Show me your blog!

[Mikey P]

If it's just a bunch of *** buzz words to boost your rankings, don't bother.


If it actually has content then whip it out!

As a customer I would be turned off by those lame blogs.


The name Blog alone is a blue baller.

 

[Mikey P]

That type of stuff is all good but I think real world helpful tips for your present and future clients would do YOU more good.


What do you think of my content?

I know I'm way behind the times, but what is a blog going to do for me?

I did see a couple of sites with blogs but they were really lame. That blog you have Mikey is deffinately well done.

http://www.truklean.com I have my blog set as my landing page for my domain, it is different then my home page.

A blog does boost your rankings. Just one more way to get key words and locations mentioned.

It also keeps the Google and Yahoo type bots coming back to your site.

A stagnant site wont get visited and tracked for long.

 

[Brian R]

I have pretty much just started a blog and yes, lame is probably the best way to describe it.
I will have to put some time and effort into it.

That's a good start Cork, now get some pics and vids in there to liven it up

 

[Brian R]

I'll work on that.

Content is king in the web... The blog itself doesn't necessarily boost your rankings, but it does help with many other things... it keeps your site from becoming "stagnant," a site that isn't updated has a very high risk of losing its ranking.

Also the great thing about blogs and the main reason to start one is link building. Increasing traffic, followers will return to your site for more information. In addition if you do social network marketing (twitter), it again will only help increase traffic.

Also some of the articles that you write on your blog, you may be able to submit them to article directories... and get a quality link (build page rank), submit to enough and you could potentially have a really good ranking. Or you could pay a service to submit your article to about 100 sites for roughly 30 bucks.

I like your quote page with the check marks.

Thanks! was my designer's idea... i really like your video. Really adds that extra umph!

We did a video, but was just thrown together just to have something to post into video sites (extra links). I may have to do a commercial style video after seeing yours!

For what my designer had to work with, i think he did a great job (i honestly wasn't expecting much as he pretty much did it for free). Here's the video if you'd like to see it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRCUq3m2rps

 

[Brian R]

Wow. That was like a scary movie trailer.
Pretty cool.

 

[aqualux]

haha ya, i gave him "free reign" to do since it was mainly just for link building and not necessarily company building.

[Hoody]

I'm not going to lie. I've read Mikey's blog and its pretty good. So I stole all his crap and rewrote it with more Jeff Cross'ism.

 

[Brian R]

Damn Hoodle.
That give me an idea.

 

[Hoody]

yea... you could read your competitions blogs and set yourself apart or something

Anyone out of my area who is a Supportive Member here has my permission to steal my Blog articles.

Mikey has this down really good. Blogs can be a huge asset.

An example of a blog that a client uses is this:

http://cargocontainernews.containersstorage.net/

Articles will be written for added content to the site but to also get rankings and provide some needed internal links.

Blogs are a FANTASTIC way to add content to your site and build more of a relationship with your client.

When you write a blog post you should have some sort of idea of what keywords you would like to target and blogs are GREAT way to target long tail keywords that can get you good traffic that might surprise you.

And EVERY post, if it is decent, should be social bookmarked. Those social bookmarks can get good rankings and drive traffic to your site that you might not otherwise get.

All sites should have blogs.

I wonder what Todd is using Cargo Containers for...

 

[Hoody]

To ship women from the Philippians to the U.S.

To ship women from the Philippians to the U.S.

Man, I had a really good reply to that but didn't want to get banned or the FBI called on me.

They can't take a joke.
