by Chuck Swanson ~ March 15th, 2013
As I scour the Interwebs seeking new clients I often find myself at company blogs. Some are fantastic! Others, however, leave me scratching my head.

CONTENT MARKETING
Today, content and content marketing are playing a central role in online brand visibility. Without a steady flow of fresh, relevant, well-written content your site will not be maximizing its search engine presence.
Content can come in many forms, all of which – if optimized – can set your site apart from competitors, giving you better online brand visibility, but perhaps even more important – a voice. A seat at the table, as they say, brings thought-leadership which goes miles toward shrinking sales cycles and converting new business.
- Blogs – establish a blog and let prospects see your passion for what you do, how you do it, and who makes it happen
- Video – create video content and differentiate yourself. YouTube and Vimeo are great places, beyond your site, to create a presence
- Articles – write smart articles and syndicate them at article sites as well as distribute them to bloggers and publishers
- Press Releases – set up shot at PRWeb.com and PRLog.org and publish your press releases. Create a media center or integrate them into your blog for more robust, searchable content
