June 8th, 2010 by Susie

The internet marketing potential of a blog on your website operates as a two-pronged approach. Firstly it can be effectively used to engage with your target audience and attract new and repeat traffic. Secondly it can be used as a search engine optimisation tool to raiser your visibility and profile with the search engines. However these two internet marketing strategies can sometime be at odds with each other.

Using blog posting for commercial ends can be a challenge as you need to be able to manage conflicts within the style of writing and the substance of the content. The conflicts found often arise from the choice and use of keywords within the blog posts as well as issues surrounding your ultimate end goals in keeping a relevant and frequently updated blog.

It’s likely that you optimise for certain keywords. These should be the keywords that are most likely to be used by your target audience when searching on the net for a certain products, and therefore will be used in any blogs regularly. However, these keywords don’t necessarily sit easily with quality writing and can make content read in an unnatural way. Coach hire Manchester for example is a classic search term however it does not fit easily into a well written blog. If you regularly use phrases such as ‘Coach hire Manchester’ then you can quickly alienate your readers who will see the writing as a form of spam.

The balance must be struck between the SEO requirements and making the content readable.
