22. Why small businesses should use blogs to increase profits!

Thursday, October 27th, 2011

You might wonder what benefit could come from writing a bunch of words on a blog site which has sometimes uninteresting topics. But what started out as a virtual diary has now become a multi-million pound sensation that it is an essential part of search engine-giant Google when it comes to search engine optimization (SEO). Making it to the top 10 page rankings in Google translates to significant revenues each month in revenues and if you think about it all you did was sit on your computer and write blogs. There are over 112 million blogs currently used for SEO purposes for which thousands of small businesses benefit from and you can choose to setup your own blog site or do guest blogging. However, I would recommend guest blogging because you’ll be able to link your site to other sites which will be a lot more beneficial to you.

Here are the 5 reasons why you should do blog or guest blogging:

  1. Increase Website Traffic – guest blogging means that you’ll post blogs on blogs and social media sites then optimizing it with keywords and linking your site to the keyword. You’ll have a double or triple URL tracking because the site where you posted your blogs to will build their page rank along with your backlink and you’ll be doing the same with your own site. Thus increase traffic to your site exponentially.
  2. Ideal for SEO – Google allows anyone to build their ranks by submitting articles and URL links to Google build my rank (BMR), Google Adsense and Google Adwords.
  3. Build Your Reputation – When you attempt to draw more traffic to your website you’re also making a name for yourself and the more you expose yourself, the more reputation you gain.
  4. Social Media Marketing – You can also create your extension page on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and many others. You can invite more people then to visit your site, become members and even make purchases.
  5. Other Benefits – there are more benefits that may come than the ones already mentioned just like other businesses that will eventually want to advertise on your site, collaborate with you to mutually benefit altogether, and more.

Now you can get started with your online small business and who knows maybe even watch it grow like the other internet giants.
