Despite popular myths blog marketing is still impacting internet marketing significantly, but with that being said having a blog just because it's the "thing" to do - is not enough. Blogging recently renamed content marketing has been around for a few years now, but I'm very disappointed to report that many companies are still failing when it comes to writing engaging content.
How do I know? Look at them.
Their blogs are not attracting repeat visitors and no one is interacting or leaving comments. This is the clear signal that a blog is not working when it comes to marketing. How is your blog doing?

5 really good tips, it is definitely a challenge to write 3 times a week though but understandably it is required to achieve brand awareness and keep the blog fresh
My blog is a great tool to get high traffic. I update my article each day with important information related with news of the financial markets across the world. Each company in the world must have a blog!
Yes, “A blog can be a great communication tool for companies, when they are used correctly”. Visitors are not interested by the articles, they leave comments to post advertisements or even scams.
I have to agree totally that blogging for businesses is a very important key to success. This line of communication not only shows the business can relate with the consumer, but also shows in most cases that the business is more than just “suits” behind the scenes.
Really good tips; short and sweet. I like the challenge of writing 3 times a week or everyday.
