The rise and rise of blogging as part of the web 2.0 phenomenon has taken
the Internet by storm. Savvy web marketers are now using blogs as an
additional weapon to generate leads, add credibility and improve their
search engine rankings. Here are six reasons why you should consider
blogging.
Blogging is great fun! Yes, blogging can be great fun. Just open you
posting window and go for it without the restrictions of corporate style
guides and other impediments to creativity. For more information visit to
www.bloggers-guide-to-profit.com. Got something to say? Just say it. The
other fun aspect of blogging is that people can post comments about your
blog posts. You posts plus reader comments all become valuable food for
the search engines.
Blogging is cheap. The most powerful blogging systems are free. Word press
seems to be the blogging standard and now comes standard with many cheap
web hosting packages. For less than $100 per year anyone can get their own
domain with blogging included.
I wouldn't use one of the free blogging services unless you are really
desperate. You can't be sure if they will always remain free and your
posts will be building up someone else' asset rather than your own.
Blogging is fast and easy. If you can use notepad you can blog. The user
interface is very intuitive and allows you to add and edit, text,
pictures, and videos, whatever you want. For more details visit to
www.instant-blog-and-ping.com. Want to change the look and layout of your
blog? There are literally hundreds of themes available that take less than
a minute to upload and install.
Blogging gives you products and services personality. People like to do
business with people they like. By blogging you show your target market
that there is a real person behind the company you represent. By reading
you blog posts that get an idea of what you're all about - warts and all.
The personal aspect of blogging is one of its most powerful
characteristics.
Your blog becomes another Internet asset. Some blog sites get thousands
and thousands of readers each day. This traffic can be converted to hard,
cold cash through Google Adsense advertising, affiliate programs and
straight advertising space sale. Once you blog increases it's Google Page
Rank, you also get the benefit of linking out from your blog site to other
web sites you want to promote.
Search engines just love blogs. It is said in many SEO forums that Google
staff are great bloggers and subsequently Google spiders and indexes blogs
more frequently that normal web sites. This may just be a rumor, but I
have found it to be true in my case. If you blog every day there's a good
chance Google and the other major search engines will spider your blog
every day looking for that new content.
Convinced? Give blogging a try. There are stacks of free resources listed
in article directories like this one that will help you get into blogging.
