to the people
There
are many different types of blogs, differing not only in the type of content,
but also in the way that content is delivered or written. So what is a blog
exactly???”
A
blog is a type of website, usually maintained by an individual with regular
entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as
graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological
order.
The
most common and traditional blogs are personal ones. Personal blogs are looked
at more as an ongoing diary or commentary by an individual. 
A blog can be private, as in most cases, or it can be for business purposes. Blogs used internally can enhance the communication and culture in corporations.
Internal
blogging empowers employees, increases communication, reduces e-mail,
simplifies document management, and provides a solid framework for employees to
stay informed, learn about new opportunities, and be involved in the company.
An internal blog is an alternative to company newsletters, break room bulletin
boards, project status updates, employee milestones, company events and
announcements.
An internal blog can mean less work for you
(no outside website systems to learn). Similar standard benefits that are part
of any blog.
By
having a blog built in to your website, you may also secure additional search
engine benefits.
Why?
When
you link to a blogger, WordPress, or other provider blog, search engines know
that you're going to a different website, so the blog provider gains some
benefit. When you keep your blog "in-house" on your own website, and
provide a link to your blog that includes the words "Blog", "Web
Blog" or "Blog News" within the link, search engine software
knows that you have a blog inside of your own site, that it may contain
important news and may therefore assign any additional benefits to your own
website, rather than any outside party. Yet even though an "outside"
blog can make a useful companion to an existing website, in that scenario,
surely your blog deserves the same level of important consideration as you
would give to your main website? With "outside" blogs: setting up and
managing a blog significantly increases your overall website workload, so you
have to be sure that the benefits gained do ensure the extra work of setting
up, running and maintaining an "outside" blog are justified.
That's why,
if
you're serious about building a web business, apart from the benefits of
getting additional back-links to your main website from a blog, you may be
better off simply investing in a web business platform that already comes with
blog features built in, and then using those to add valuable content more often
and more effectively, instead of adding an "outside" blog and
potentially doubling your workload.
