Blog Posting Services

Blog posting not only helps bring natural, organic traffic directly to your site, it also helps with your site's search engine results page (SERP) as well. Of course, the higher your website ranks in those results, the more likely searchers are to click your link. That's why high placement is imperative.

The way blog posting services work is to hire a professional writer (us)  to create quality content that is relevant to your site. Using relevant keywords in the article as anchor text with backlinks to your website, the articles are then submitted to blog sites. When readers click on the embedded links, they will be directed to your website, thereby increasing traffic. These backlinks will also be recognized by search engines, which will help boost your site's ranking in the search engines exponentially.

Blog Designs 4 Less provides professional blog posting services in addition to a number of other services which will greatly enhance your website's search engine ranking and overall visibility. We take a multifaceted approach to achieving the desired results, which begins with a detailed analysis of your website. This analysis will determine your targeted keywords which we will use to create high quality content that is relevant to your website.

What is Blogging?

What is Blogging?  Blogging is the act of posting content on a blog (a Weblog or online journal) or posting comments on someone else's blog.

Why Blogging is so Popular?
Blogging is very popular today because it allows people to interact with each other. Blogging has also become a popular search engine optimization (SEO) tool because search engines like Google and Yahoo know that a blog is frequently updated with content or visitor comments, so their spiders visit blogs frequently looking for new content to include in their index.

Additionally, blog content can be delivered automatically via electronic RSS (Really Simple Syndication) data feeds. Visitors subscribe to a blog's feeds in order to stay up to date with content that's being posted on subjects that interest them. Blog feeds are then read by what's known as blog feed reader software, widely available for free, so users can scan for recent blog posts of interest on the blogs to which they subscribe.

Using Blogger for your Organization's Website

Blogger is a hidden gem in the area of website development, providing advanced services for customers at a greatly reduced cost. Behind every Blogger blog is built-in Content Management System (CMS) functionality which provides for most customer needs where a unique CMS is unnecessary. 

With the added benefits of Google-backed hosting, built-in security and an easy to use editor, it further lowers the learning curve for any customer's management of their site while being feature rich, intuitive, and customizable. As these services are provided by Blogger without cost, there is already a significant return on investment before any custom templating or other advanced development services are required.

Blogger can easily be used to create the “standard” 5 page corporate website, but a Blogger solution can also be used to great effect to engage a company's customers and fans. Using the native blogging functionality, it can alert your customers to new products, services and events, establish you as an expert through informative articles, showcase your achievements, and even make your business more approachable by highlighting your friendly and knowledgeable employees.

5 Tactics to Promote a Business Blog

Relevant, Consistently Updated Content + Flawless Technical Functionality & User Experience = Perfect Blog Launch.  What’s missing from the equation above? You guessed it: blog promotion.
Creating a glitch-free blog with informative content means next to nothing without attracting readers.
Start promoting your blog today with these five effective tips:

1. Involve influential industry bloggers.

By linking to popular blogs, you can gain the attention of both the influential blogger and his or her readers.  But your blog won’t be the only one to benefit. You’ll be giving the other blog a little link juice – and be paying them a compliment at the same time.
Try out a few of these ideas for leveraging other blogs:

• Create a post around an interesting concept published by an influential blogger: Be sure to attribute the information to the blogger and link to his or her post. And don’t forget to offer additional unique insight to make the post your own.
• Interview an influential blogger and turn it into a Q&A post: That blogger is sure to link to your post, and his or her readers are likely to visit your blog as a result. Side benefit: Including the insight of a thought leader will help position you as a thought leader as well.
• Create a list of influential blogs: Include popular blogs from your industry, and include a link, short description and even a screenshot. Online Marketing Blog has successfully done this with its BIGLIST of online marketing blogs. Publish a blog post each week highlighting one or two new blogs to promote the list and acquire another link to the list.

2. Promote your blog via social media.

If your organization already has a solid presence on Twitter, Facebook or other social media channel, leverage your followers or fans to promote your new blog.  For example, when a new post goes live, create a short tweet with a link back to the post – and provide the link on your Facebook fan page.
A few tips to keep in mind:

• Whenever possible (we know how quickly 140 characters can be used up!), include the blog name in tweets and other social media messages.
• Auto-feed new posts to your social media accounts with tools like FeedBurner. But if you choose this option, make sure your headlines are as compelling as possible for social media.
• Maximize promotional efforts by asking employees to add the blog URL to their signatures and personal social media accounts. Employees can also re-tweet posts that they find interesting.

3. Create “link-bait” posts and “sticky” headlines.

Creating compelling headlines or posts that resonate with social web users is another way to garner attention for your new blog.

Try some of these ideas:

• Write counter-intuitive posts – i.e, “The 10 Worst Online Marketing Ideas” or “The 5 Quickest Ways to Get Caught in the Spam Filter.”
• Incorporate celebrities into posts (if appropriate for your industry) – i.e., “Top 10 Celebrity Tweets of the Week”
• Leverage the sticky headline formula, “number + adjective + sticky message” – i.e., Lee’s recent post, “10 Must Read Tips to Start a Small Business Blog” (see image below)

• 4. Promote the blog on your corporate website.

  It’s important to gain some valuable real estate on the homepage of your corporate site – particularly in the early stages of getting a new blog up and running. Create a button with a link to the blog to appear on the homepage, or at the least provide a link to the blog in the nav. Blog Design 4 Less does a good job of promoting its blog on the homepage of its corporate website.

• 5. Promote the blog offline.

  For all of the online channels available to promote your blog, there are just as many offline channels to leverage. Don’t limit yourself to the online world. Instead:
  
• Add your blog URL to business cards.
• Promote your blog at industry events.
• Get print publications to pick up blog posts.
• Use word of mouth to let customers and business partners know of the new blog.
• Include the blog URL in the boilerplate of press releases (and in online releases, too).

