Here a few tips for all of our group bloggers to keep in mind. To keep the site focused on lead generation, your main audience should be prospects researching ERP/CRM software – make your posts relevant to them! We recommend that posts be at least 750 words. Quality is more important for readers, keywords and length (1000 words or more) are more important for SEO. Ideally, you will write for both. Write in language that prospects use – no industry jargon or marketing fluff.

To prove the ROI of blogging we recommend that you use Google Analytics on your own website to track these key metrics: 1) Increase in site traffic 2) Referral links from the blog to your site. ( Tips for Google Analytics ). This will always be the most accurate. We do our best to track the traffic to your group blog posts in our “Post Stats” widget.

You can choose to add a customized widget (box) on your own website that will display titles and links to your blog posts you publish on the group blogs. This is a great way to always keep fresh content on your website (which is good for SEO). On your dashboard (first screen when you log into the blog site) you will see a section called “My Articles” and a link to “Click here to put customized copy of the widget on your website.” Hint: If you don’t see that on your screen,

Each blog account has a default author name that you selected when you signed up. This author name shows up automatically after the title. Some companies choose to make it a generic company name, other companies choose to add a personal name. For example, it could be “BestVAR Inc.” or “Bob Brown, BestVAR Inc.” You can change the default author name on the Profile tab on your dashboard at any time. BUT be aware that this will change the author name of ALL the future AND past p
