How blogging increases traffic and leads for your business

As a blogging expert, I am often asked how blogging can increase traffic and leads for people’s businesses.

I discovered a very cool infograph below that was provided by Business To Community that illustrates some mind blowing business blogging statistics.

“Informal full name: Weblog: A journal written online and accessible to users of the internet.

Connecting your blog to multiple social media outlets such as Facebook and Twitter can greatly increase the traffic to your site.

Within the next year, blogging is expected to gain a 50% increase in users.

Blogging nets you 55% more web traffic.

B2B companies that blog generate 67% more leads per month.

Blogging increases your online leads by 70%.

Companies that blog have 97% more inbound links than those that don’t.

The more content your website has, the more opportunities a search engine has to direct to one of your pages.

Once you write 52 or more blog posts, blog traffic generation increases by up to 77%.

46% of daily searches are for research on products or services.

The more pages you have, the better chance you have for a higher ranking.

There is a 59% increase in traffic for B2C companies that have 200 articles vs 100.

On average, companies that blog receive 434% more indexed pages.

Once a site has over 300 indexed pages, traffic generation increases by 236%.

Businesses that blog at least 20x per month generate 5x more traffic and 4x more leads that those that only blog a few times per month. ”

Clearly, a blog is an extremely powerful platform that your business needs in order to create an online presence.
