Cranking out the content

We've been having a pretty satisfying time over the past few weeks building out the content on a couple of our sites. It's a great feeling as you take a website thats reasonably good and keep adding pages, each one of which makes it that little bit more useful. For example, our Thailand Holidays website used to be more of a glossy brochure type site, with brief overviews of destinations.

Now, with the content we've been adding and the huge list of pages we are writing and researching we feel it won't be long until it is useful as a general purpose travel guide to the country that is applicable to luxury holidaymakers and backpackers alike.

Its a bit of a shame that one of the side effects of the age or trust filter on many search engines is a demotivational factor - why struggle to keep writing content every day when you know that it won't appear anywhere for a number of months? - but once a website reaches a point where new content ranks almost immediately its great to start thickening out the pages and making a site more useful.
