Are You Blogging?

Blogging is arguably the simplest (& cheapest) way to start generating traffic to your website. It is extremely powerful and very easy to do. Whether you have a blog already, or aren't yet familiar with them, understand that they are a key factor in your online marketing.

Blogging is not only a great way to drive traffic to your site but is incredibly important in building your credibility and brand.

Some Benefits of Blogging:

Boost Traffic: Blogs and RSS feeds can make a positive change in your web traffic. By adding new content to your site on a regular basis, you ensure that the search engine's spider crawls your site more often.

Back Links: Through blogging, you can find a number of business partners together because people having different interests and thoughts are closely knit with each other.

Lower Costs: Blogging is a low-cost alternative to having a web site. Small business owners that don't have the time to learn web html or the money to hire a designer/developer, blogging offers an economical method to get your company's name out on the Internet.

Cheap Marketing: By Blogging you can raise your website profile and increase visits to your site.

So, are you blogging yet?  If not, you should be!

If you are writing content for real estate I would not call it blogging.... lets call it creating content. There is a big difference, just because you are using a blog type software for a real estate site, it does not make your site a blog... so don't treat it like a blog.

Sean - I don't see the big difference.

From Wikipedia

A blog (a contraction of the term "weblog")[1] is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Most blogs are primarily textual, although some focus on art (artlog), photographs (photoblog), sketches (sketchblog), videos (vlog), music (MP3 blog), and audio (podcasting). Micro-blogging is another type of blogging, featuring very short posts.

So, why isn't real estate content considered blogging?
