Having a website isn’t beneficial if it lays stagnant. Search engines detect freshly added content and reward websites that do so on a regular basis.

Adding quality blog posts to your website offers more for search engines to index. Showing up on Google page one could potentially give you more customers, so writing a lot of posts can be advantageous to online promotion.

When writing on your blog, focus on positive aspects of your business and what makes you stand out over your competition.

Most small business owners don’t always have time to write on their blog or website due to the busy schedule of running a company, so I offer blog writing services to promote SEO for many websites online. I speak a language that your target market wants to hear and give your readers a reason to return on a regular basis.

This graph below demonstrates a steady increase in traffic for one of the websites I write for. The website visitor statistics steadily increased partially due to my blog writing service starting in July 2010 to now. Notice the impressive peak of over 1600 page loads in one single day just recently.

If you are interested in adding professional blog posts to your small business blog or website, contact me today for more details! If you don’t have a blog or website, I can make that a reality for you as well! Keep posted on my blog for more news, tips and advice concerning website design, blogging, and the internet in general.

I recently discovered a pleasant trend occurring in the statcounter statistics for the traffic on one of the websites I monitor and write for. From the graph on the left, (click to enlarge by the way) we notice the trend remained flat until shortly after I started writing for the website in June.

Before June the number of unique visitors peaked at around 50 per day where now the minimum per day is around 200, even peaking at 1,184 hits on March 21st. The key to acquiring more customers is building website traffic, and in this case I provide proof that blogging on a regular basis does just that.

Add content to your website regularly to provide search engines with more incentive to direct websurfers to your site. Search engines prefer a website that grows, so by adding more pages with blog posts, you offer a healthier online presence. Blogging also offers you the opportunity to advertise your business for free. All you need is some time to write and some ideas to write about.

Most small business owners who have a blog do not have the time to write on it. Writing about news, tips and advice in your business niche CAN bring you more potential customers.

When planning to design a website many considerations should be thought about. You get what you pay for, and cutting corners is definitely the wrong way to succeed. There’s no reason to design a website that needs to be scrapped and redesigned 6 months down the road. Your web design plan should be thinking years ahead towards business goals and potential growth.

Even with a small business you want to promote a professional image online, and it’s rare that you’ll find a product or service that doesn’t have competition. Unless you have something that’s absolutely unique, there’s always competition out there, and people tend to pick the top websites that give a great first impression. Do it right the first time instead of pulling your hair out later.

When you’re in a business with little competition, you corner that market, but when there are great numbers of others that do the same thing you do, you may not be in demand. Your website needs to give the first impression that you’re the biggest and best at what you do, helping you obtain credibility. The idea is to compete with all the other businesses that are in your same business niche. It’s not who you are and what you do, but it’s the PERCEPTION of who you are and what you CAN do for someone when your potential customers find your website online.

Online shoppers want to go with the top website for what they need, and these are usually larger companies or corporations. They want to spend their money wisely and already know what the competition offers. Anyone shopping online has done research and gathered information on the product that interests them before they even get to your website.

Marketing sales and strategy is what it’s about. Let’s say your competition has a 500 page website online for the same products or services you offer on a 5 page site. Online visitors would probably find your competition first unless you have a well-developed, growing website. If all your budget can handle for now is a 5 page website, perhaps further development as your business grows could be an option.

Utilizing SEO to improve your website’s stickiness could be a great way to gain more traffic from website visitors and possibly increase the income of your business. The more visitors that arrive at your website strengthens any chances to gain more potential customers. The first challenge is to define how stickiness and SEO work.

First to define the difference between stickiness and SEO. SEO is what gets websurfers online to arrive on your website, whereas stickiness is what keeps them there. Of course more information on your website will encourage your website visitors to dig more into your information and resources, but the key is to have what you offer to be easily accessible. Using links that direct your online visitors to what they are looking for is important so navigation is easy for them.

Of course, directing website visitors to your website to just harvest information and leave is worthless unless you can convert some of those visitors into paying customers. The importance lies in defining your business and making it clear what you offer, and what makes your company stand out above the rest. Define your business niche and give examples of why you stand above the rest. Give your website visitors a “call to action” to interest them in what you do and desire to use your services.

The differences between writing on a blog for your business or just writing for personal reasons revolve around the need to be indexed by search engines. Obviously when writing for a business website, you want to generate traffic in order to attract potential customers. Writing for a personal blog, you can use less formal language and be less concerned about keywords, tags and labels.

Whether writing for your company or for personal purposes, you should speak casually but professionally to your audience. Write about topics that interest you and are knowledgable about in either instance. The focus on SEO isn’t as important writing for personal purposes as writing for business. Focus on keywords in the title, use appropriate tags and labels, and keep the topics closely related to your own occupation.

When writing for your business blog, you need to focus more on writing about subjects that are involved within your business niche. A personal blog doesn’t need SEO to generate traffic, because there is no product or service being sold. With your company blog, you may have to pay to have it optimized for search engines. Gear your writing to whether you have a personal blog or a company blog. Know the difference and adjust your writing accordingly.

There’s No Place Like www.home.com, your business website’s home page. With this familiarity, the website should encompass a professional theme. The home page should make visitors feel just as comfortable, but sometimes it’s hard to have an objective opinion of your own site.

The journey of a thousands sites begins with a single click, so maintain a positive first impression. With a positive home page reaction, your website visitors soon become interested in products or services offered. Sharp graphics and layout should use appropriate colors and fonts to match your business cards and printed material. The website visitors should be able to recognize your market branding on a website that is easy to navigate. Give your potential customers the ability to gather information quickly and easily.

The home page is the first thing your website visitors see and should attract website traffic. Bringing repeat customers is the advantage of a small business website, and with enough visual appeal, visitors will be encouraged to bookmark the website and tell a friend as well.

When writing, the importance of targeting your audience remains a valid strategy. So many business owners have a website and a blog, but rarely do any writing on them. Review these tips and advice on involving your readers in your business and reading your articles.

Your posts should be about your readers’ interests and related to your own business. Keep your readers involved with popular topics that are the buzz on social media websites and the news. Think about who is going to be reading and tailor what you write to your audience’s needs.

Make sure you stay focused on what topics your readers expect you to write about and revolve your writing around them. Keep up with what’s interesting in the news by doing searches, watching what others post about, and using Google Alerts. Google Alerts is a great way to choose what topics you want to be informed on to organize them for review and research.

With these tips in mind, write about your business and current events whether on your blog, website or in articles. Target your audience and let them know you’re thinking about them by writing in a fashion that is beneficial. When you involve your readers with your writing you can expect to provoke an interest in what your business is about as well.

When you have a business and email clients on a regular basis, I suggest to add a signature block for a professional look because it may be the element that sways potential customers in your direction.

A signature block generally contains your name, company name, website, phone number, and a slogan if you have one. Many email platforms support adding an automatic signature block to your emails so there is no need to add one manually each time. When you add a signature block to your correspondence, the customer has your contact information at hand, rather than depending solely on your email for correspondence. A signature block also allows your customers and potential clients to have a more personal feel for you and your business.

Add a professional signature block to all your correspondence and let your potential customers know that you mean business. By identifying your business information in a signature block, you not only facilitate any potential customers’ ability to contact you, but you will emanate a professional appearance.
