Blogs – No miracles

Is blogging a good way for website promotion?

Many articles said so. But there is no miracle for such kind of thing. Blogs are just blogs. They are websites too. Some people may get good traffic from blogging. It is not because they write blogs. They may talk about hot topics. They may have good fames. They may use effective platforms to spread their information. Their blogs may be ranked high in search engines.

Having a blog will not give you good quick traffic. Good promotion strategies do. As the same to regular websites, you got to promote your blogs too.

I'm not saying blogging is not a good thing. Blogs do have some advantages. At least blogging is relatively new things in this virtual world. Search engines love it and treat it differently. People love it. As a trend, there is no good not to catch it. It gives you different chance to expose yourself.

Unlike regular websites, people can find your new post immediately after you publish it. Search engines index new blogs much quick than regular websites. For my website MaPaGuides, Google took two weeks to index it. But it took only two days to index this blog after I published the first post.

When I check the SEO score of my first post in this blog, it got 69, which is higher than that of my website MaPaGuides (currently it drops to 32 after modification) even having less inbound links. But both of them have very poor traffic (less than 5 unique visitors/day).

Another good thing of blogs is that you can build links to your websites as you wish. Many people may use blogs for this purpose. But will this give your websites good ranks in search engines? You betcha.
