The most common question that is asked is how it can make the site more SEO friendly? Many company sites have great flash programs where a great deal of money has been spent on them to entertain visitors upon their arrival. While this looks great once it loads, the time it takes to load is a huge turnoff for prospective customers.

Because of this, Google has incorporated a new logarithm in their rankings that penalizes a site that takes too long to load. For this reason, it is not only recommended but highly encouraged that all flash be removed from the home page. This is the hardest thing to convince a client of doing, since most spent thousands of dollars on their flash program and for the most part, was a waste of money.

It is possible to have a link on the home site that gives the visitor the option of viewing the flash presentation, but this is it. The most beneficial link on the home site is the one that leads to the company blog.  Not only are there informational articles that help promote your products and site, but the links that the article campaigns establish all run from the company’s blog to the home site.

It is also possible to have a link on the articles themselves that directly go to the company’s main home page. This, along with a few other SEO techniques, help increase a company’s rankings on the search engine result pages. It is a cumulative effect of all the little things that a professional company blogger brings a company that pays the biggest dividends.

Only by having a company blog will your home site ever reach its fullest potential. Talk to a professional today and find out more.

Company Marketing Strategy: Do You Agree?

July 7th, 2010

The right company marketing strategy will help your establishment rise above the competition.  With TV and radio, a catch phrase or jingle that people hear sets in their brain and reminds them of certain products.

With the new medium of communication, the internet’s marketing strategies follow the same principles, they just accomplish them by other means. Many companies have used pop up ads in the past as an attempt to attract new customers. This method of promotions has had nothing but a negative effect on the target audience. Most people that encounter one just find a way to close it and not even give notice to what is being advertised.

There are other means of advertising, like the ones in the cyber papers where an ad pops up before an article can be read. These have the option to be skipped, and nearly all the time, this is what occurs.

What has been the most effective marketing tool is the company blog. This is a website where a company can not only promote their products and services but also inform their target audience on subjects that concern them. Giving out free and useful information that the public can use as a resource encourages them to visit the site repeatedly for more helpful hints. The more useful the site, the more visitors will talk about it. This is free advertising by credible sources.

A blog sponsored by a company will also be involved in an article marketing campaign that is designed to locate the target audience and give them a reason to visit the site. This is with informative, and sometimes, promotional articles.

With each sector of business and the companies within these sectors, the campaigns and ways to attract them vary. What they all do have in common is the funneling of traffic to the sponsor’s home site where purchases and greater exposure will occur.

A company marketing strategy for the internet must have a good return on investment, and that is what a company blog can provide. This is a new strategy for the new medium of communication that is now widely used by the consumers of the world.

Let us help you increase traffic to your company website with a 3rd Party Blog.

What is a Company Blog?

July 1st, 2010

Ever wonder what a company blog really is? Like most Americans, this sector of sites on the internet is new to them. Most consumers are use to only finding limited information about a company’s product on their home websites. This is because the home site is generally just a place where a purchase can be transacted.

A blog sponsored by a company is the new way to assist the consumer in finding out more information about particular subjects or products. This is the reason for the blogs, to inform the public. There are links to a company’s home site where a purchase can be made, but only a link.

The main focus of a company’s blog is to reach out to their target audience in the most cost effective manner possible. This is done by posting informative articles on the site that are then filed in specific categories. These articles are also the main mechanism used in the article campaigns.

These article campaigns are just one of the tools available to a third party blogger to get the message out about their sponsors company and their products. By posting informational articles on many sites across the internet a greater exposure is obtained.

Not only does a greater exposure occur with a company’s blog and the campaigns that are run supporting it, but also the advantages of the links that are established. These are high quality relevant links that not only make it easier for your target audience to find your home site, but the search engines love them.

Relevant quality links to a home site is what boast and maintains its ranking on the search engine results pages. The more links a site has, the higher in the rankings they are positioned in.

A company blog is the best mechanism to boost traffic and expose that which a company has to offer to the consumers that travel on the internet highway.

Third Party Blogs: What’s in it for My Company?

June 30th, 2010

The third party blogs are becoming more common, now that the benefits of a company blog are being realized as a true internet marketing mechanism. Just like when billboards were first introduced, then radio advertisements, followed by TV ads, each new communication medium has a new path for advertisers to get the word out about their clients. The company blog run by third party bloggers is the equivalent of this advancement for the internet.

