The Internet is changing, All of the search engines are putting less emphasis on static web sites that don’t have changing content to those that are dynamic and change regularly. Good news is you can do it for much less that before, however it does require much more of your time.
For blogging to be extremely effective but it needs to be done regularly. The best results come when you do it daily. It takes a lot of effort on your part but I know from experience it does work.
Here are a few of the thing I have done to promote my business on the web that can work for you as well.
Try joining BuyAlaska, it’s free, put it on your list of friends on your blog and update BuyAlaska daily, it only takes a few seconds. When you have your business and it’s URL listed on web sites that have high “Google” ranking, it lifts the ranking of your site. The same goes for joining your local Chamber of Commerce and having a hot link to your site. I have not got any business directly for either source, but they have been instrumental in how my web site ranks on the search engines.
Join social networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin. There is an addon you can add to your Wordpress Blog that allows you link your blog to any social networking site you wish. Again, this kind of linking helps your site rank higher on the search engines. Make sure your blog is attached to your websites URL not that of the blog site.
Web 2.o is the future of the Internet. It’s all about social networking, blogging. When the Interstates Highways started traversing our nation many businesses went under. The main road that carried vital traffic by their bussiness was now several miles away. Your static web site, without the adding of some kind of dynamic support, will be like having your business located on that old untraveled highway.
