The Importance of Effective blog design
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010Welcome back!
Blogging has become the way to drive new traffic to your business, whether the business is on the Internet or in a building. This is because people connect personally to you through your blog, even if it is a business blog.
Through writing blog posts your readers, subscribers and customers get to know a little bit about the person behind the
scenes. And as long as you’re posting quality, trustworthy content your readers will come to trust you.
Your blog is probably the single most important tool you can use to gain added traffic to your website. Whether your blog is part of your website or a separate entity, it is important to know how to focus your blog to help drive traffic to , in turn, ultimately drives customers to your business.
A effective blog Design is one that has a specific purpose. Your blog’s design specific purpose it to get others to want to learn about you or come to buy your products and/or services. Therefore your site should include lots of details about your personal history including: stories about how you began, why you like to blog and so on and so forth.
I feel that all blogs should have a least some core elements to them make them successful. That includes having
- Custom header/Graphics to set your site out from the crowd. (You want to be noticed and remembered for being you)
- The use of visuals and nice pics in the posts of your site.( Humans love visuals – the use of pics in your post will make your site pop)
- Great Content! This is one of the biggest factors for your site don’t produce info for the search engine make content for your readers and they will come back time and time again.
- Integrate Social Media into your site – the internet is going through this social media movement and people love community’s.
Just by implementing these core three things then you will begin on the right track to building a great blog. So if you are looking to start you site and don’t want to do it your self or want to spruce things up a bit.
