Search engine optimization (SEO) can be approached many ways.
One of which, is through the use of free blogs.
I’ll explain.
Free Blog SEO Strategies
Creating a free blog site is good for SEO because it helps give your website a platform for marketing content to your desired audience within online blog communities and social blogging websites.
They can also be a way to get your website on Google search fast.
These free blogging platforms such as blogger.com and wordpress.com have millions of people discussing common subjects with each other.
There’s also hundreds of millions of websites linking in to these domains, passing pagerank, domain authority and trust rank along to them.
So, marketing your website using a free blog search engine optimization strategy not only helps you reach a larger audience, it also helps your website to get organic backlinks that search engines can easily find on popular websites with high domain trust and high domain authority.
Create one blog for your website on each of these free blog platforms. There are others you can look into such as Tumblr, Medium.
When you create new content on your website, write an original article that highlights it for each one of these free blog websites. Include images such as your company logo, screenshots of your website and its latest posts.
SEO TIP: Google has a free website builder that’s perfect for building free websites in addition to your free blogs. Creating top-notch, engaging content across these popular internet marketing platforms will be good for your organic search footprint.
Do you need SEO?
When trying to determine if your website needs SEO there are several important factors to consider when making this decision.
Every website can use SEO as a tool to improve its natural search traffic coming from organic listings in the Google SERPS (search engine results pages).
Determining if your website needs to hire a search engine optimizer (SEO professional) is explained in detail by Google in the page linked above.
This is an important decision you’ll be making because as Google states on their developers site:
Deciding to hire an SEO is a big decision that can potentially improve your site and save time, but you can also risk damage to your site and reputation. Make sure to research the potential advantages as well as the damage that an irresponsible SEO can do to your site.

Can free blogs be bad for search engine optimization?
It is possible to use free blogs in the wrong way which could end up hurting your website’s organic search traffic.
Avoid doing things that could be perceived to be “spammy” such as keywords stuffing, duplicate content & misleading information.
Avoiding these rookie SEO mistakes and creating one blog with rich and engaging content about your business on each of the main free blog platforms will ultimately be a good SEO strategy for your website as long as your creating helpful, original and organic content on each new blog post you create.
Its important that each blog has its own original content so don’t just copy and paste one article onto every blog. That will hurt your website’s rankings in the search engines and you don’t want that.
Creating original, compelling and top quality content which results in a fantastic user experience where the users needs are met is and will always remain king in SEO.
But in the art of search engine optimization, as it is in chess, there are other powerful pieces in the game such as queens, bishops, rooks, knights and even pawns.
Make sure that your free blogs are developed much like you would strategize for a game of chess. You want to play a few steps ahead.
Always be original and authentic.
