Blogging for more traffic
June 28, 2008
Traffic, everyone wants it, every business website needs it.
So you built a website and took your company online. But after the grueling design process, all you had was a pretty website, with little or no visitors.
It happens all the time folks, don’t feel like you’re all alone in this. People build websites with extreme expectations of good search engine performance right from the start. Most of the time they simply expect that the web designer did the fantastic job they told them they would. Which in many cases, it’s likely that they did design a decently optimized site for you. The problem is that a four page wonder of a website is not enough in today’s competitive search ranking battles.
That is unless you have a topic that is as untouched as lunar real estate. Odds are this is not the case. Odds are you have competitors and you need to fight your way to the top of your market.
So you do a little research and learn about content. More specifically, you learn that your website really needs fresh content. Content that is added regularly so that the search engines can see your website growing gradually. Becoming a resource in their eyes and in the eyes of your users.
You realize you need a blog. And you’re right. You do.
Blogging is the secret to getting more listings in the search engines, thus, more traffic for your website. More focused, search engine traffic that is. The visitors that are actually looking for the products, looking for the services that you and your company provide. The proverbial golden goose.
Yes, blogging can do this for your site. It can bring in much more traffic and build a solid user base that can last. But you have to be committed to your blog and you have to stay committed to it. For a blog to work the content magic on your search engine rank, you need to consistently make the effort. Each and every day if possible.
So if your website is suffering for traffic and you don’t have a blog, get one. In very little time you’ll see that it’s the traffic miracle you’ve been looking for.
