Not sure how many of you may follow the HubSpot, but they are an excellent resource for lots of different things regarding Internet Marketing. They just completed a recent survey that’s worth taking a look at, titled Study Shows Small Businesses That Blog Get 55% More Website Visitors.
Here are the highlights of the article;
If you blog, you know that it’s good for your business.
But how — and how much?
To answer to those questions, I looked at data from 1,531 HubSpot customers (mostly small- and medium-sized businesses). 795 of the businesses in my sample blogged, 736 didn’t.
The data was crystal clear: Companies that blog have far better marketing results. Specifically, the average company that blogs has:
* 55% more visitors
* 97% more inbound links
* 434% more indexed pages
Are you still not convinced to Ditch the Community Newsletter and start a Community Blog?
