The Many Benefits of Blogging for Experienced and Newbie MarketersBlog is short for ‘Web Log’ and a web log is simply a web site, one to which the owner adds articles, news reports, product updates and other information to benefit visitors or actual customers.But unlike typically creating your web site offline and moving regularly online to update changes, a Blog can be created, added to, and amended entirely online. Even better while most web sites you design and upload yourself can be costly in terms of time, money and effort, some very good blogging sites can be obtained very inexpensively, often free of charge. Your Blog can also be monetized in much the same ways as other web sites, including article sites, article directories, forwarding sites, and so on. So we are looking here at a very cheap way to add links and affiliate promotions to a site that exists already online and can be accessed and amended by you through your browser. These are other reasons why Blogging is such a big big issue today. * There is no html to learn and no special techie knowledge required to create regular and very professional Blog entries. The Blog will begin as a template of your choice into which you simply key or load your information. Once the basic template is created, usually a via series of choices and accept/reject buttons, all you have to do is select and add monetizing elements, give your blog a name, add some information, and off you go. * Many Internet users prefer Blogs to other Internet information sites for the fact they are updated regularly, sometimes several times a day, so hot information always awaits them. * Search engines love Blogs, primarily because the best Blogs change daily, unlike many traditional sites which are altered only when new marketing concepts dictate. Another reason Blogs frequently rank higher than their traditional web site counterparts is that they are almost entirely content based, with perhaps a few monetizing elements like AdSense or some affiliate links, unlike most web sites which are marketing focused and packed with advertisements and invitations to buy. * Niche Blogs are especially likely to rank high in search engine listings primarily those focusing on a really tight niche with few competing Blogs. |
