Business Blogging Seminars

[mp3] Intro to Six Apart's Seminar on Business Blogging

Blog Business Summit

Are you interested in learning how to leverage blogging for your business? If so, you should have been at Blog Business Summit last week!

Two common themes were search engine optimization (SEO) and engagement with your blog's audience. Google favors fresh content and links -- so, the simplest way to drive more traffic to a blog is to give your posts more google-relevant titles. Blogs also have great potential to engage readers in a conversation about their content. Robert Scoble mentioned that his blog's audience's engagement level is much higher than most websites because he brings his personality to his blog & stays authentic.
