Blog Design and RSS Integration
Two resources for expanding quality content throughout your website are Blogs and RSS Feeds.
A Blog is a type of website or addition to a website that allows you to display and manage your content with regular entries written by your company and monitor comments posted by users. Blogs have increased in popularity over the years because they allow users to easily update content and apply that content to opt-in emails or social media campaigns.
They’re a great source for keyword rich terms and can have a positive impact on your website’s search engine optimization or SEO. Blogs via content marketing have become an invaluable part of any digital marketing strategy.
RSS feeds, which stands for Really Simple Syndication, are used to pull in content and articles from other sites to be displayed as a resource for your website audience. This is a good way to add valuable content to your site without having to allocate resources to write it. These feeds can also be developed to send your web articles or content to other websites, which allows for enhanced SEO optimization.
We work with the follow open source Blogs and RSS Feeds:
- WordPress
- Blogger
- Drupal RSS modules
- Custom RSS and XML solutions
Social Media Integration
Social Media tools are easily accessed and abundant making them popular but also misunderstood. Proper planning is still required. The use of tools like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook can enhance your marketing efforts, with your website acting as your central marketing hub. The content posted with these tools can also be integrated into Blogs and RSS feeds, automatically streamlining your content development efforts.
Content Development and Content Marketing
One of the most important parts of a website is the content. We provide web content development services such as site map development, content planning, writing, editing, and keyword analysis.
Content marketing is a crucial piece to any digital marketing campaign. Successful digital marketing plans are only as great as the content you produce and the tools used to produce it. Content marketing requires a steady stream of fresh content. You need a content management system (CMS) like WordPress or Drupal to keep pace with the fast-moving world of marketing today.
