For many people blogging is the way in which they are able to update their web site with new information and fresh content. As such, blogs are a great way of gaining returning visitors to your web site.
However, there are other places you can post blog entries which can also affect the popularity of your web site. One such place is Ecademy.com.
Ecademy is the world’s largest online network of people in business. Once you sign up as a member you get access to the blogging system within Ecademy. This allows you to post entries to the Ecademy blog. You can post anything, as long as it is not an advertisement.
However and here’s the important part if your blog entry on Ecademy includes a link back to your own web site you will benefit. That’s because Ecademy is one of the world’s most frequently updated web sites; it changes every minute. As a result it is adored by the search engines who re-index Ecademy several times a day in some instances.
This means if you post a blog entry on Ecademy, include in it some keywords related to your site and have a link to your site in your signature, you will be indexed by the likes of Google. Once your link is seen within Ecademy you get a bonus benefit. Not only is your link followed through by the search engines, but because your link is on a high profile site, your site is seen more favourably.
However, you need to ensure that your entry on Ecademy is real content no keyword stuffing for instance. If your entry is not useful it can be removed by the Ecademy staff. Even if it is allowed, Google will not see your site as important if your blog entry isn’t focused on what your site is about. But if you post entries onto Ecademy which are directly related to your web site you will see search engine benefits.
Furthermore, you’ll also see many people visit your site as a direct result of your link in the Ecademy blog. So, don’t just think of blogging on your own site; add your blog postings to Ecademy as well.
