We’re very keen on blogs here… as you can see from how often we update this one! We’ve found from our experiences here that blogs can be a very direct and immediate way of promoting a site, new product or updated content without the need to contact third party sites and request links. Also, commenting on other people’s blogs is a very direct way of associating your products or services with existing, successful sites or brands and effectively joining an online community.

Aside from creating our own blogs and encouraging our clients to keep them regularly updated with fresh content, we also use a wide range of blogs to help us keep on top of the SEO and Online Marketing game and see what’s new in the industry. Just from looking today at the feeds coming from the various blogs in my RSS Feed Reader I can see:

- email in France is now officially called ‘courriel’ source

- Google co-founder Sergey Brin has booked a seat on a flight to the International Space Station in 2011 source

- Google Trends has now been updated to allow you to download the figures into a spreadsheet – very handy source

There’s a lot of information out there if you know where to look and we always try and make a little time each day to review the main blogs out there to see what is happening and what are the latest developments. We’ve also taken the time to each setup a personal blog to offer a more targetted view of what we’re doing and how we’re doing it:
