How To Determine A Name For Your Business Blog
Copyright 2006 B Hopkins
The growing popularity of blogging by the general public is making business blogging a necessary marketing tool to stay competitive.
There are many factors that can determine the success or failure of business blogging, and how successful it is with the business's target market.
These factors include how well the blog is marketed, how easy it is to comprehend the blog content, and how well the blog entices people to take action.
Determining the name for the blog is one important factor in driving the right kind of targeted visitors to the business website.
Why the name of the blog is important
The name of your blog is important because it sets the tone for the blog and it is the first line of marketing for your desired visitors.
If a business names their blog 'Jim's Blog' or 'Jane's Blog', it isn't descriptive enough for people at a first glance to decide if they even want to visit your blog.
Another important result of how you name your business blog, is that most blogging software will put the name of the blog in the title of the browser.
Many search engines will list the title of a web page in their results page.
If your blog name isn't very descriptive and accurate, you will risk losing potential customers or prospects coming to your site if they stumble upon your blog from a search engine results page.
Research the keywords for your blog:
This is an important step because you will want to include some keywords in your business blog name to get maximum results.
In order to determin which keywords you should use in the name of your blog, you will need to research the viable keywords for your industry.
There are many free and paid tools that you can use that will tell you what keyword phrases are being used in searches.
This information will tell you what phrases your target market uses to find businesses in your industry.
While performing your research, you will find many results for keyword phrases.
The ones you should be most interested in are the keyword phrases that don't have too many words (no more than 4), as we will be adding more to the name if possible.
You will also want to pick the keyword phrases that have a relatively high number of total searches for the month (10,000 or more).
Once you have decided upon a few keyword phrases, experiment with some different arrangements of the words to create the beginnings of a compelling business blog name.
Pick a clear benefit of your services to use in your blog name:
You are in business to fill a need or pain for your target market.
If you aren't doing that, you won't be in business for long.
Pick a clear and concise solution to a problem that your business provides for your target market, and try to incorporate that benefit into the name of your blog.
You should end up with a name that will include relevant keywords and also contain a benefit for your clients or customers.
Following these steps will give the title of your business blog a more relevant and enticing name.
How to put all
the elements together for the name of your business blog:
How do you put together a keyword phrase and a clear benefit to create a powerful blog name?
Let us go over an example for the travel industry.
We will use a hypothetical company that provides travel insurance to travelers.
A common problem for travelers that need travel insurance is to replace lost property and luggage.
The benefit of this particular
travel insurance business is that it provides coverage that is over and above what the other travel companies provide, or provides a service that makes it quicker and easier to process claims.
Our keyword research for this industry finds that 'travel insurance online' has just over 10,000 total keyword searches for the month (total of all 3 of the major search engines).
So in creating the name for the blog, we could call it 'Quick Claims in Online Travel Insurance' or 'More Than You Expect From Online Travel Insurance'.
We have included a benefit, and the keyword phrase in one short sentence, and we did not make the name too long to make it look awkward.
As you have seen, the name of your business blog serves a couple of functions.
The biggest one is that it can be used to help drive targeted visitors to your website, but the name also plays a role in search engine optimization for your business blog.
When choosing a name of your business blog, don't leave out the fact that it should also fit into the branding strategy of your business.
Choose wisely and do your research well and you could reap the benefits and rewards for your business.

Navigating Insurance for Students and Searching Out the Right Financial Solution for UK Parents
Students are often portrayed as being lazy, indolent, or, perhaps most damningly of all: scruffy. But today's students are often more active and involved than their parents, and they demand the rewards that come with this behaviour. Valuable pieces of equipment are de rigueur in many of the UK's student halls; parents having lavished attention upon their offspring in the form of gifts, money and, increasingly, credit cards ? cards immediately used to go out and purchase more shiny offerings.
In fact the operation involved in conveying a freshly minted student to the halls of their choosing can take on a military bearing as their hi-fi, decks, television, and computer are loaded into and on top of the car chosen to risk the soon-to-be-familiar route to the student halls. This, of course, is not to mention the miniaturised electronics that go hand in hand with their larger brothers: the mp3 player and omnipresent mobile phone (fortunately these are, now, becoming...

Using Life Insurance Wisely
Every family should have a life insurance policy on at least one of the financial providers. A policy should always be in place in case one of the primary breadwinners passes away so that the family will be able to support itself if no other source of income is available after the breadwinner dies. Estate or "Death" taxes can be as high as 55% when the insurance policyholder dies. Many families cannot afford to pay these steep taxes and still maintain the lifestyle that they are accustomed to. Therefore, we have compiled a few tips to help ensure that your family can maximize the benefits they receive from your life insurance policy - and avoid giving so much of it to the government.
First of all, you should know that a portion of your estate will be given to your beneficiaries with a tax exclusion. The number of dollars covered by the exclusion each year varies, but here's a brief overview: in 2004 and 2005, the exclusion was $1.5 million per person. From 2006 through 2008, the...

Emergency Medical Evacuation Coverage - Does your HMO or PPO offer this?
Travelers insurance may be the only way for most Americans to insure they are fully protected in case of emergency medical evacuation while traveling abroad, because for 70 percent of these U.S. resident HMO and PPO medical insurance plans do not cover such an event.
Some travelers insurance plans offer transportation to a safe location during emergency medical evacuation but do not offer medical insurance for the duration. Others offer both. One travelers insurance site that we looked at, for example, offers travelers insurance for medical emergency evacuation, for a single person, a couple, or a family, for a designated time period of three, six or 12 months.
Online you can get a quote instantly and can purchase the travelers insurance.

This type of insurance will cover you for the duration of your life and continued on time premium payments. Permanent policies provide you with not only a death benefit but in some situations a cash savings. It is because of these extra perks that permanent life insurance tends to be more expensive than term life.Some features of permanent life insurance also include level premiums so you want to purchase this type of insurance while you are considerably young and in good health.

Permanent policies can also produce dividends. You earn dividends when your premiums turn out to be higher than your actual life insurance costs. If this is the case your insurance company may opt to pay you the difference in the form of a dividend. Because it is difficult in predicting your actual...
