Real spiders like dead stuff but Web spiders are all about fresh!

Fresh content, that is!

(If you want to know more about Web spiders, click here otherwise keep reading to find out a cheap, fast and easy way you can freshen up your web site.)

Blogs
 

It's a weblog.
It's an online journal.
It's a cost-effective way to create buzz and communicate with your target market.

For example, are you a manufacturer of orthoses that will be affected by Competitive Bidding?

If you are going to be affected, then your target market will be too. Are you blogging about it?

(Click here to read CMS's final rule on Competitive Bidding and Accreditation)

Do you provide liability or property/casualty insurance services?

Are you blogging about policy updates and things your clients need to know about in order to protect themselves?
(Like the very scary Medical Record Identity theft post! If you provide patient care services - or you have health insurance read it!)

A blog provides an interactive forum for you to share information with your target market and for them to talk back to you.
You're blogging...you're marketing!

Link your blog to your website.
Search engine web crawling spiders love blogs. They are filled with fresh content!
