Business blogging is very different than personal blogging. It is focused and done with a purpose. Business blog marketing can be used as a powerful tool to improve website search engine rankings and bring in targeted website traffic.

Search engine optimization involves anything that improves your rankings in the popular search engines such as Google, MSN & Yahoo. You can optimize your blog to bring in more traffic to your blog. This is easy to do by using keywords in blog titles, blog categories and in the first paragraph of your blog text.

Even more powerful, is using your blog to raise the rankings for your business website. This is particularly effective if your blog is on a separate URL and host from your website. In other words, your blog should be independent and completely separate from your website.

Blogging will still involve writing keyword-rich content that is original, creative and compelling. Keywords are still used in the blog titles and categories. The additional step will be the use of hyperlinked text. Using keyword phrases in the link text and then linking these to a highly relevant page on your website is a very effective SEO method that gives SEO results fast.

How many links should you include in a blog post? 2-5 would be a pretty typical number of links. Be sure to include occasional links to high PR authority websites such as Wikipedia. This speeds the crawling of your blog posts by the search engines.

Blogs traditionally have a large number of postings focused on a particular subject. The page code is often very clean, text rich HTML. They are usually written in a simple, easy to spider format making them an excellent completely natural SEO tool.
