The SEO Blogging Paradox
This blog entry was posted on February 27, 2010.
Something that is free can’t be worth anything… right? We have been conditioned to pay out hard money when we absolutely need results. This isn’t the case with blogging when it is used as an SEO tool. Blogging is something you can do for free. So the paradox is how can something for free be so good for attracting new visitors?
Adding a blog to your website is the best way to build up the search rankings on Google and to attract targeted visitor traffic. Add a WordPress.org blog to your website. You can do this for free or pay a developer to do the work for you.
Don’t get me wrong, blogging is hard work. You need to set aside the time and make a commitment to doing it. So in that sense, blogging isn’t free, it takes your time, especially if you want to do it right. You don’t need to pay money out for blogging.
6 Benefits of Blogging
- Adding a blog to your website adds new keyword rich content to your website every time you write a new posting. Each posting adds a new page to your website and search engines value that.
- Linking to specific relevant pages in your main site using keywords as anchor text will help the rankings of those pages.
- Blogs attract new visitors since they broadcast your message to the blogosphere via RSS. This brings new visitors to your website that ordinarily would never know your website existed.
- Original and insightful postings will attract links from other bloggers who come and read your blog. These links will not only benefit your blog, but the entire website. Rankings for the entire website will rise.
- By regularly blogging, you will build a following of readers who will read your every post. You will build an audience who perceives you as the expert in your niche.
- When you blog regularly, you are naturally more alert and read anything available in your market niche. Your understanding, knowledge and expertise build with every posting. In other words, you become an expert… even if you weren’t when you started blogging.
