Introduction to Content Auditing

Content auditing is not rocket science. If you've ever ran your eyes over your bank statement and understood why at the end of the day you have×amount as your end-of-month balance, you have a fairly good idea what an audit is. Now let's talk about content auditing and why you (or anyone else) can do it.

Content auditing is not rocket science. Anyone can do it. This post does not make you a guru in content auditing but it will help you get a hold of what content you've got and where it resides on your website.

1. Get a worksheet (preferably an excel worksheet)

2. Make a note of every content you've got on your website

3. Tag them Quantitatively (By ID, location, date added and author)

4. Tag them qualitatively (By relevance, completeness, usefulness)

5. Save Your Worksheet
