Blog presence on the Web today,
Your blog presence is key to your business in today’s world , Do you have a blog presence on the Web today? There are many people in the world who assume that if it’s not found on the internet, it just doesn’t exist. Because of this phenomenon, most businesses have been forced to build some sort of web presence to represent there company.
This is great, but having a web presence does no good if no one can find your blog to visit it.
So just how do you get traffic to your blog?
There are a lot of ways to do this, including but not limited to: advertising (print, radio, banner ads, pay per click ads, linkbacks, and more), word of mouth, blogging, and a ton of others. However, one of the most effective ways to gain traffic, while also marking yourself as an expert in your field, is to publish articles – web content articles.
Just what can web content articles do for you? First and formost you are read when people see you as an expert in your field. Second, each article you write will have your main keywords in the article along with links to your site. Structured correctly your readers are going to want more of what you have to offer. At this point they will follow the links to your site and peruse your other articles.
If you have built your site well you will have a place that your visitors can sign up to get your on going writing. Also things you may be giving away. This is a process and does not happen over night regardless what you see on the internet.

A good article foundation takes a while to build. Once you have your list of people that come back to read what you have to say, you can begin slowly to show them the thing you have to sell. It does not matter whether it is a service or a product, people will not purchase from you until they trust you. This is built over time by teaching them the things they want to know about in your articles for FREE.

Hi Ross ~ You make a really great point here about how to “get your blog” found…how to get it to show up in more searches. This is a concept that I have not yet been able to wrap around my head, meaning, I don’t quite understand the whole concept of keywords and placement within your posts and blog. The mention of article writing is huge though as I have several friends who regularly write articles for their niche, and have attributed this to more traffic to their blog/websites and opt-in leads…so I know this all works really well. One of these days soon I will seek out someone to ask specific questions about how to get my website and blog to perhaps show up more often in keyword searches. I appreciate you having shared this valuable info

Thank you for this. An excellent exploration of how article marketing works and why it’s so powerful. I must admit that I am not as prolific in writing articles for submission as I should be. I plan to rectify that though: it’s too important to leave off.

Hi Ross,
Great article. Of the marketing experts that I follow, most of them, like you, recommend article marketing.
This is going to be my next project after the one I’m currently on.
All the best to you and your lovely wife,
