Here at WeBidz we do our best to promote our sellers items, through continual work on SEO, misc feeds to external shopping engines, ever increasing advertising budget, gaining brand recognition with the online community, etc. We have been experiencing vast improvements in STR and traffic on the WeBidz site, but this does not mean that each seller will experience these same effects. Being a basically free auction site, we do not have the resources to promote each store or sellers items, but rather the site and categories as a whole. We have recently implemented blogs into our community, so sellers can help promote their own auctions to increase their sales on the WeBidz site. WeBidz already receives high rankings in the search engines for all site pages. Create your own blog to promote your products/services, and you can also get these high rankings in the search engines for your keywords.
When you joined WeBidz, a community account was created for you automatically. So you will be able to log in to the community section and start posting blogs immediately, with the same username/password combo you used for registration.
What Are Blogs
Blogs are basically an online journal. They provide a place where you can easily write news and information about yourself and your auction sales on a daily basis. The word blog is a combination of web and log smashed together to make a new word called blogs. They are one of the latest crazes on the Internet because they allow anyone to easily publish their own thoughts and content on the Internet.
Blogs are also wonderful for creating a ton of extra traffic and visitors to your auction listings. If you frequently post great content to your blog it will quickly be picked up by the search engines which will create more visitors to your blog and your auction listings for free.
What To Blog About
Many sellers will instantly see the benefit of having a blog. It provides an easy way to interact with your customers. You can provide updated information about your auctions, the products you sell and general info about your business. It might take a little while to get used to blogging but typically it is very addictive and once you start writing a blog it can easily become a fun daily activity. To get the most from your blog you want to think about writing content that is useful to your customers. For example an online sellers that typically sells in one category or one type of product can provide more information about what they sell. For example a seller who specializes in model cars might take some time to write a few articles or posts about building model car tips. Another seller who sells wedding related goods might write blog posts about wedding planning. The point is you want to make the content useful to your customers so they will come back often. The more you write good quality content and inform your customers the more they will want to purchase products from you. In this way you can quickly establish yourself as an authority on the subject.
One thing you will want to stay away from is having a blog with very little useful content and a lot of sales ads for your auctions. Sure you can occasionally write a blog post to plug a new item you have up for auction but if that is all you do no one will visit your blog. The more community friendly information you provide the more potential and past customers will come to your blog and possible visit your auction listings.
