Does A Blog Help You Out?

    Hello All!!

    Being somewhat of a newbee. I am to the point where I need to start thinking about Blogs.

    First of all does having a Blog help you out with Google

    Second do I have to start my own blog or can I use someone else in my niche?

    Hi - Search Engines love blogs, so yes they do.

    You ideally would want to start your own blog. But you can use free blogs to begin with, but it is not recommended.

    A blog can help you in 2 different ways. A blog hosted on your own domain will cause Google to view your website as one with fresh content, and as a result you'll get better placement. A blog located away from your domain with a link to your main website will provide backlinks, if done correctly. Either way you win. :)

    When blogging... do some quick searches to find out the "hot" things of the day. Blog about those... you're likely to be found on the search engines. One of my highest hitting posts was written about a year ago (or more) and was written about some controversial things. Best blog post I ever made.

    Google constantly advises you to think user and I think if you think users will like your blog, visit and read it often, then chances are they will link to it and that would help you with SEO. But there are sometimes where blogs hurt you. For example, I used to work for freecreditreport.com where where we added a blog to increase organic traffic but it turned out that it was somehow hurting the conversion rate because it turned out that people were more reading than buying.

    Also you want to look at ROI. You must write quality content for your bogs and if you are limited in resources and that is going to take you away from doing other more important stuff then a blog may not be such a good idea yet.

    a good way to make some money blogging is to write about what a lot of people are searching that day. for example, if Jersey Shore premiers or something just write up a review or whatever you thought of the show and make it keyword dense. If you SEO your blog you can start getting traffic right away.

    Blogging can certainly help with SEO but make sure you are willing to commit the time to updating your blog. Current information is important if you want to be recognized by the search engines. It helps to pick a niche that interest you so you can blog about something you know about or want to learn more about.

    Most of the webmasters earn money through their blog, apply adsense, sell ad spaces; lots of option there but stick with your goal...

    Thanks for drawing my attention to this point. I am also considering starting a blog on my own website to get it better rankings. Its an important SEO tool and if it works can bring you real traffic. Overall I do agree that blogs greatly help with rankings as Google loves fresh content. But we have to keep in mind that the posts must be original and quality posts offering some real information. And yeah even I feel that to constantly update my blog it might take my time away from other important stuff. For this I recommend hiring a freelance writer who can do it for you.

    Having a blog definably can add more traffic, my favourite free ones are wordpress and google blogger (make sure they visible to the SE's), list it with all the top blogger directories (SE friendly ones) add content at least three times a week and away you go!
