Corporate blog for business.

**happy_2b_kot** · 09-28-2007, 09:47 AM

If I am not mistaking it is relevant nowadays to have corporate blog. So we tried to keep in touch with this tendency and started some time ago to post info on our corporate blog.
(As I have mentioned earlier on this forum, I work for templatesflow.com website, and all our company is named ArtWeb)

So blog is located at http://artwebus.com/.

I would be more than glad to hear any comments and opinions on such things as: Should this blog exist at all? What do you think of its design and etc?

All comments are welcomed.

I think it makes sense for a company to have a blog but I also think for a corporation you should give more news about internal company affairs. Look at all the blogs off Microsoft giving details about upcoming beta versions, APIs in the new operating system, and every manner of thing. This makes the reader trust the company more - no surprises.

You might want to host the blog on the same domain as your site though? Check out how VanGogh does it.

Your blog looks good, it just took more time than average to load (could be my connection but you could ask more people to test it out).
I think that in order for a blog to be an effective marketing tool, you need to update it more often than once every 10-15 days. I suggest adding designing tutorials and "How Tos" and other relevant/useful information. That way you can attract search engine traffic but also you can link to the posts when someone in a forum asks e.g. how to do something...

I hope this helps

Definitely a company blog should include what's going on internally. People are coming to the company's blog to look at stuff about that company. I would not go to a company's blog to see what they think about their competitors.

Blog can really help your company site in promoting it as well as to rank your targeted keywords.
