- Hello. I’m Tierney Oberhammer, an online marketing specialist at Ajax Union. This networking event and blogging seminar is hosted by Ajax Union, and we hope you are having a great time and making connections. This short seminar is going to cover the basic of blogging. We will go over: What a blog is What a blog does Why you should have a blog How to maximize the success of your blog And how to track that success
- Let’s get started. A blog is a website like any other website. It has a URL and it is formatted using HTML Hypertext Markup Language, a standardized system for tagging text files to achieve font, color, graphic, and hyperlink effects on World Wide Web pages So, what’s the difference between websites and blog websites? Blogs get updated on a regular basis (or they should be) Regular websites don’t necessarily need to be updated. Blog stands for web-log – a blog is typically a log of something that is happening or something that you are doing Why should you blog? You have customers and potentials that want information. A blog is a great way to share with them and show that you are an expert in your field. It gives them a reason to trust you because you can show that you know what you are talking about. A blog is also an excellent way to generate links to your website – links are the foundation of SEO Does anybody know what SEO stands for? Does anybody know what SEO is? Your blog not only links to your site, but it links people to your site But generating worthwhile content, people will help do your linking for you. Also, the the purpose of a blog is the generation of fresh content. You ever heard the saying “Out of sight, out of mind?” Well, it holds true. If you want clients to remember you and use your products or services, you need to keep your website in their line of sight. Fresh content is key for SEO, too, especially now that Google has changed its algorithm to prioritize the freshest information. Google is catching up with Twitter on the importance of fresh content. Google has a special results section for blogs.
