Content Development
Can your site be considered the best site on a particular topic if you only have coverage of the topic or phrase on a few of your pages? If a site is an important one on a topic, it makes sense that it would have good coverage of that topic.
A key part of Google's indexing algorithm is focused on central documents in the database. These are pages which are referenced in other web pages. If lots of links point to one particular document, Google may refer to that document as an "authority" on the topic.
However, the search engine algorithm has evolved and the number of links to a page is only small part of its ranking as an important page. Since getting links from many important sites on the web is difficult, it makes sense to make your own site look like an authoritative one. Just writing pages and filling them with keywords is the first thing most web site owners do but Google knows everyone does that. To assess whether your site is a reliable resource on a topic, it will look at how the content is shaped, structured and written. The words you use and how you use them will give them a picture of validity.
For this reason, content is written to showcase keywords and topics in ways that look natural, but in fact, it is an engineered writing that aligns with how a search engine assesses relevance.
Google has repeatedly emphasized that its search engine is all about relevance. What is relevant and how is it written? Well, for that you need an expert search engine optimization specialist.
Web Site Content and SEO
Website content for search engines is anything that appears in the source code of the page involved. Search engines don't read video, graphics, javascipt, Java or even Flash for that matter. These are content for humans. What search engine robots read is text and certain hidden tags such as title tags and meta description tags. These are your search engine ranking builders.
So when an Search Engine Optimisation expert refers to content and content development, he's really refering to the text that search engines read and use in calculating rankings. Content as used by a Web designer or web site manager refers to the graphics and interactive widgets and copy that is visible to the human visitor.
