The Internet can be such a faceless place with every website starting to look and sound the same…. how do you make your business website stand out from the crowd?
With a blog, of course!
KansasCity.com posted a great article today on how businesses are using blogs to give a personal touch to their websites. […]
blogroll (noun). A blogroll is a list of links to other blogs often placed on the side of a blog.
Different bloggers use them for different things. Some bloggers create a list of relevant blogs for their topic area; others use it as a place to link to all their friends.
We call our blogroll “Favorites,” and it lists some of my favorite blogs that you might also be interested in (so they are bloggers who talk about blogging.)
You want every link on your blog to be relevant for your visitor so use this list of links to provide good resources in your blogroll.
One of the things I absolutely love about the custom blogs we are setting up is how quickly Google loves them. Our latest blog is #1 on Google in just a week or so.
One of our challenges is explaining to people why they shouldn’t use the free blogs. I have lots of reasons (watch for a future post) but one of the main ones is we custom format and program your blog so that Google loves it.
We’ve researched what works (and what doesn’t!) and while we can’t promise you’ll get the same results, you will be further ahead of your customer who is using a free blog and doesn’t have all the cool features you will!
So they set one up and then…Every time they want to add a thought or send a newsletter, they have to pay their web designer and then wait until it’s ready?
Well what if you could publish your thoughts INSTANTLY with no waiting and no designers?
It’s as easy as using a word processor
And Google loves these sites!
What’s our secret? A Blog. In fact it’s a special custom blog created just for you.
Your Blog Team.com can help you set up an easy-to-publish website so that it’s simple to reach your customers!

What Can You Do with a Blog?
So just why would you want a blog anyway?
Here are some of the reasons why you should use a blog:
• A blog gives you an easy way to publish your content without a web designer. It’s as simple as typing into a “dashboard” that works like Microsoft Word. Then you hit the Publish button and guess what? You’re a blogger!
• You can even add new pages quickly and easily.
• Blogs are an easy (and useful!) way to communicate with your target market. Your visitors can interact with you by leaving comments on your blog.
• Reporters commonly use blogs to research and find experts.
The blogs at YourBlogTeam.com™ also have some special features built-in:
• Your blog is specially designed to attract the search engines. We include some special features that the search engines love. We can’t guarantee you any rankings, but this is one of the best ways to attract search engine traffic (one of our blogs was receiving traffic from Google in just four days. Many sites wait 4 to 6 months before they start getting Google traffic).
• We use Web 2.0 and social bookmarking features to find new visitors for you.
• We will even set up your blog so your visitors get an email when you publish new content.
• Your blog is set up on your own domain name so you have an easy way to share your new site (you also aren’t tied to one of the commercial blogging services out there).
• We add in a special program to prevent spammers from abusing the comments on your blog.
• You will also be able to create polls for your users.
