First Scribe Adds Blog to home page

Blogs are a perfect way for you to get the latest word out to your visitors but it can be tough for your visitors to know where to look for your latest posts. Sure, they can subscribe to your news feed but we believe that task is a little out of reach of the less-savvy users.

Make your Blog Easily Accessable

Many corporate sites bury their latest news, press releases and/or their blog deep within the "About Us" or the "News" section of their website. Latest news quickly becomes old news before your visitors find the content. Why not help your visitors by pulling your latest news to the forefront of your site?

If you have something important enough to call news - then dedicate a corner of your home page to a few links to your latest content.

Blogs drive Spiders drive Visitors

When it comes right down to it, Google likes current, relevent content. You will increase your search engine ranking by consistantly adding relevent content to your site. Obviously, the easier it is for you to add that content yourself, the more likely it is that you will do so.

Enter - The Blog

Let's take a minute to dispell all the myth and mystery around blogs. All they are is a simple way for the average person to publish information to the web. They are nothing more and nothing less.

Blogs come with a special benefit for search engines - they are highly conducive to search engine spiders. We are noticing a significant traffic benefit to the addition of a blog on our client websites.

One simple example:

Match the Template

Be sure to set your blog up correctly so that the template closely matches your website design. Your visitors will appreciate the similar look to your site as they navigate.

New Blog!

We have re-entered the wide-world of blogging.

Our previous blog at http://blog.firstscribe.com wasn't quite performing the way we would have liked so we shut it down and moved it over to http://www.firstscribe.com/blog/ . This new home seems to be a more appropriate place and should perform.

Blogs are an interesting piece of this information age - A blog is a very simple tool yet it has vast power to build and disseminate information. Type, save and publish without any real knowledge of the Internet. It's great for those folks with something to say via a low-tech voice.

The Internet is supposedly the great flattening tool of the business world, presenting information without caste or borders, as it were. Now Blogs come along to flatten the world even more. Not only are they simple, free and pervasive, but they are a good idea. What could be better than that?

For one thing, it's easy to abuse.

Blogs have this mystery to them that enables a great deal of opportunity to apply "soft definitions" to their true nature. Blogs have become synonymous to the snake oils of old when it comes to Internet Marketing. Blogs are great for speaking your piece, they are not the answer to the eCommerce puzzle.

You're not alone if you've heard that a blog is the key to ranking #1 on keyword "X". Blogs will attract return visitors but they're not the only answer.

So, why do we have a blog?

Well, as it turns out we have a lot to say about the truth of web site design, hosting and Internet Marketing. As our business evolves; as we uncover tips; and as we find promising directories we will post them on our blog to inform our visitors.
