Issue 15  ~  July 21, 2009


Greetings!

     Happy Tuesday! I hope this finds you, your family and your work doing well and prospering.

     This week is the second of the two-part series discussing the effects that blogs can have on our businesses and our websites. This week we look specifically at how blogs can dramatically increase the traffic and page ranks our websites experience.

 

Blogging Your Way to #1
Helping Websites be More Googlicious!

      googlicious [goo-guhl-lish-us]  -adjective  1. describes a website that is appealing to the on-line search engine Google, therefore achieving a higher page rank;  2. describes a website whose Google search listing description is appealing to its users which results in a higher click-through ratio
 
     Last week we looked at how a blog can be beneficial to promoting your business. To re-cap a few of the major benefits, a blog can help you become more personable and more approachable as well as help you be viewed as an authority in your industry or market. A blog can also help you get information to your customers, prospects and followers immediately, build brand and business awareness and help you gain insight to what is in your customer's head.
 
     This week, we will look at how implementing a blog can be a huge benefit to your business' website. Adding a blog to your website is like giving it a shot of steroids or WGH - "website growth hormone!"
 
     In general, the biggest difference between a website and a blog is that a website typically is much more static than a blog. In other words, the content of a website remains largely unchanged for longer periods of time, where a blog's content is quickly and easily changed as frequently as you need or desire. It is the consistent content feeding that helps your website become more Googlicious!
