All BIG companies blog in order to profit their business; usually with the PR company writing the blog for them. At least with a small business (like mine) you get content written by the actual company – in my case, me.

As a writer myself my primary focus when writing blog posts is my readers and how my words can help them. My blog has a PR of 0 at the moment but I'm really not worried. I have traffic and regular readers so that is all that matters to me. I am hoping to get recognised by Google at some stage though. Amanda Hi Jim,

Words are written to be read NOT crawled (search engines). Bloggers will link back to your site because of well written content NOT because your site is well 'crawled'. So prioritize the 'readers' not 'crawlers'! Good read! Most people are killing their website’s content trying to impress Google.

Words are written to be read NOT crawled (search engines).

So prioritize the ‘readers’ not ‘crawlers’!

Good read!

One of the main reasons people have been so kind in recommending this blog and linking to it, is that they know I'm trying hard to make it a valuable resource. You make a lot of sense - thanks! Justin,
