3 Strategies for Blogging

• Do you know what guest blogging is and how it can be used as an effective business SEO strategy?

To be in the SEO top page rank (PR) may take effort, goal setting, scheduling, and time, but it will prove worth it.

Find a blog similar to your information and ask if you can become a Guest Blogger. If your are allowed to put your URL address either in the address area or the comment area - this will become a link back.

Also - make relevant comments on blogs that are similar to yours - and again you will get those link backs!

These are in-bound links to your site and remember in-bound links are another great piece for your SEO.



Great sites for this are:

• Sites similar to yours - for me it might be marketing for small businesses and I would go in see what they are saying and make a comment as a small business coach - promoting my business and what I know.
• Educational sites - i.e. search:.edu blogs (your subject)
• Government sites - i.e. search:.gov blogs (your subject)

How to go about this - what is the strategy?

If you did this just 2 or 3 times a week - when people see your name (or the name of your blog) and they will be curious about your site and may visit or even subscribe to your site.

Make this a part of your marketing strategy - set goals -

1. Write 3 blog posts on your own blog each week - on the same days is what I've heard experts say

2. Write comments and see if you can be a Guest Blogger and post 3 times a week as comments or as a Guest.

3. Write and submit articles online - 20 times a month. Ouch sounds like a lot - and it is a lot of good for your business. I have read the analytics for my site after an article is accepted, and...the visitors almost double!

These are some strategies that are call 'organic' SEO and I have been on Page 1 of Google a few times using these methods!

To help you achieve these objectives?

• Tell others what your goal is - so you can be held accountable - they can coach you on - make a routine, a habit - it is part of your job - it will be part of your success.
• Read a few of the postings in the blog you are a Guest Blogger for, you may want to make a few changes to mirror their style and info. Get into the flow with them, when you Guest Blog on their site.

I know from my own experience and working with my own clients, how difficult it is to get yourself into this routine.

But keep reminding yourself that you are in business to bring in revenue, earn an income for yourself!

So what will bring you some money in ASAP? Do that first!! And keep focused and enthusiastic about what you need to do to bring income into your business!

Blogging for Entrepreneurs - If you run a small company, you may find that the world of blogging for Entrepreneurs is a world that you want to be a part of. Blogging is a great way to get the word out to consumers about your product or service, and it can even be useful for inspiring employee loyalty and helping you keep your workers at peak morale. If you are looking for a way to take your business to the next level, consider what starting a blog might be able to do for you. Blogging for entrepreneurs has a lot in common with all other types of blogging, but it has its own unique pitfalls and strengths. The key to having a successful blog as a business owner is keeping your goals clear and concrete at every step of your blogging adventure. It can be all to easy to get sidetracked, especially if you are just learning about the exciting possibilities of blogging technology, but if you want your blog to succeed you need to stay focused. Write up a plan for how often you will update, how you will promote your blog and retain readers, whether you will feature photographs or video, and other aspects of your blog, and then stick to it with the same kind of determination that you used when you built your company.
Re: Best Internet Marketing Strategy - Hi David, I agree about the Blogosphere. You have a smaller group that Blog, but do so on the premise that they think they should, but have never really considered the purpose of their Blog. Then I think there are a few SEO or Internet Marketing types that see Blogging as just another link building strategy. But the largest group of Bloggers, tend to be people who enjoy writing and discussing their topics of interest. Blogging is good for link building, but the true Blogger is a breed apart from the rest. They want to dialog, to debate, to have feedback and they are very willing to link to other worthwhile conversations that are relevant to their topic. I agree with you. These group of Bloggers obviously are passionate about their writing and together, they create huge conversation trails interactive and travel from Blog to Blog. But the evidence is clear with this group that loves what they write about. With comments enabled on a Blog and having a Blog tuned to a specific purpose you already have the evidence of original Social Media.
Use of Blogging For Promotion - Blogging might not be the easiest promotion and advertising method however it certainly is one of the cheapest methods. All you need is a hosting package and a domain. Actually you could do it through Blogger and it would be free of charge.
