Great example of the power of blogging
iPoint wrote a blog about the advantages and disadvantages of wifi about 7 years ago. For whatever reason, the search engines picked up on it quickly and it ended up recording over 40K views of our website. It was traffic that we definitely wouldn’t have gotten otherwise, and some of the views turned into business for us.
Blogging is worth it
Properly optimized blog posts, coupled with frequent posting and relevant topics will increase the likelihood of a business’s appearance in organic search. If a user clicks on your blog post, your website benefits from the traffic and Google notices that people are searching for information that is related to your industry, and that information is held on your website. This further enhances your websites credibility, and creates a higher ranking for your site.
