Posted on Friday 15 August 2008

So can blogs benefit your SEO or SEM cause? The answer is yes!

A great benefit of blogs is their ability to link freely with each other, much more than usually done by websites. They also allow easy incorporation of text, audio and video, all these elements help to attract more incoming links.

The easy addition of widgets and plug-ins also makes it easy to share your content, encouraging traffic and link backs. Some blog softwares can even be fine tuned to create simple URLs, simplifying the job of search engine bots to find and crawl their content.

Fresh content is rewarded by visitors and search engines alike with frequent, repeated visits. This means that search engines crawl your site more frequently, making your new content instantly searchable.

Unique features of blogs such as comments and track-backs allow interaction between visitors. This creates an active blog community which is rewarded with citations (contextually relevant, annotated links) by other sites which leads to another reward, high search engine rankings. By recommending the blog on other blogs, forums and even in their own blogs, loyal readers of blogs can immensely boost a blog’s visibility.

If you don’t have a blog for your business website yet, you should consider having one installed. For ideas on what to write on your blog, take a look look at your competitor sites and blogs to get inspiration.
