A creative SEO approach
By MODintelechy / Marketing
After enormous growth in 2010, social media platforms have earned their place as a beneficial addition to the marketing mix.
But with all the emphasis on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn as the social leaders, there’s one vehicle companies seem to be overlooking: The Blog.
Blogging offers the ability to build an international network that follows and engages with your brand. It also offers a unique traffic source for your website.

Blogs are great at:
- Drawing new/unique visits to your website
- Optimizing search results
- Using natural keywords for your business or industry throughout your blog allows for greater traffic flow
- Using niche keywords will allow you to climb the search ranks and attract interested viewers (for example instead of a boutique using the keyword “purses” they could use the phrase “fabric embroidered purses in Austin”
- Real-time results
- Blogs that use Google or WordPress platforms are often rapidly indexed—that means your posts are found almost immediately after they’re published
- Raising your Quality Score
- Search engines rank websites on what’s called a quality score. This score is determined by the amount of unique content on a site. This means if you’re blogging even just a couple times per week, you’re putting out a great deal of content that helps boost your score.
