Emergent SEO Tool: Proofreading
“Proofreading traditionally means reading a proof copy of a text in order to detect and correct any errors. Modern proofreading often requires reading copy at earlier stages as well.” Proof reading is a fast growing and developing tool in SEO.
Online proofreaders have now become indispensable on the Internet with the huge rise of websites. Nothing else turns a web visitor more off or prompts loss of reliability points than the misspelled words on your website. That obvious spelling blunders right on a website's homepage!
So, what are the SEO tips, clue or hints for a successful proofreading? Recall and follow some of the following 5 points which will definitely lead to an unbeaten proof reading:
Read as slow as possible. It’s better to read out loud. Read one word at a time
Developing a healthy sense of doubt. Double check for those types of errors you know you tend to make.
Read what is really on the page and not what you assume is there. (Though, this is quiet a difficult sub-skill to acquire, mainly if you only wrote what you are reading).
Use abbreviation only if it appears more than trice in the abstract or document.
Proofread more than just the once. Probably, work with someone else.
Proofreading as it is identified is not an innate ability. It is a skill that is acquired and obtained. And like it is said, an old error is always more popular than a new truth but Life would be dull without them as A man's errors are his portals of discovery!
