#2 Reason for starting to Blog! .....

Blogs have proven to be one of the best tools available for improving search engine positioning. In fact, when done correctly, a blog can sharply increase the search engine positioning of an existing, non-blog site.

Here's how a blog can "transfer" improved search engine ranking onto an existing website...

When blogging on a network with an established presence, search engines (Google in particular) give regularly updated blogs serious spider activity. Therefore, simply by linking out to your main website(s) from your blog, your other sites will gain increased spider activity. If your blog network is a good community with a solid reputation, your links can result in substantially improved ranking for keywords of your choice.

I decided to try this for myself recently and it worked quite well. A friend of mine, Duncan Carver runs a blogging network with a great reputation in the search engines. So I grabbed an account and set up an Internet marketing blog of my own using his established system. It took me about 15 minutes to set up, then I made a few posts over a 3 1/2 week period. Each post I made contained a link or two out from the blog to this site you are at now, as well as a few others.

Before I put up the blog, my bizweb2000.com site was sitting at #41 for the highly competitive term Internet Marketing. As I write this issue, just about three weeks later, this site has already moved up to #16 for that term. Since I've had no other efforts in place, I can directly attribute that improvement to Duncan's blogging system.

If you would like to get more information on this process, read about Duncan's worm farming project at his appropriately named, "betterthanbacklinks" blogging network. It is a system that is working well for many marketers and one I can vouch for personally. It works particularly well if you are trying to get a new site indexed.

In closing...

I'm confident you can use blogging to increase your income on the Internet, if you go into blogging for the right reasons.

In my opinion, the two best reasons for blogging are to share information on something you are passionate about, or to increase the search engine ranking of an existing website.

 Ideally you could combine reason number one and reason number two from this newsletter, and maximize your blog's effectiveness.

Well, that's it for today's gazette. See ya in a few weeks...
