Below are a list of things one should start to do when engaging in blogs:
1. Get involved - go where your market is and investigate for any related niches for your products and/or services.

2. Try to fit in - Create a community around your products and/or services. Start interacting with your prospects and customers by creating conversations and networks that center around your products and/or services. Participation is mandatory. Go out and meet your community and find out what they want and deliver it.

3. Establish Friendships - Engage with your market through community. Create interactive contests, polls, surveys, and feedback loops, thereby allowing your community to choose, create and contribute to the improvement of your product and/or services. By allowing your community to actively participate by submitting home grown videos, photos, naming contests, etc. your are establishing trust within the community. Thus, you will find that this trust will lead to you being placed in a cooperative position where customer involvement becomes a vital contribution to your success. Thus, word-of-mouth marketing is raising your business profile in a positive way; such that, you start to acquire new business.

The blog is quite possibly one of the greatest marketing tools created for anyone trying to drive traffic to their online site.

The thing about blogs is that Search Engines (Google, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, etc.) eat them up. This is because you have the ability to write articles that have extremely high keyword densities and constantly update your information on a daily or weekly basis. Both of these things are of extreme importance for position inserch engines.

Not mention you have ablilty to draw subscribers to your blog that will actually market the blog for you bringing even more traffic. Can we say thanks for the free employees.

This is an example of a blog I use to drive traffic to one of my sites.

ojeeznetwork.blogspot.com/

I just send everyone who ask anything about my Company to my blog. I determine exactly what content I want and have the ability to change my content in a matter of minutes. Not to mention the ability to use RSS Feeds.

I could go on on, but I think I have covered the basis. If anyone wnats to chat so more on the subject feel free to contact me via the comments.

I would say it may or may not be good to do all of those things.

If you are making a blog about the trial and tribulations of being a EE...then hell yeah include all those blogs cuz you've got some hellish stories to tell (i have many EE friends). All of those related topics will fit in well.

If you have very specific interests in each of those categories (aka you are one of the few in that niche), then you could probably mix them together those topics. One example of a niche topic would be: using C++ to write circuit testing software. Or something like that...Or a blog about tweaking the electronics of the Iphone...then people would come for sure.

Just grab a niche or a few, and you will do fine.


Best of luck,
Evan

well don't know what other's are saying... i just want to say... adding up categories to your blog... which are most relevant for you and you know about them and know how to talk about them then definitely go about doing it... and don't worry whether it's right or wrong... if what you say has value search engine and other community people will automatically know about it and will appreciate it ... so keep going....

goog luck

I am still confused on the bloggin' it really does seem to be the thing - the search engines have picked it up, traffic is increasing with submitting to some of the social media links that were posted here..
I guess its just the new thing... am I the only one lost? Some of the competition that has blogs, does cover the topic, but the rants and personal stuff as well, but whatever works I suppose ! Im jumping on the blog bus!

It depends on what you want to achieve with this blog. If you are just looking to blog because you want to, then blog about whatever you want.

If you are looking to generate a lot of traffic by having a strong page rank, then it helps you to focus on one or two related subjects. This will ensure that your blog has a strong keyword density. When search engines crawl your site to see what it is about, they will see a high number of very similar words throughout all of your pages. Your site will be very relevant for those keyword searches. When someone types in those keywords in their search bar, your blog will be more likely to pull up in search.
