New Startup Blogs Take A Few Months To Get Indexed

BusinessBlogs.us states the basics of getting started with real business blogging. In a nutshell, this is the way is:

Baby bloggers face a tough road. One of the biggest obstacles is writing regular blog posts when you know that nobody is reading them. Motivation can be extremely hard to find. Blogging to an audience that isn’t there makes it that much harder.

The catch 22 of this is that if you keep blogging regularly, they will be there. So will these early posts to your blog. So in fact, you are blogging to a real audience. A real readership. Just a future one. But to get there, you have to find that motivation and write that conversation now. As if you have millions of readers from the very start.

In other words, don’t expect too much too soon. It takes time for a business blog to gain momentum. It doesn’t happen overnight. For most new startup blogs, you shouldn’t expect any results for at least 60 to 90 days. If it happens sooner then that’s icing on the cake. But that’s the berth I would give a new blog.

In some cases, if a company comes to us and asks us to take over writing a blog that they’ve been writing sporadically to for a few months, we could see results much sooner. That’s because at least one search engine has likely already indexed the blog and now it just takes daily content to keep the search engines coming back for more. Once you get the blog listed then it’s just a matter of consistently adding new content. If you don’t have the time, hire someone who does.
