Hello,

I see that a lot of people recommend to have a blog on our website for seo.

What are the benefits of adding a blog to a site? Will this help me drive traffic to my site?

Best regards,

  • This is a good way to post unique content easy just by posting a new article in the blog. Just be sure to have a link back to the main website.
  • Yes, it has value. You can publish a post each week which will get your readers to your website. This way also you can drive traffic. But concentrate on creating a good quality content. Google likes content in websites. Of course they should be good content in order not to harm your website.
  • Having a blog for your website or business can give you a platform to add new content whenever you want and of course that helps with SEO. You can either add a blog on site or start a new domain and link to your own website.

      It's a good way to make thin sites more thick as you can place links from the blog to other sections of your site (that you like to see ranked) and thus increase the relevance.

      Few things to take into account:

      - categorize it well

      - make the posts a little more then boring laps of texts, use bullet points, sharing buttons, images, video's and whatever else you can think of.

      - make the blog well accessible from your site and don't host it on a sub domain as that's treated as an individual entity and won't help your site much.

  • 1) It helps attract new and retain existing visitors
    2) A piece of quality content can be a conversion machine. Quality content helps convert the visitors into customers.
    3) There're more options to promote content than product/services
    4) Search engines like the site with rich and unique content
    5) Quality content may earn quality links, which in turn increase your site authority.
  • Ok, thank for your answer! I'll set it up as a subfolder then
  • If you have blog in your website then you can post/share your company/product/services related content to others. You do not need to take others Free/Paid content sharing platform. Blog help to improve your internal linking and traffic.
  • Put your Wordpress blog on a subfolder, not a subdomain, so that Google will treat it as part of your main site. Then update your blog daily for the first few weeks. Once Google realizes you have new content regularly, they will be back quickly to crawl new content. Just be sure what you're saying on your blog is worth reading; that usually means longer and more detailed content.
