In this article I'm going to give you six ways that having a blog helps your website. There are a lot more reasons tostart a blog, but this article has to do with the benefits to your website.
1. A blog on the same domain name, (as part of your website like yourdomainname.com/blog) can help you add fresh content to your website without having to know html. Fresh dailyor even weekly content can keep the search spiders coming back more often. Writing your blog posts on the topics or search terms you want to be relevant for helps as well. Each blog post becomes another webpage targeted for your keywords.
2. A blog on the same domain name will also help you increase the number of pages that are included as part of your website. Content is king and having a tonof relative content will increase your chances of drawing visitors to your website.
3. A Blog on the same domain name or on a subdomain of your domain name or even one that is on another domain name can help you reach out to potentialand existing customers with special offers, information, surveys, and more. You can add sales offers on the fly without having to call your web designerto add it for you.
4. A blog on a subdomain like blog.yourname.comis another way to go. Subdomains in most cases are treated as a separate domain name, yet can bring yourname.commore traffic as well. Here link popularity also kicks in a little. You of course link to yourname.comfrom blog.yourname.combut you can also trade links with other blogs but have them link to yourname.cominstead of blog.yourname.com. Those links will be treated as one-way-inbound-links and that helps your page rank, but also brings you more traffic.
