Every one is an expert :D

I am sure everyone has at least once or more than once felt that every second person they meet claims and acts and imposes as an expert in some field or another.  Even if you yourself have the highest possible qualification in a subject or the requisite work experience, you do once in a while come across someone, who would tell you how to do your job correctly.  Annoying, but at the same time it is very funny.

We amuse ourselves in our free time by scouring the internet for online marketing and search engine optimization blogs.  We have a long list of blogs, we really look forward to reading to get an insight on what is latest, the moving and changing trends and the latest phenomenon's on search engine - the real bloggers who have proved themselves in this domain and who are the experts - experts we follow, whose advice we practice and validate to the best of our abilities - BUT - we have an even longer list of blogs, which we keep going back to just to read what knowledge they are throwing at gullible readers and pretending that they are the industry leaders in online marketing and search engine optimization, just because they keep blogging using the buzz words in every single paragraph.

If you follow blogs and are fond of reading online, please do search for "Google Panda Update" and you will see  very very long list of websites, each and every one giving you their 2 cents on what the google panda update is all about and some not writing anything at all about the panda update, but just saying the panda update happened. The reason of this blog is one such panda update article that i read and trust me i would love to post the link here, but that would just be too nasty on my part.

So, coming to the main point,  i sincerely hope that all internet users and browsers looking for services and products online dont get too carried away by long meaningless articles and blog posts with fancy designs and patterns.  Please do validate what everyone online claims because chances are that more often than not, there is a BIG element of "not-so-correct" information in there.

Wishing everyone a very happy browsing experience and loads of fun and laughter if you come across any pseudo-knowledgeable blog like i did today.

Is Blogging Now a purely Commercial Activity?

A BLOG was meant to be a personal space for people to share their experience - good and bad - to put their thoughts out, sometimes share it with people and something just for one's own reading - to vent out at wrongs - to appreciate the rights - basically a medium of expressing one's feelings as one would do in their diaries in the good old days, but with the option of sharing it with the millions and millions of people scouring the internet on a daily basis.  But, are blogs still use the same way?

I would say NOT.  Most blogs that you come across have a keen commercial aspect to them, just like this one, yep the one you are reading right now, we at MAG Studios like to blog and like sharing our technical know how and in the internet insights with you, but this does a very good thing for our corporate website http://www.mag-corp.com also.  We can reach out to millions of potential clients across geographical domains and actually post content which is relevant to our business line and also enables the end user to understand and evaluate our skill sets.

I do not completely agree with the title of this post, but it is true that blogging has now more inclined towards commercials increasing becoming one of the most powerful tool of online marketing, be it ad space on the blog itself, or how we do it, to increase traffic to websites but to also share information, which may or may not be useful to our existing and potential clients.

As a business owner or a website owner, are you making full use of the potential of blogging?  Are you just doing it for fun or are your blogs geared towards increasing your website traffic and in turn your revenues? You may come across a number of publications online about business blogging but we feel that blogging should retain its true essence and still be productive for a business.  Why loose the fun element in working, there are plenty of serious pure commercial activities which are done every day at work in any case.

Please get in touch with MAG Studios to understand and evaluate how you can add a blog to your website and increase your traffic and your revenues and also put your thoughts and knowledge and increase your brand's image online.
