Can Blogs Be A Profitable Online marketing Solution?

[naman]

Efficacy of using blogs as online marketing for my site is brewing some confusions in my mind. Since, blog is a cheaper avenue of Internet marketing and also is potent to push my site to high rankings at organic SERP, but the time consuming factor of this marketing tool is dampening my enthusiasm of using it. Yes, this web blog is now the latest trend on the web thanks to sizable contributions made by celebs. However, as per my understanding blogs are mainly beneficial for service providers than sites selling products. However, I have a real estate based website that sells properties. I have incorporated my site with blogs on tips, advice, suggestions related to buying properties, minimizing costs, mortgage and loan related topics. What do you think? I need your opinion on efficacy on these blogs to built up my site's popularity?

It may be cheaper, however I think it is also less effective. Blogs are too informal to make much of an impact. However if it works for you then good. My advice is to not waste time blogging.

It can draw lots of traffic and be profitable at the same time if you are able to provide useful and unique content relevant to your niche.

But for a more credible and apt venue for an online business, build a site and not a blog

Blogs maybe profitable, only if you have good content and ranking that drive traffic to the blog. Good luck

I use blogs in order to promote my main sites but they are very long winded to keep up to date. In terms of a return on your time there has to be better ways?

If you're starting a blog with the sole reason being to make money then I wouldn't do it. You need to have an active interest in the subject which you're writing about, otherwise it'll simply become a chore.
A blog can increase site popularity if there are quality and unique content in it, if keywords are well targeted in a blog its helps in getting extra backlinks. It could be a link building strategy if you include the link of your main site directly to it.

It can be a great help for your online business success because it helps your site to get more traffic...
