You’re absolutely right! And thanks for adding your comment. As a small business generating content via blogs, Facebook, twitter, etc… you have to be generating content that provides value to your readers. People are not going to visit your blog, or at least return after their first visit, if your content is not delivering valuable insights.

People don’t want to be marketed to – they want to be helped and served. If you can find a way to extract meaning, serving, and helping customers with your business products and services, and the provide content with that in mind, then your audience will grow and ultimately you will be, in essence, marketing your business.

Thanks again for your comments SEO Advice! Let me ask you quickly – would you be interested in writing here at Social Media SEO? All of your articles are allowed a signature block that can include up to 2 links (one for your URL and one keyword phrase) at the bottom of each of your articles – let me know!

I would much rather spend time on building and maintaining content that my users truly appreciate, content that actually helps them and content that draws in organic traffic.

Just my thoughts.
