Google’s Warning on Guest Blogs: If Your Sole Intention is Link-Building, Stop!

Link-building has been central to online marketing since the dawn of Google.

The Ultimate Guide to Writing Blog Posts that Rank in Google’s Top 10

logging is crucial for every web business to progress in the digital realm. But what most people forget is the fact that blog posts require frequent updating. Competition fumes up every day in the blogging world, making it very difficult for websites to survive. A great deal of pressure is on marketers that require publication of blogs that are crisp, unique, and updated as well. More or less successful blogging requires only one thing, and that is “consistency.” Without consistency, your content is just like a piece of plastic floating on the surface of the ocean, just lying there without any purpose, like garbage. Blogging is more like an inbound strategy aimed at generating more qualified leads. Even studies support the fact that blogging acquires 126% more leads.

All the blogs that you put forth should be able to convert into the maximum amount of leads and sales. Read more.
