What To Blog?

Content Is King ! ! !

This refrain has been sung a lot lately, especially since the infamous Google updates.  Many website owners got hit because they relied more on keyword stuffing than on solid content.

The web has been and will continue to be an information medium.  Yes, there’s a lot of money changing hands in ecommerce and that continues to grow – but the bottom line is that information on products, services and companies is the most important part of any website.  So how’s your site doing?

Are you treating visitors like an information gatherers or as “now” buyers?

No, that isn’t a misprint.  New content is the critical component to a successful site.  One that maintains it’s rank or moves up in ranks is being refreshed on a consistent basis.  This is where your blog comes into play.  It’s a great medium for producing new, interesting, unique content where your prospects and customers can get to know you better. Since it needs to be done regularly it feeds the criteria for New Content.
