It really doesn’t matter what kind of business model you have chosen, attaching a blog to it, will in a very short period time increase your exposure, and help you climb that ladder of search results.

Thinking back it was a rare instance that I didn’t get what it was that I pitching to my folks. I am sure if you sit down and think back at how good were at the art of persuasion you’ll be pretty impressed at your closing ratio.

I really don’t understand why folks would go through all the motions of building a site and then not at the very same time make it search engine friendly and optimized. It is far simpler to go that route than to go back in a rework it later. When you have search engines on a non stop stop search for focused content it only makes sense.

Keyword optimization should be part of everything thing you do, from creating websites to creating pages inside of your site to article marketing to blogging, what ever it may be.
