# Content Creation - 17 Tips To Crush Your Competition \[Infographic\]
[Content Marketing](https://blog.velocity23.com/blog/topic/content-marketing)
I'm really excited about our infographic this week - we're going to teach you *17 tips* you can use in your content to create pieces that *crush* your competition's content.
Now that so many businesses are joining the content creation arena, it's getting harder to *stand out*. Fortunately, there are research firms that go out and find *trends* with content that *converts*, gets *shared*, has a *high CTR* and *ranks* *better* in the SERPs.
That is just what the people at [Siege Media](http://www.siegemedia.com/increase-website-traffic) did and they put together the handy infographic below.
How about I do this...
Let me give you a short summary of the tips I found *most appealing*, then you can read over the full infographic below.
Sound good? Great! Let's get started.
## **URL Length**
I talked about this in my [on-page SEO ranking factors](https://blog.velocity23.com/blog/on-page-seo-ranking-factors-true-or-false-infographic) post but, having a *short URL length* is ideal. In fact, URLs that ranked #1 on average have *50 characters* in the URL. Just think about when you're searching and the top two results look like this:
**website.com/resources/content/blog/category/title-of-post**
and
**website.com/title-of-post**
Which one would you rather *click* on? The *second* one, am I right? Plus it is better for the search engine spiders when they go looking at your site. So work to keep your URLs close to *50 characters*.
## **Different Content Types**
This one is really smart. If both you and your competition have a post on the same topic, then make sure yours has *content types they don't*. Add *video*, *animations*, *memes*, an *interactive* *tool*, or anything else your competitor *doesn't* have. This kind of stuff will make your content *better* for the user, more *remarkable*, and more *share-worthy*. Sure it will likely take you little longer to put this content out there, but it's better to make something great than to just dump out garbage (there's enough of that on the web).
## **Imagery**
This part is important so *pay attention*. On average, articles with *nine images* ranked *#1 on SERPs*. Now you don't want to just put any old image in your post. Getting *high-quality*, *professional* photos and graphics in your articles will get you *121% more shares* on average. Also, you want to include an image *every 75-100 words* to get the most shares.
Scroll down to read the infographic for more.
So as you can see there are a lot of great tips you can use right away to get a leg up on your competition. Content is just one piece of the puzzle. However, everyone agrees that one key element to your content is the *title*.
Lucky you! We put together an ebook, complete with tips on writing an *awesome title*, and a full list of titles you can start using right now. It's quite popular if I do say so myself. Download The Ultimate Blog Title Swipe File now.
