One of the easiest and most effective ways to boost traffic to your business website is through a blog. As discussed recently in an article blog, by Atlanta writing services company, Rapidus Media, blogs help position your company as an industry expert and keeps your business on the radar of current and potential customers. Here is a list of the best FREE blogs and sites and one to avoid when starting your business blog.
-Wordpress This is one of my favorite blog sites. It’s easy, free and has a simple but polished look. As a matter of fact, you will notice that this particular article was posted using this popular weblog.
-Zooloo This blog site gets high marks for its template graphics while still allowing easy user navigation. Additionally, you have the opportunity to create a website if you choose.
-Blogspot I have used this site as a personal blog for the past four years and recently for my Atlanta writing services company. One feature that I really like about Blogpsot is the URL friendly link and the fact that they are a well-established free blog community.
-Livejournal Again, easy account set-up and great features for the novice blogger.
-Blogdrive I really like this site for how simple it is to login. I haven’t tried uploading video or graphics yet, but have plans to test drive that feature sometime next week.
As for sites to avoid when blogging specifically about your business, you will want to avoid new kid on the blog, Thoughts.com. After embedding a link back to my own business site, my account and newly formed thoughts were deleted from theirs and the internet.
Also, and this is a BIGGIE. Be sure to write your blog in Word or pages format and copy and paste the text into your new post section. This will allow you to edit and most importantly, keep from losing your work as blog sites sometimes will time out and there may be a chance that all your hard work and effort is lost.
