Search engine marketing with
blogs!
Blogs are
fast becoming the SEO tool of choice by many webmasters. Why? Content.
Search engines love content. The more content your blog can provide on a
steady basis, the better your ability to increase traffic. Blogs are easy
to start and anyone can for more effective SEO management.
What content do you place in your blog? You can place any useful
information or articles about your product or service. If, for example,
you are a wedding planner, you should write about tips future brides may
not be aware of in relation to planning their wedding. You might talk
about wedding scams, catering faux pas, honeymoon hotspots etc... Let the
readers know you have something more to offer then just a simple service.
People who feel comfortable about a person or organization are far more
likely to buy from them. Let your readers know who you are and what you
are capable of doing for them.
Now that you have your
content, you need to get it into the reader’s hands. The advantage of
using a blog is that you can syndicate your content. Rich Site Summary or
RSS is a format used to syndicate your content instantly. In other words,
people can have your content posted on their web site or sent to their
email. Most blog sites will give you your own special URL to submit to
sites that syndicate content. These sites will then contact your URL for
the content. The more you update your site the more your site will be
indexed or PINGED by RSS feeds. To help ensure your RSS feed is being
indexed, enter the RSS tag into the of your site. Just enter your site
title and the URL with your special URL for RSS. This and other tags can
be used in most blogs. Take advantage of them.
Creating a blog will allow your content to be syndicated which in turn
will increase traffic to your web site as well as build your link
popularity through RSS and blog directories. This will give you and your
products or services recognition. The knowledge and personal insights that
you share will help build your business and your customer relations. The
RSS feeds and blog directories will also help build your page rank on
search engines. Blogs have all the ingredients to be one of the best free
advertising tools the Internet has to offer. Why aren’t you taking
advantage?
