Thanks for your comment. Hi Julia,

Since blogs are a great way to bring a human face to a business I see no problem with blog posts that show the humanity of the business by talking about involvement in charities, community groups, etc.

Not only does this show the human side of the business to readers but also ensures that the blog doesn’t just seem 100% focused on promoting the business itself.

Thanks for your comment.

If a high search rank is important to you, you should create a cluster of pages around each of your target key-phrases. Your blog is an ideal place to do this. You can even give Google the extra nav cue of category links. Here's an vid post I recorded on the subject of clustering: http://www.divinewrite.com/blog/copywriting/web-copy/seo-copy/copy-clip-choosing-keywords-theming-site/ BTW, Paul, the owner of this site (bloggingteacher.com) created my blog theme.

I like that you talk about focusing your topics on a passion, but be sure you can plan out 30 to 50 ideas on it before starting a blog. My question to you is: When I recommend blogging to business clients, do they need to stay focus on business matters (i.e., B2B marketing if that is their business), or can the company blog be about other things like: charity organizations they support, causes, etc.? In other words, if they go off topic, will this discourage potential clients from visiting their Web site? All the best, Julia http://juliakinslow.wordpress.com/ This is great information.

The process of writing a blog involve also a lot of reading of different sources of information. You should be prepared to read a lot of content on the topic. Cheers, Place For Bloggers Hi,
