Having a blog is now recognised as a mainstream requirement for any online marketing strategy, working particularly well when run in conjunction with social media channels. Running a blog helps with SEO (search engine optimisation) because each post is treated as new content by search engines. New content is yummy food for search engine robots.

If your content is perceived as valuable and interesting your readers are likely to want to return to read more. Blogs that capture the imagination of a regular readership can be powerful tools for engaging with and broadening your customer base.

There are quite a few different ways to establish a blog and they are increasingly popular for business because of the recent changes in Google algorithms.  Google rank web pages based on a number of quality criteria and blog posts can provide much in terms of regular, fresh content.

This was a simple ‘straight out of the box’ installation, for a client who wanted a non-database driven website for his main content, for reasons of security.The blog is there to provide CMS functionality for staff to post updated news.  Unfortunately, pressure of work has let this blog slide into the backwaters.  But all that is to change in 2012, so I’m told.
