Blogging. Will it attract traffic to my site

Will adding a blog attract more traffic

This is a good question. Like many things though, it requires work. If you are going to add a blog, then most likely you will want to blog about subjects related to your site. Google considers subdomains to be like a separate domain from your main site.

So if your site is e.g. http://www.example.com, you could create a subdomain for your blog like e.g. http://blog.example.com. You could also name you subdirectory what your interests or the content is about like http://my-interests.example.com.

Like so many things when it comes to webmastering and web seo, results will not be overnight. More work is needed to make your blog visible to others and having it indexed by the search engine. To start, we would definately put a link on our homepage to the blog. We can also get it listed on such blog site as Technorati, My Blog Log, and Blog Catalog just to name a few.

Good content and having some expertise in your subject is what will attract visitors and also keep them coming back. Adding great articles is the main way to getting traffic. If your blog is good enough, people will also tell other people about your blog. So, just keep adding that content and watch the traffic increase.
