PS: Blogging DOES help with search engines

Here's a quick postscript to a blog post from this morning.

This is for any clients who have doubted me — or will in the future — when I have told them — or will tell them — that blogging improves search engine placement.

This morning I published a brief phishing warning in the nSiteful Blog.

An hour later, while inspecting my server logs (that's what Web developers do in their spare time), I noticed that at least two Web surfers had found my blog article by searching in Google.

So then I Googled "maintenance at enom" (not caring about case, since search engines don't), and I found that nSiteful.com comes up as the third site on the first page of search results!

(When you consider that eNom.com — the subject of the phishing scam — came up first, that's not too shabby.)

What this means is that within at most one hour of my having published a new page on my Web site, Google not only indexed the new page but elevated it to the top of the search results page.

So if you ever doubted that a blog could help your Web site's search engine placment, maybe you're due for a paradigm shift!
