Blogging 4 Business - The Business of Blogging

Into The West Blogger Network is hosting Blogging 4 Business - The Business of Blogging, event on the 15th November 2015 in The Galway Bay Hotel. The aim of the event is to highlight the importance of Blogging for Business, SEO and Content Marketing for businesses.

As bloggers we know the importance of great content and how a blog helps drive new traffic to your website and works closely with search engines and social media to do that. Every time you write a blog post, it's one more indexed page on your website. It's also one more cue to Google and other search engines that your website is active.

Every new indexed page is one more opportunity for you to show up in search engines, and drive traffic to your website through organic search. Blogging also helps you get discovered via social media. Every time you write a blog post, you're creating content that people can share on social media, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+ which helps expose your business to a new audience.

Blog content also helps keep your social media presence alive. You're strengthening your social reach with blog content and driving new website visitors to your blog with your social channels. With this in mind we have an amazing line up of guest speakers including:
