Search engine marketers especially favour blogs because they have a number of
features that make them the darling of search engines.
1. Fresh, Updated, Relevant Content
When you write a good blog about a theme that you’re passionate about and
post to it frequently, you’re creating fresh, keyword-rich, content that search
engines love.
2. Natural, One-Way Links
Search engines view links to your site as a recommendation of your site
content. More links pointing to your site or blog boosts your visibility and
search engine rankings.
Google gives more weight to natural, one-way incoming links, and blogs make
it easy to get two types of one-way links to your site.
· Similarly Themed Blogs
A well-written, authoritative blog, with unique content, is likely to get
linked to from a number of other bloggers writing on similar topics. These are
natural links that are viewed highly and given more weight by search engines
like Google.
· RSS Feed Syndication
Blogs and the RSS feeds built into them, help you build valuable, one-way
links to your site by syndicating your content online.
3. Get Indexed Within Hours
When you post to a blog it “pings” a number of services that list blogs. This
notifies the service that your blog has been updated.
Search engines like Google give more weight to blogs that are updated
regularly. It is possible to get your pages indexed in Google and other search
engines within hours of writing your first blog post.
Compared to the time it takes to index a website (days, even weeks), you can
see why blogs are better search engine optimisation tools than static websites.
Indirect SEO Benefits of Blogs
Besides the SEO benefits, a well-written, authoritative blog can also create
publicity and branding for you, which promotes even more people to read and link
to your blog.