Some do not realize it, but even Google has a company blog that posts informational articles on how to best use their systems and services. They are already the number one site on the internet and growing. The number of company blogs they have is over 10 at last count, each one with a different theme.

question mark image
Why would Google have multiple company blogs?  Simple, no one knows better than Google that people search by keyword phrases and the sharper line you can draw with your target niche keyword structure, the more traffic you will have.

Your company can do the same thing, depending on how large of a company you have and the different types of merchandise you have to offer. Smaller businesses usually need only one blog to reach out onto the internet, and connect to their target audience.  If you have multiple categories or niches, you should think about multiple blogs and third party blogs are perfect for this.

Just like the professional advertising agencies that make TV ads, the third party bloggers are the advertising agencies of the internet. They know where the target audiences can be located and how to attract them.

It is true that hiring a third party blogging company is a business expense for a company. The return on investment does vary, but is measurable. The biggest factor is if a company is willing to have the patience that is required to build up a following. This is a process that takes between 3 to 6 months before the full effect of the benefits can be seen and measured.

There are faster ways to get a blog to the top, but the search engines consider these tactics blackhat techniques.  We at 3rdPartyBlog.com only use tried and true and acceptable white hat promotions for our clients.  The question is what your long term goal is. Would you rather have a fast rise to the top of the rankings with the reward of a week of sales then getting banned for life, or a slow rise to the top that will permanently establish your site at the top?

The third party blogs are the route to take for long-term growth and exposure on the internet for any company that is going to maintain a presence in cyberspace.  Please use the contact form for more information, or the Request a Quote tab on this site.

Company Blog: There is No Debate

June 22nd, 2010

The debate about a company blog is over because its utilization has already been proven as an effective marketing tool. The biggest decision most companies now have is how to make the best use of this new avenue of marketing their product.

Some are giving the job to a younger member of the company, since they are more familiar with the internet as a whole. This is true since most youth are active in the many social sites and are very experienced at knowing how to find things on the internet. But being part of a target audience and attracting a target audience are two very different concepts.

One advantage these younger members of society have is that they know what attracts them and some of the advertising gimmicks that have worked on them. What they need to do is to be able to apply this to the target audience that pertains to the company and the products they produce.

Unfortunately, many companies are just looking for an employee that knows how to utilize the internet and not one with marketing skills for the position. Without the combination of both, the full potential of the company’s blog will not realized.

Knowing how to write properly SEO’d articles and then submitting them as part of an article marketing campaign is a necessary skill that must not only be known but have to be executed properly. This is part of how professional bloggers get the message that they are trying to convey out to the public.

Content has always been king of the internet, but increased traffic is how the surfing public becomes aware of the content a company posts on its site. A properly constructed and utilized blog is the best way to use a company blog to increase the traffic from the target audience to the home site of said company, that will increase sales and revenue of the business as a whole.

We Blog for You at 3rd Party Blog

June 14th, 2010

When we blog for you, your site will be constructed to maximize all known SEO techniques on the site so the greatest potential is released. With this properly devised site as a firm foundation, the marketing campaigns can be unleashed to attract the target audience you need to increase your revenue stream.

A firm foundation is necessary in any type of business venture, and the internet is no different. It is all about doing what you can to attract the search engine traffic. This is a very complicated process that not only takes a knowledgeable individual that knows what to do, but how to do it.

One of the reasons this is so difficult for the average website owner is because of how the search engines have evolved over time. In the beginning, there were not many sites and not a great deal of traffic on them. They pointed surfers in the right direction to finding the knowledge they were searching for. The search engine has evolved into the most used tool on the internet, with Google and Yahoo search engine sites being the most used of all sites on the internet.

To perform as the search engine visitors wish, the number of logarithm utilized by the site to locate the correct and most relevant websites has increased to over 200. With that many variables, most amateurs are not able to compete with the professional site builders anymore.

The professional bloggers can build a site that has the best chance of gaining the greatest exposure on the internet by utilizing content to build links. Links are like neon signs that the search engines see to categorize the different websites’ relevance to specific keywords. The posting of content and building links in large quantity is what a professional blogger can do for a company and its website.

