3 Big Ways Blogging Helps Your SEO

In weeks past we’ve discussed dynamic search and display ads to help you stay up-to-date on the latest digital trends and buzz-words. Today we’ll depart from paid ads and turn our attention to search engine optimization (SEO) and one of its hot-button approaches, blogging.

These days SEO is content marketing. You can’t do SEO without content. No content? No rankings. And blogging is the cornerstone of good content development. Here are 3 big ways it plays a vital role …

More opportunities to rank and drive traffic. Each new blog post on your site creates a new page for Google to index and rank. And if you’ve done your keyword research, it could mean big traffic increases.

Connect with your audience. If you could buy from a dealer whose site has fresh and helpful content (e.g. an active blog) with tips, product reviews, etc. or one whose site appears to not have been updated in the last decade, who would you trust? It’s clear who Google would view more favorably!

Prove it
