Website development: creation of a blog on the site

Creation of a blog for a company is a noticeable tendency in recent years. Such blog may be placed either on a separate hosting or on the principal site of the company. More and more companies publish not only commercial information such as price lists or action offers but also notes about the daily routine of the company, topical reviews etc on their websites. Does a company need its own blog?

Creation of sites and creation of blogs are practically identical notions. A blog is the same type of the site as any other: a small business site, a promo site, an Internet portal... It means that it can also perform a number of useful tasks for the company: attract visitors, increase the conversion of visitors into customers, promote the company, its goods or services on the Internet.

Creation of a standalone blog provides the site of the company with several significant advantages from the point of view of website promotion and SEO:

• it increases the number of external links to the site which has a positive influence on the positions of the promoted site in search engines;
• it has a positive influence on the company's authority by forming the impression of a company which is a real expert in its field;
• it forms the audience of regular visitors who may become clients or partners of the company in the future;
• it facilitates feedback mending between the visitors and the administration of the site.

Creation of a blog as a part of the principal site of the company also has a positive influence on the effectiveness of the site and the attitude of the visitors to the site. The materials of the blog on the site increase the quantity of the unique useful content. It influences positively the indexing of the site by search engines.

Creation of a blog for a company (in other words - a corporate blog) is as a rule carried out on a separate paid hosting together with creation of its own domain name (blog_name.com). A blog may be also created as a sub domain on the company site (blog_name.site_name.com). It is also possible to create a blog as a separate section on the site of the company without creating a separate domain name.

How is a corporate blog created?

Creation of a blog straight on the site of the company consists in creation of articles, reviews, notes which are placed on the pages of the blog chronologically. Updates of the blog on the site should be carried out regularly because the information in the blog should be always fresh and actual.

The news of the company should be published in the blog only on conditions that it might be interesting for site visitors as potential clients of the company. You should not tell tales out of school.

Reviews and researches, analytical data might be useful for the visitors if they can help them to choose a good or a service or give them food for thought. That is why it is strongly discouraged to copy materials from popular resources into the corporate blog of the company blindly - it may spoil the company's reputation.

Creation of a blog on the site of the company presupposes active participation of the visitors in the life of the site. Such instruments as comments, materials assessment, RSS feed etc are at the visitors' disposal on the blog.

Creation of a standalone blog or a blog on the site of the company as well as creation of a site of any type requires competent promotion. Promotion of a blog which is a part of the site of the company is included to the overall list of promotion activities for the whole site. Promotion of a standalone blog should be carried out simultaneously with promotion of the principal site.
