With Facebook and Twitter, Do You Still Need Blogging?

Many clients are now investing time and money on keeping Twitter and Facebook updated so with all of that do you still need your blog updated? Absolutely!

If your blog is installed under your own domain and resides on your website server then adding to your blog benefits the organic placement of your website as you build blog content. Twitter and Facebook are important ways to engage customers, search engines are starting to look at your activity on these networks as part of their SocialRank scale which impacts organic placement, but activity on these platforms does not build website content like blogging does.

When it comes to choosing where your money is best spent to improve organic search placement I like blogging best, then Facebook and finally Twitter. I place Facebook above Twitter as Facebook is where your prospects are spending a significant part of their time and I feel it is important to engage them where they are active.

Although SocialRank does not carry the same weight in organic placement as PageRank, both Google and Bing are actively now monitoring SocialRank. I feel that over time the activity you have on Facebook and Twitter will become more important in affecting your organic placement and where you appear in personalized search results.

In fact for national businesses involvement and engagement on Facebook and Twitter may be key to mitigating the focus of localize search results in organic placement that Google and Bing are both pushing at this time. I say that as search results are now personalized and focus heavily on showing results in your geographic area, but also include a social component where personal connections and interconnections are a factor of the results you see as well.

We invite you to find our more about our services for blog writing, Facebook updates, and Twitter writing if you have a need.

When Does Blogging Work For You?

This is my candid opinion, blogging works best when WordPress is installed on your website server under your website domain in a folder called blog with a URL that looks like this: http://www.MyDomain.com/blog.

Any other variation does not give you the links or SEO juice that you want and need. So what do I mean by SEO juice.?Well here’s just one example in regard to inbound link generation. We’ve been blogging for a client for about one year three days a week. I was just in on the Google Webmaster control panel and Google is showing that 500 sites are linking in to his blog.

Linking in is one of the really big perks that blogging consistently delivers for a website. Here are some other success stories: for another site there are 1,400 sites linking to the blog, for another 537, and for my own website I have 2,413 sites linking to my blog.

Blogging is just incredibly useful when it comes to getting links back to your website the best part is that if you have good blog content the links all happens on their own without your involvement. But, you only get the benefit of the links by having your blog properly configured as in the first paragraph.

Links are just one of the factors that help with organic search engine placement. Blogging is very effective when it comes to improving organic search placement by increasing the number of website pages, keyword density, and inbound links.
