My 2 Cents

Now the subject of this message sounds like spam, but it’s not. Being in the Web Hosting industry one of the most common questions I get is “How can I get more traffic to my website” and after playing around with blogging for a couple months now I have to say that the best answer I can give is. “Start a blog!”.

The fact is if you’re hosting a website you are either
1. an expert in your field
or
2. Extemely interested in the subject of your website.

Either way a blog gives you the opportunity to keep continually fresh content on your site, to show off what you do know in your field and to give a level of interactivity to your visitors with very little effort.

I recommened posting new articles on your blog at least once a week to keep it fresh in the search engines and to keep visitors coming back to your site. The fact is that in many industries people don’t buy on their first visit to a site but will buy after repeated visits to the site. If you are publishing articles of interest there’s a good chance that people will visit your site repeatedly.

If you’re in the Clarksville Area you can publish a blog at http://blogs.clarksvilleinfo.net for free! If you’re not in the Clarksville Area you can go to wordpress.com for a hosted blog solution or if you’re more technically oriented you can download the word press software at http://www.wordpress.org and host your own blog.

Thanks for coming to my blog!
