Blogs - How Important Are They?

Last time I talked about Niches and the importance of having a niche if you are going to compete with the big boys of Internet Marketing...

Today I want to introduce you to the world of Blogs!

Now, I'm sure by now unless you've been living under a rock in the middle of the ocean that you've heard of Blogs.

Blogs have pretty much taken the Internet by storm and are currently a favourite of the search engines and google in particular.

A blog then is a simple website that can be put online with or without the need for a domain name or hosting, one of the reasons why they've become so popular.

Another reason is the ease of use, they are really simple for even the most inexperienced of computer users to get a grip of.

So, where do you get a blog?

There are several places where you can get access to free blogs, one of those is Googles "Blogger" the other is "Wordpress"

Both of these are excellent ways to build an instant online presence very quickly, Wordpress also gives you the option of have a dedicated domain name one that's individual to you or your business if you decide to go along this route then you're also gonna need to get your own hosting account.

Personally for hosting I use Hostgator and for purchasing my domains I use GoDaddy there are thousands of others available though.

So, what do you do with your blog, you've purchased a domain, sorted your hosting and are ready to go...

Here's the cool part you can now use your blog to promote just one or perhaps a number of affiliate products on the same subject.

Posting articles and information, even videos to your blog and then using those to recommend your affiliate products.

Wordpress is cool for this purpose because it has so many added features that you can play around with, you can even add additional pages and have these as dedicated pages for capturing leads before sending people onto your affiliates sales page...

How cool's that, 2 birds with one stone!

Blogs, provided they have individual and unique content (this is your responsibility) will be picked up and carried on a wave by the search engines giving you higher page rankings and better viewing stats that you would otherwise expect from a normal squeeze or landing page without paying for PPC or other traffic generation methods.

You know what, they're even quick to get online and even easier to publish, you don't need any web design or coding skills at all.

If you want a quick and easy way to start your online presence then get yourself a blog and join the rest of the Internet Marketing community by cashing in on this hungry market.
