Stop Me - I am already promoting blogs to customers!

Ok - there are a number of reasons that I started this blog. I would like to say that firstly it was to help you, dear reader, in your business endeavours - but I would be lying.

It was to see how the blog would affect my rankings and traffic over a period of time. I am trying it with the Lutroo site as well as a few others that I own.

Of course, there is benefits to you - I will give you something worth reading (I hope!).

But, having the primary reason I started this blog in mind - I find myself in a meeting today convincing my customer that the best thing he can do for his website is to start a blog - just like I am doing.

I am so sure that this will be more than just a good thing to do - I am actually convinced that it is a great thing to do...

...so here is my first piece of advice, untested though it is -- start your own company blog. I will keep you posted on how mine is doing.

Set your blog up at blogger.com. It is easy and quick to do. You could host your blog on your website - I have set one up on the Lutroo site (www.lutroo.com) but this is more for testing than anything else at this stage. I can't help by feel that Blogger (owned by Google) is a great place to do your first blog given that Google is the biggest search engine to be listed on.
