Do you think that blogging is a good way to promote other businesses? I think that in today's market you should be able to get quality links for a reasonable price.

As far as other businesses are concerned .. I'll say ..yes ..you can promote it ..but writing reviews on your blog can make your blog week!! ..blog is to share views not to advertize..no?

Yep, I agree that, even if you go for review, it should be original mixed up with both positive and negative review.

From a blogger's point of view, I think its ok so long as the review is subjective, like a press release and you don't bluff by endorsing a product or service you've never used or heard of before.

Are you talking about other businesses that you may own or have an interest in? If so, I don't think this is a problem but I would be upfront and honest about from the get go.

I just try to put myself in my viewers seat.. would they enjoy visiting my page/blog? If I don't even think it's useful or beneficial myself.. why would I think anyone else is going to care? This goes for.. anything..

Yes.. I can't wait to get started trying that out. I mean more links can't really hurt.. unless you go about it really poorly.

i try it and its very useful... you can add some things that you can't add to your site... its like adding more details...

bochgoch · 10-03-2007, 10:19 AM

Reviews, new, opinions and writeup's are all good for promotion & blogs are great for all those things ... so yes blogging is a good way to promote business

There are tons of companies that you can hire to have bloggers write posts about your product, service, or website. Some can charge a lot per post.

I dont know if anyone has had success with this, but you can always write your own blogs for free on your own.

I think blogging is an effective way in promoting business coz through blogging you can build key relationships, and at the same time plugging your product, service, or business.

corlock · 10-22-2007, 09:22 AM

I'd say that its a very effective for promoting businesses. I tried it and found it very useful. Its proven.

scottdizzle · 10-28-2007, 02:06 AM

It can't hurt.. maybe you'll show up with more results in search engines for search terms you're trying to capitalize on

A weblog or a blog is a journal or newsletter that is often updated and intended for general public consumption. We use it to promote a client’s site because a blog can contain information that is instantly published to the web. One advantage of using a blog in SEO is that blogs could be used for link exchange transactions and link promotion. It helps SEO to give the prospect link exchange partner a choice for a 3-way link exchange rather than just a reciprocal link exchange.Since a blog contains articles which are related to the targeted keywords or related to the client’s site services and products, Blogging is a good way to drive traffic to your site. It is used for link exchange and link promotion which helps to find some potential three-way link exchange partner.

I use my blogs as funnels, where I can get a broad scope of essentially 'free' traffic from search engines and then channel them into my stores. For me, blogs are much easier to nail long tail keywords and bring in the scragglers that might otherwise have slipped away.

-!BAM!- that's when I got them and they WILL be buying something out of my stores. Works the same way with any business you are trying to push.

I could not have said it better myself.