This is what a professional means when they advertise “we blog for you”.

Company Blog Reaches Out

June 13th, 2010

The company blog is the most versatile tool a business’ advertising department can use to get the word out about the product and services their company has to offer. Unfortunately, it is being underutilized by a vast majority of businesses.

This is so because many do not realize its vast potential or they just simply do not know how to properly use it. A blog for any business is another tool, just like radio advertising and then TV advertising was in the past. The biggest difference is that company blogging has the capability of reaching millions of potential customers on a 24/7 time frame. This is not a 30 second slot that hopes to be  seen by the target audience.

A company or business blog is there ready and available any time of the day or night when the target audience is ready to read your message. Since this is a new form of advertising, most companies have little to no experience with it. Like with any other aspect of business, this is when a professional is hired to fill the need.

A company that can build a site and SEO it properly so it can reach the top of the SERPs is what is needed. Equally important and needed are professional copywriters that can write articles on any subject, and campaign marketers that know how to promote this type of article marketing campaigns.

Putting all of these professionals together is what a third-party blog is all about. They have a team of professionals that have repeatedly placed company blogs on the top of SERPs for the keywords their clients have requested.

Just like with your business, you are professionals in a particular field. It would not make sense to start building computers if your core business is painting homes. You do what you know best. Let others help you with what you do not know or have little experience with.

This is the fastest way to rise to the top ahead of your competition. The internet is here to stay and your company blog will be a vital tool in your exposure on it.

You need to click on the “Request a Quote” tab before your competition does.

A Company Blog is Needed

June 12th, 2010

When a company blog is properly used, the message that the business is trying to convey to consumers is easier to get across and be more accessible. This is because of the versatility of the blog itself. Unlike a company’s website that is static with very little new information, the blog is an ever changing information source.

By constantly adding new postings, visitors will have fresh new content to help them explore the possibilities the company and its business has to offer. In addition, the blog is the place an article marketing campaign can reach a larger audience. A good example is what it has to offer merchants.

A merchant generally sells items that are manufactured by a variety of other companies. Many specialize in a particular sector of commerce. With a properly constructed article campaign, a merchant’s company blog can attract the target audiences that are searching for information on the companies and merchandise of the products they are selling. This, at times, can rank even higher than the manufacturers’ websites.

An example would be a sporting goods site. By having articles written and posted about Rawlins gloves or the Louisville Slugger, the merchant’s blog site will receive some of the traffic intended for the manufacturer. By having quality information about the topic and items, the consumer would be more inclined to make the purchase from such a site.

It is all about establishing credibility with the target audience. Consumers have a tendency to make purchases from sites they feel comfortable with and trust. By providing informative data on an item or information that is supportive about the item, the readers will get the sense of comfort. It is a proven fact, a comfortable consumer spends more.

This is just one of the many ways a company blog can be utilized to expand a business on the internet.

Manage My Blog, the Question

June 10th, 2010

Can someone manage my blog for me? This question has been on the rise since many companies have discovered the need for a company blog but are not sure how to utilize it to its fullest potential. This is when a professional blogger can be most beneficial to a business.

Too busy to Blog

Too Busy to Blog

The professional blogger knows there is more to a company blog than just writing a few posts. The blog is the latest and best tool the internet marketer has at their disposal. This tool can be used to reach out to the target audience and guide them to the home site of the company that desires better traffic.

The driving of traffic can take many forms. The key to this is knowing the target audience and how to properly attract them. This will involve some type of marketing campaign. One of the most common is an article campaign.

The article marketing campaign is when a series of articles involving specific high traffic keywords are written and placed on a variety of places on the internet. This can be on social sites, forums, on other blogs or through an email campaign. It is all dependent on the target audience.

This is why professionals are needed for companies to run their blogs. Most companies do not have the time to determine the target audience and what will attract this audience to their site. They also are very busy running their business. Writing and posting the articles alone take a professional’s full time.

The proper running of a company blog is just as important as a restaurant having a clean and orderly appearance to it when customers come in the front door. First impression is everything and the company blog is, for many, the first exposure to a company that many encounter.

If you are one of the business persons asking the question; “How can I manage my blog?”, all you need to do is turn to the professional bloggers at 3rdPartyBlog.com so you can focus on running your business.
