Why Blogging is Required for Your Business?

Blogging is one of the best thing which I love, be it my personal love towards blogging, or for my professional needs as well. Being an SEO I do understand the importance of blogging in any online business, do read this blog post of mine to know why blogging is required for your business.

I still remember the days when recession was a new term for me. I won’t ever hear about this term before 2007. It was the time when I joined a company, which was certainly going through big loss. Though they were looking for business and were certain that I have the ability to save their business.

I came up with the idea of giving Adwords ad on Google and start a blog for their business website. The motive of starting a blog was clear in my mind though the management was not at all sure why am I doing the same. Although since I forced they allowed me to go ahead.

Google Adwords started displaying the results soon. SEO activities too started displaying results within a few months, but then the best results which came through was through blog only. And a company which was going to shut down returned to its normal life and expansion mode very soon.

All credit goes to the blogging activity which I started for their business.
