Search power of Blogs
If you were in any doubt at all about the power of blogs to help your search engine rankings here’s a fairly compelling piece of evidence to convince you that they really can make a difference.
This domain was registered, and the blog was created and launched in August of this year. That’s just last month… and very little time to see any real results in terms of organic search engine rankings.
When we launched, the search results on Google.ie for the term “Small business West Cork” were dominated, unsurprisingly, by the West Cork Enterprise Board – the regional Irish Government agency charged with fostering local enterprise.
Just a month-and-a-half or so later, from a standing start, our embryonic SOHO Solo West Cork blog has surged into the top two slots on Google.ie for that same keyword phrase, and five of the 10 page 1 results relate to this site.
I don’t know about you, but I think that’s a fairly impressive and unequivocal affirmation, if one were needed, of the power blogs have to hit the right “buttons” with the search engines.
