Have you tried Blogging?

A blog (weblog) is an easy way to publish text, photos, and links on the net without having to set up a website - or as a great add-on to your existing site.

The search engines (Google in particular) favor websites that have a history or a "trust rank." This is based on the theory that the longer a site has been up, the more "authority" it has.

However, blogging comes in at the other end of the scale - meaning, information on blogs is new, fresh and perhaps VERY relevant to your search. You can search blogs at http://blogsearch.google.com/ This is a great place to go if you need really up-to-date information on a new topic.

Getting a blog of your own is easy and free. I just set one up at www.blogger.com it is http://askjoanne.blogspot.com/ There's also a search link on my blog that will search my blog or any blog on blogger.com.

A blog can be used as a public relations tool. You can keep potential clients and customers up-to-date about information on your company or in your industry by publishing your thoughts, pictures and links quickly and easily in real-time.

If you'd like to get a blog of your own and need a little help getting started, give me a call.
