</p><p>What sort of results can you expect when you use blogging on your business website? One of the best <strong>blogging sites for business</strong> is a client of mine, a <a href="http://www.blushdayspa.com.au" target="_blank">Day Spa in Perth, Western Australia</a>.</p>

<p>So what&#8217;s been the result so far. Well I&#8217;ve done a short video that shows you the search engine rankings that has been achieved for various keywords related to the services offered by this Day Spa.</p>
<p>And this <a href="http://www.blushdayspa.com.au" target="_blank">Day Spa in Perth</a> is starting to dominate the search engines with many number 1 rankings for these keywords.

</p><p>The benefits of <strong>blogging for business</strong> are now too much to ignore. In fact, <span style="text-decoration: underline;">if you&#8217;re not blogging then you&#8217;re LOSING money.</span></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s why&#8230; I&#8217;ve been blogging for the last 12 months or so. I&#8217;ve also set up a number of blogs for my clients. Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s happened&#8230; these blog websites <span style="text-decoration: underline;">have generated MORE Leads, MORE Traffic, and MORE Clients</span> than any traditional style of website could imagine.</p>
<p><strong>One thing you MUST understand: Blogging is no longer a choice.</strong> If you&#8217;re online and you WANT traffic, attention, great search engine rankings and PROFITS then you simply MUST have a Blog!</p>
<p>The other day I found some interesting statistics on Blogging (source BlogWorldExpo.com) It&#8217;s an American site so some stats are relevant to that part of the world&#8230;</p>
<p><span id="more-60"></span></p>
<ul>
<li>Over 12 million American adults currently maintain a blog.</li>
<li>More than 147 million Americans use the Internet.</li>
<li>Over 57 million Americans read blogs.</li>
<li>1.7 million American adults list making money as one of the reasons they blog.</li>
<li>89% of companies surveyed say they think blogs will be more important in the next five years.</li>
<li>Technorati is currently tracking over 70 million blogs .</li>
<li>Over 120 thousand blogs are created every day .</li>
<li>There are over 1.4 million new blog posts every day .</li>
<li>22 of the 100 most popular websites in the world are blogs .</li>
<li>37% of blog readers began reading blogs in 2005 or 2006 .</li>
<li>51% of blog readers shop online .</li>
<li>Blog readers average 23 hours online each week .</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>So YES&#8230; Blogs are a pretty big deal!</strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s what I find interesting. There&#8217;s a whole pile of people out there who read Blogs and over 51% of them admit to shopping online. And they spend a lot of time reading stuff on the internet each and every week!</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">If you&#8217;re in any sort of business you&#8217;d want to get a piece of that.</span></p>
<p>I want to talk a little about traffic to your website. <strong>I&#8217;m a great fan of getting FREE traffic from search engines. </strong>And if you have a website then you damn well want it to be visible in the search engines. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">You don&#8217;t want it to be on page 10 of search results, you want it to be on the front page.</span></p>
<p>Now, the traditional style of website might get some sort of ranking for it&#8217;s main keyword. Here&#8217;s an example&#8230; you&#8217;re a <em>Personal Fitness Trainer</em> in the city of Perth, so you might get a search engine ranking for &#8220;Personal Trainer, Perth&#8221;</p>
<p>And you may get some traffic as a result of that search engine ranking.</p>
<p>But what about all the associated search terms eg. personal fitness trainer, weight based training, aerobic training, gym training etc.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s where Blogging comes in. By simply providing content to your Blog based on those wide ranging keyword terms, you can just about guarantee some sort of placement&#8230; <span style="text-decoration: underline;">quickly and cheaply!</span></p>
<p>Consider this&#8230; I have a <a href="http://www.salonsuccesswebsite.com" target="_blank">Salon Marketing Blog</a>. I&#8217;ll go and research a keyword and then write some content based on that keyword. Within 30 minutes (sometimes quicker) that article will be present in the search engines with a great ranking.</p>
<p>Is that a little &#8220;far fetched&#8221;? A good ranking in Google within 30 minutes of publishing the Blog Post?</p>
<p>Well&#8230; here&#8217;s my latest article titled &#8220;Blogging For Salons&#8221;. I just searched google for that keyword I was <span style="text-decoration: underline;">ranked 2 and 3 for that keyword.</span></p>
<p>And experts in search engine optimization (SEO) agree:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;You simply must have an ongoing stream of valuable content to attract the most free traffic available in your niche through the search engines. There’s no better platform for publishing and organizing that content than a well-built blog.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Effective Blogging for Business is &#8220;marketing on steroids&#8221; for your online business.</strong></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a great resource for you&#8230; I&#8217;ve just written a 14 page FREE report titled &#8220;Blogging For Business &#8211; Dominate Your Online Marketplace&#8221;. You can download it here&#8230;</p>
