Blogging is sweeping the Internet. It is estimated that there are at least 8 million blogs in the U.S. alone, 32.5 million worldwide!
Most of those blogs are individual diaries, but many businesses have started their own blogs. There are several benefits of having a business blog. To name a few:
• Search Engine Optimisation. Blogs give you an increased presence on major search engines like Google, MSN and Yahoo!
• Brand Building. Blogs serve as another channel to put your brand in front of the customer.
• Position You as Expert. Blogs enable you to articulate your viewpoints, knowledge, and expertise on matters pertaining to your industry.
• Increased Traffic to your Website. If you’re providing valuable information on your blog, there will be a reason for visitors to return and more likely to contact or buy.
