Look around, browse around, people are here to share different information every day and every minute. From the mundane, “What’s in your mind?” and “What’s happening”, to those highly important world issues, sharing information has become part of our lives.

This is also a way to measure how much impact or relevance a person or topic has to its readers. So if you want your blog not just to rank but to also create an impact, make sure you have something that people would want to share; just like what John Jantsch said.

Since information is readily available to all of us now, people would also find a filtering system to sort through all the information we are presented with. Our brain can only take so much, and frankly not everything we read, hear, or feel will capture our attention. This is why whatever we share must be valuable to our readers, or we would elicit a reaction from them in the form of sharing it. This will benefit us not just for the time being but also in the long run. It will certainly improve our credibility and online presence.

So it’s a given fact that Google loves blogs. This is because blogs are made not by corporations or businesses, rather, people Real, live actual people who blog out of passion or maybe even boredom. And people are bound to trust other people – not just legal entities like corporations.

Oct3 Marketing Insight Wednesday: Companies That Blog Have 55% More Website Visitors

So why is this the case?

Simple, really.

People want to associate themselves with a brand that’s human enough to take care of their needs. Sure, a website with all that look and feel will look good. But beyond the surface lies nothing else but the intention to take whatever money’s left in their target audience’s wallet.

Here are three other compelling reasons why a blog does better than a conventional website.

1. Blogs generally have a non-selling environment going on. People like to buy things but they HATE being sold to. So yeah, blogs are totally human-friendly AND wallet-friendly.

2. Blogs get indexed by Google more AND they rank faster than ordinary websites too. Yeap, Goooglez love blogs.

3. Blogs provide the value people need through answers and solutions. So whether your target audience is in shopping mode or not, they’re bound to visit it sooner or later.

So now that you know what a blog can do for your business, what are you going to do now? Let me know in the comments section below.
