered by your particular niche.

Whether the visitors will consciously think about the minor errors on your site, they will notice them. Mind you, everybody that comes to your site is (Or at least should be) a potential customer and is buying a vehicle of some sort or another. Whether they are purchasing a product or information they are looking to buy a vehicle to get them from their current predicament to a more desirable location or situation in their life.

Whether they pay conscious attention to the details or not, they are going to notice them. When they purchase their vehicle, they are going to get the one that is most likely to get them to their desired location. They are going to look to purchase that vehicle from the person who seems most capable of delivering something that will fit their needs and get them their as comfortably as possible. In the instance of information, they are also going to want to seek out the most qualified person to purchase from.

Are you going to pay one of your friends to give their opinion about a vehicle or are you going to look for an expert who has already demonstrated the a certain amount of expertise and knowledge above that possessed by the average person? When you buy something online, you are probably going to pick out the most professional and reliable source that you can find. The content that they provide you with is where you will base your decisions.

When people are coming to your web sites, they are looking for an expert, not someone who is only human and understands that everybody makes mistakes. If you want to be successful, you can settle for whatever you can get or you can make yourself stand out from the crowd and become The Online Resource for what they need. Think about things from their perspective and you will see that even small errors will hurt you more than they will ever help.
