Why get a company blog?

Your company already has a website.

That website is already listed in Google (how high it ranks in Google is quite another story)

Why in the world would you want to have a company blog?

What IS a blog anyway?

read on...

A blog, short for weblog, originally blogs were online journals, a kind of public diary... that all changed with the political process, Al Gore losing the presidential election in 2000 and the power of the Internet.

The Republicans had talk radio (Rush Limbaugh, Bill Oriely)The Democrats had... zip (Dean? he hurt them more than helped them)


Blogs had broken news stories, Blogs were suddenly the equal of the (shrinking) Big three networks... blogs were challenging the mighty cable news outlets.Everybody either had a blog, or they wanted a blog... they blogged on every topic under the sun.

Google noticed this...

Google bought the largest, most popular blog platform in the world: Blogger.com
Google didn't stop there, Google also bought Feedburner.com (a blog enhancment software, feedburner *supercharges* your blog)

So what exactly is a blog now?
it's a different platform, just like a Macintosh is not a PC but they're both computers.

A blog is a website, but is a different platform, it's .xml as opposed to being in .html format.

Which brings us back to the original question....

Why does a company want a company blog?

Websites take up to 6 weeks for Google/ Yahoo/ MSN Livesearch to index.Blogs get indexed within 24/48 hours, (less than that if you're sharp like Frederick Web Promotions )

You make a company website for a product launch next week and your out of luck!

You make a company blog with the explicit purpose of publicizing that product launch and Frederick Web Promotions can get it in Google in less than a week!

Google will BE the next Ma Bell... Google is set to become THE PHONE COMPANY, Google is moving into cell phone software!
