The promotional advantages of adding a blog to your existing website, or as a stand alone blog, are many and powerful. The addition of a blog component establishes you as an expert in your field, reaping rewards as a media spokesperson or a public speaker, in your area of endeavor. Being a blogger places you and your business on the leading edge of your industry. Standard offline promotional techniques will also pay dividends when applied to blogs.
Online, your blog will pick up many solid and theme related links from other bloggers, and from traditional websites. The topic sensitive links created will boost your Google PageRank and your search engine results for your main keywords. Often, your blog will provide another search engine result for your business keywords, creating another entry into your main business website.
Because of the freshness of blog content, it is crawled often by the various search engine spiders. That frequent addition of newly crawled content to the search engine indexes will enhance your level of visitor traffic.
Through the use of RSS feeds, your blog posts will be instantly available to your blog subscribers. Used in conjunction with your existing e-mail newsletter, your blog’s RSS feed will keep your readers up to date on your business and your products.
Add a blog to your promotional efforts, and reap the rewards, both on the internet and offline as well.
Your business bottom line will thank you for being a blogger.
