Do you ever feel like you need to take an entire college course, just to understand what blogging is all about? You are not the only one. Blogging can be confusing when you first get started.
If you have jumped into the blogging arena and have questions, we have your answers. Below are some of the most commonly asked questions regarding attorney blogs and our responses:
What do I write about? Write about a recent case that you successfully resolved or about a new law that pertains to your practice. While you can blog about recent accident news or other current events in your area, be sure to mix it up.
How important is the title of my blog post? The blog title is one of the first things that Google evaluates and it is therefore, one of the most important aspects of your blog entry in terms of SEO. That means you need to include your search terms in the post’s title.
What are blog tags? Our DSS system allows you to add blog tags to your content, which is important for a few reasons. A blog tag is similar to a keyword for an article. It is used by Google and other search engines to rank your website for that particular term. Blog tags also link to other pages on your site, which helps improve search engine optimization.
Do I need to include keywords in the blog post? Yes! Make sure you include the keywords that relate to that post, but keep in mind that the content still needs to read well.
