Why is blogging important to you, as a business owner? Many reasons.

1. Google recognizes continuing and changing content. When you create a page on a static website, Google (and the other search engines) find your page and recognize it as new content. Each new static page gets recognized by Google’s bots. With a blog, every single article you write gets cached by Google’s bots. If you write a new blog post every day, that’s the equivalent in Google notifications to creating an entire new page on a static website every single day. Since static website content tends to not change very frequently, you can easily see how this is a practical way to get your business and your website known in the search engines quickly.

2. Your business will get known and discovered in the blogosphere. What is the blogosphere, you ask? In the same way that there exists a universe of static websites, with search engines etc., there also exists a universe on the internet of blogs with their own search engines. Such websites as Technorati and dozens of other blog search engines get automatically alerted or “pinged” every time you post a new article on your blog. Or you can use one of many services to manually ping your blog post after writing it. Wordpress does this automatically for you. This means you get noticed by two different universes of search engines.

3. Proper communication is 2 way, not 1 way. So to really communicate with your public properly, you would want to hear their feedback and generally make yourself as a business owner able to be communicated with. Blogging allows two-way communication. You can control these settings, but by default, a blog allows public comments on each of your blog posts. This interaction makes you appear more real to the public, and also allows you to find out what your public like, don’t like, want, etc. to help you deliver a product or service that’s in alignment with what the public need and want.

4. People will be able to find your business by keyword search. When you blog, you can create tags, which are lists of keywords which are related to your blog post. This feature is actually built in to the best blogging software, so you can just add the keywords and they automatically get sent to Technorati, and your blog post gets linked to those keywords. This enables internet users searching those keywords to find your business when they search that keyword.

I’m trying to keep this down to the basics, but there’s really a LOT to know here, and a considerable learning curve. Things like the length of the posts, the content, the keywords, the titles, the time period between posts and many other factors are relevant and important in the art of blogging. I will be posting more articles on this subject, but this should get you started at least understanding why blogging is important and how it is important.

Submitting your website to directories is a really important part of website marketing and is a great way to get links back to your website, and to increase your search engine rankings.

How do Directory Submissions work?

There are many thousands of directories, both general and niche-specific, free and paid. What industry your in determines, in part, which directories we submit your website to. It’s important to know which directories are more valuable, which are more established with better reputations, which delete links after a year and which don’t.

What is “Blog marketing”?

Blog marketing is internet marketing using blogs. Blogs are websites which contain dynamic content and are routinely updated with new content such as articles, photos and/or videos.

The Dream Team will research your industry extensively, and then submit YOUR blog to over 200 websites to get your blog listed there. Don’t have a blog? That’s totally fine. We will create one FOR you at no additional charge, put it on the server/hosting of your choice, and even instruct you how to run your blog.

Ideally you already have your own blog set up that you’re using, but we feel it’s so important that, even if you don’t, we will take care of all of that for you at no additional cost.

Why is blog marketing important? Blog marketing gives you the upper hand with your competition. This is because most other companies don’t even know about blog marketing, and even if they do, they most likely don’t know how to use their blog correctly to increase the traffic to their company. Blog marketing gets you traffic and it helps get you listed in search engines. There is no substitute for correct blog marketing. It makes a very big difference that you will certainly see if you use the Dream Team’s services.
