Once again, because blogging makes it easy for you to continually update your website without mucking around with FrontPage or DreamWeaver, you will save time and energy publishing to Internet. 3.) Just For Fun, And To Be Cool Let's face it, a large part of reason you're wondering about blogs is because it sounds cool, right? And new stuff is fun. So why not try it just because? Sometimes it's enough to try something because it stretches you, keeps you limber and awake to possibilities. There's nothing wrong with playing, UNLESS you fool yourself into thinking your business is improving, or you're somehow paying mortgage while you play. Rest easy, there's no pressure to get a blog. Not getting one won't negatively impact your bottom line. So although technology can be entrancing, stay focused... what are you selling to who? How is it going? That said, do stay curious about new technology. Part of your chosen profession as an online biz owner means modeling for others by staying abreast of new things. With that in mind, see some fun blogs at blog search engine:http://www.blogsearchengine.com/

The benefit for you is provision of quality content on your web site, attracting targeted visitors via inbound links from search engines. The benefit for author of article is their name and URL in resource box (or 'author bylines'), which builds up targeted traffic to their web site, and builds up their 'brand' and online credibility. Here are just some places where you can find articles to quickly put up at your web site: 1. http://articlecentral.com 2. http://goarticles.com 3. http://ideamarketers.com Invite Content Add a page to your web site where you invite your visitors to submit their content, in return for a link back to their own web sites. This will give you a steady stream of content you can choose from, and save you time in searching for it elsewhere. As a twist on this, if you create original content on your own site, make it easy for visitors to use it on their own sites - remember, many of your visitors will be actively or passively looking for content for their own web sites. Just make sure they always include a link back to your site in return, so that you stand to benefit too. Over time, as well as increasing amount of content on your own site, providing your content to others will gradually but significantly increase your traffic levels, and is far more effective than more popular 'link swapping' craze, that usually just leaves your link sitting unclicked in an unvisited links page. The common phrase is that 'content is king' - Internet is a content-driven medium, and more successful web sites are those with best content. By using some of techniques above, you can increase amount of quality content on your site with minimum amount of effort and expense.
