This is a good explanation of the benefits of blogging. You hear it once, you hear it twice, but this is a very nice piece on the why and where. Matter of fact, I might reread it a few times along with you to make sure I get it all down!

Blogging Is Good For SEO

How many times have you read or heard someone tout that blogging is great for SEO? I would say I hear it about 3-4 times a minute! LOL - Anyways, why is blogging so great for SEO? To all of you that say it, can you explain it? I'll try my best here and if you have anything else to add, please leave me a comment and an example of how you walk the walk.

Content Is The Lifeblood Of SEO

Blogging allows you to update and add content very easily. If you're new to SEO, your first lesson is to understand that without content you can't rank. Want to rank for a subdivision in your area in Google?

Well, you better have some content related to that subdivision. Adding a blog post detailing the subdivision, local amenities, restaurants, and such will help with SEO. So rule #1:

Blogging is great for SEO because SEO is all about content!

Walking the walk - Here are some examples of subdivisions blogs I've written that rank well:


Google Rankings Going Up!
The Primary Function Of SEO Is To Rank Better

Blogging allows you to rank better, faster, and more.
  • How do you rank better? Blogging allows you to link to content within your website or any other platform you want to rank. As you notice in my paragraph above, I just linked out to 4 posts with my desired anchor text. This will tell search engines to rank my pages better.

  • How do you rank faster? Search engines crawl blogs that are frequently updated with lightning speed especially if you have your blog setup on a ping service. And just like your mom used to tell you when you were younger, the early bird gets the worm. The first content about a story usually stays towards the top once it's crawled.

  • How can you rank more? A blog allows you to rank multiple times for a single keyword phrase. Blogging on ActiveRain, your Wordpress blog, and your self hosted blog is a great strategy to rank #1, #2, and #3 for a certain keyword. Dominating a search result gives you more chances to convert a potential client. 
Blogging is great for SEO because SEO is all about ranking better!

Walking the walk - Here is how I use blogging for better, faster, and more rankings:
Not convinced that blogging is good for SEO and your business? Well, I don't know what else I can do. I guess you'll just be another agent asking why their business is disappearing. I can tell you why, it's because the agent in your area that is dominating Google is taking your business before you ever had a chance. Na na na!
