Search engines tend to rank websites higher if you continually add new content

 

RSS which stands for really simple syndication is another great automated marketing tool built into blogging software. It is a tool which lets people subscribe to your blog’s content.

 

Add a podcast to your Blog – one the easiest and effective ways of publishing a podcast is to release the episodes in a category on your blog.

Blogging is the front door to social media – people use search engines to find answers to questions and to find local suppliers