Of course, these five tips are just a few of many ways to promote and market business blogs. Whatever promotional efforts you choose, look for tactics that will help you reach business goals whether they are increasing awareness, garnering buzz in the media or driving additional website traffic.

8 Ways to Make a Blogger Blog Look and Act Like a Website

Does your Blogger blog look too "blog-like" for your tastes? Here are some tips to make a Blogger blog look and feel more like a full-service website:

1. Buy a custom domain name and point your account to it. 

Instead of having your URL be www.yourwebsite.blogspot.com, you can have your URL be a more professional www.yourwebsite.com. You can buy a custom name either at a domain registration site or through Blogger (for less than $10 a year). Either way, set up the name by going to Settings --> Publishing ---> Publish on a custom domain. You can choose either to register with Blogger or you can use another registration site (if you do, follow the "Switch to advanced settings" instructions).

2. Play with the advance layout options to customize the look of your site.
Blogger has a fair variety of templates for your site. They aren't as snazzy as Wordpress templates, especially the premium (paid ones), but they are fully customizable. Here are three easy things to do:

• Add a custom header.  At the "Layout" page, click on the Header box and add your own custom header image.
• Add a custom background. Go to "Template," click "Customize," and pick a basic template to start. Click the "background" link to add a custom background. 
• Add custom details. Go to "Template," click "Customize," and start playing with all the details of each element of your blog. Here's an example of changing the various colors of links:

How to Use a Blog to Promote Your Business

Blogs offer an inexpensive and relatively easy way for you to gain visibility for your business, and to interact with your current and prospective customers. Your blog also helps keep your web presence fresh. Even if most of your site has evergreen content, your blog can provide a steady stream of new (and keyword-rich) content that helps draw new visitors and pique the interest of repeat visitors.

When you blog for business, you essentially have a blank slate on which to etch the personality of your company and your brand. Here’s how to use it to the greatest advantage:

Plan Your Content

Your blog has to be current to be valuable. When your most recent post is dated more than a month ago, you’re in trouble. Nip this problem in the bud by creating an editorial calendar. Map out how many posts you’ll do per week, and decide what general topics you’ll tackle. Of course, your calendar doesn’t need to be set in stone. If something interesting or timely comes up, feel free to swap out topics. The calendar will give you something to fall back on when you’re not feeling quite as inspired. And it will hold you accountable to a deadline.

Write About the Super 7

Several types of content are particularly well-suited to company blogs. Remember, you have much more control over the content of your blog than you do via other social media channels. Use it to your advantage with these 7 content strategies:

1. Promote new products and services
2. Position you as an expert (i.e., offering tips, advice, and guidance to readers)
3. Announce new or recently completed projects, launches, etc.
4. Share flattering stories about your company (for example, how you went out of the way to provide great service)
5. Answer customer questions
6. Publicize accomplishments, awards or industry recognition
7. Advertise job openings

Plant Those Keywords

When you’re planning out your content, keep keywords in mind. All content on your blog, from your titles to your tags, should be optimized with keywords. Spend some time researching popular keywords in your industry (Google Insights  is a handy tool for finding good keywords) and sprinkle them liberally throughout your content. For help with keyword research and search engine optimization for your blog.

Submit to Search Engines

Well-placed keywords will get you more clicks–if you’ve submitted your blog to relevant search engines. Submit your blog’s URL to Google, Yahoo,  Bing, and Technorati . In some cases, you’ll need to create a free account to complete the submission process.

Link to Other Blogs

See a post on another blog that you find useful? Talk about it on your blog and post a link to it. Be sure to comment favorably on the original post and include a link back to your blog. It’s a good way to entice readers to check out what you’re saying about the topic. When you link, set a trackback or a pingback. These are special types of links that automatically inform another blog owner that you’ve linked to his/her blog. Usually, a trackback URL to your blog will appear with your comment. Many blogging software's let you set trackbacks fairly easily, or automatically.

Write a Guest Post

Find a heavily trafficked blog that’s related to your area of expertise and offer to do a guest post. Popular blogs are often hungry for fresh voices and perspectives. (As a courtesy, should also extend an offer to the blog owner to write a post for your blog.) When selecting a blog to guest post for, look for ones that concentrate on separate but related fields to yours. For example, if you’re a real estate agent, find a home improvement blog and write a post about the “5 Home Improvement Projects that will Increase Your Home’s Value.”  Make sure to include a trackback (see above) to your blog and website.

Integrate with Other Social Media Channels

Every time you publish a post, put a link to it on all of your social media channels; especially Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Or automate the process by connecting your accounts. (For more about how to do this, join PowerUp; our free email curriculum includes helpful tips on automation as well as overall social media strategy, planning, content and more.)

To Blog or Not to Blog?

A blog, originally called a "weblog", is a chronological online journal.  In a business setting, blogs are best used to provide valuable information to consumers on subjects relevant to the product or services being offered.  

For instance, an auto insurance agent could use a blog to offer safety tips to drivers, what to do in the event of an accident, and so on.  

By providing information that is directly relevant to your companies services and products, you are providing keywords to search engines that potential customers search for when shopping for your services.  In addition, keeping fresh content on your website is one of the most effective ways to increase your page ranking with search engines.
 
How to Start a Blog:
 
Contact us.  Blogs are another way to brand your company or service.  Therefore, to receive the most benefit from a blog, it should be integrated within your website.  The blog should have the same domain name and the same look and feel as your current website.
There are several blog products available.  We like to use Word Press or Google's blogger. At onAco Services, we offer affordable blog design services using either service.
