5 Blogging Facts – 5 Minutes With Charles #9. So as a follow-up to the previous article and video, Create A Solid Foundation, you need to know some facts about blogs. But first thing first, if you don’t have a business blog, you may want to get one. Also, if you have one but don’t add content often, you may wish to rethink that too.

In the words of Google, if you have a website but don’t blog, consider creating one. Because a business blog is a great way to connect with people that are interested in your products or services. Plus, they are easy to create and update with rich and useful content.

Creating great content

Write great stuff and do it often. Because a frequently updated website encourages people to come back for more. But only if your content remains engaging and is relevant to their interest or needs. Also, it is better to only post a few times a week with awesome content as opposed to daily crap.

Follow Google’s Webmaster Guidelines. So that when it comes to images, videos, and other rich media, you’re not missing important ingredients. Additionally, when it comes to building your search engine ranking and links back to your website, you’ll want to follow the rules.

Organize your content with labels and tags. Because it makes it easier for visitors to your site to navigate to something of interest. So the same goes for search engine spiders as well.
