Chris Baggott's Guide to Blogging

Blogging for search

Monday, November 17, 2008 by Chris Baggott

I had a conversation the other day about Attorney Marketing. Do people really go online to find a lawyer?

Just like any business marketing, Agricultural Marketing, Tourism Marketing, Non-profit marketing, even University Marketing...all benefit from easy to use blogging software with a goal of Search Engine Optimization.

Up to 80% of all web interactions begin with a search. People can learn more about a law firm or any organization in 5 minutes online than any directory or yellow pages. All marketing is Success Marketing...meaning you do the activity that drives the most success. Lawyers: Websites alone are not enough for successful web marketing....start a business blog.

The reality is that they are trying to say too much per post. I like to keep to 100-150 words. The other hang up is that it's ok to say the same things over and over again. Not the same words, but the same concepts. I wrote a book on Email Marketing. The publisher wanted 75,000 words. I had about 275,000 in my email blog so I thought "this is going to be a piece of cake' The reality is that I had enough for about three chapters because I talked about the same things over and over again :-) Thats ok.
