Default How To Build A Business Blog

Many websites could use the extra promotion of having a business blog to help refer customers to their products. If your business website is not very high up on the search engines building a business blog to complement it may be just the thing you need.

Make sure you create one on a separate keyword rich domain not just a directory under your main website.

Add some blogroll links on your blog to specific pages on your business website using good anchor text.

Write some articles about your product and make sure your title is something that your customers are searching for, use a keyword tool for that.

Within the body of your new business blog posts pick a few good words and make them a link to specific pages on your business site, make sure they are relative meaning your blog post should be about something related to your product, it does not have to be about your product specifically.

Don't forget to update with fresh content often, using the same link building steps described above.

Blogging for a business is a big boost, since now you have more backlinks that help with pr and keywords that bring in more prospective customers.


That's the main steps to building a business blog, feel free to add your take on it.

Default Re: How To Build A Business Blog

This is, in general, a good idea. Keep in mind, though, that each site you create must have external links coming to it in order for it to have much SEO oomph. A blog that isn't linked to from anywhere won't give another site much benefit.

So in a sense, you now have two sites you need to promote, rather than just one. But if you were going to do both sites anyway, definitely link from one to the other to get that boost.

That's true, a blog without marketing is just going to sit there.
But any one that Bloggeries is linking to is going to go far....Take my word on that.
