Weblogs & Blogs

Okay firstly Blogs (Short for Weblogs) are really anything fancy, they are just an online Journal or diary published on the web with the content display in reverse chronological order.

Blogs can be personal or business oriented providing information on particular subject or wide range of them.  Blogs can consist of text, images, sounds and more recently video. People can post comments on your posting and quite often quote content from other blogs.

Success

Blogs have become successful because you don’t need to know anything about web development, “push button technology”.

They produce something called RSS feed (Really Simple Syndicate,) which can easily be integrated into web sites as news feed. Terinea Times blog feeds into the main Terinea web site. For more examples of RSS feeds see…

Business Blogs

• Google and other search engines love the fresh content. They are more likely to crawl and index your blog that your site on regular basis.  We recently blogged about Terinea being at Hospitality Exhibition South East Show in May 2006. Do a search for this and rather than the official site coming up first in Google’s listings, our blog does.

  Think about that concept, if you sell goods from a manufactory and you blog about taking delivery of a new product. Then when some does a search for this product your blog may stand you in good stance to beat the manufactures web site.

• Creating an online community around your products and services. Let your consumers have platform to speak.
