Blogging is a great tool to use to share your thoughts, feelings, and opinions, but let’s get down to BUSINESS! Blogs are search engine MAGNETS! Blogging is the most likely and fastest way you will get your website listed in the search engines for FREE. There’s only one other “free” way called Organic Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and it’s going to cost you a lot of time and research, and an attempt at becoming an expert in a field that stands on its own as a career choice. That’s probably not part of your short-term business plan, is it? Companies pay professional SEO firms thousands of dollars to get their websites listed, and even once you’re ranked you can’t stop. It has to be constantly maintained or the ranking slips away.

Want to know a way to get your website listed for FREE, that doesn’t take a lot of time, and only uses knowledge and information you already know? It’s called BLOGGING! So what’s so simple about it and why does it work so well? I’m glad you asked! It’s SIMPLE because once it’s all set up all you do is write short articles called posts on a regular basis about your company, its products and services, and what’s going on in your industry. These are all topics that you should already be an expert on. And you can update your Blog from anywhere in the world with just a web browser and internet connection. And if that’s missing, you can update from your cell phone!

It WORKS because of the way Blogs are built and organized, which Search Engines happen to love. Blog posts are stored in a database and indexed by title, topic, date, category, tags, author, etc. It’s very easy for the search engines to breeze through all the data because of the well-designed infrastructure behind the scenes of a Blog. This means the search engines are going to see more pages (and more of each page) whenever they come crawling.

If you’re not blogging about your niche, industry, or cause YOU ARE MISSING OUT! This is Web 2.0–The Social Web–and the conversation is ON. Why not join both sides of the conversation as you put yourself out there and also receive comments, emails, and links back from your customers and prospects? Here’s how to get started:
