Abstract

Attention: Large Corporations, SMBs, Marketers, Advertising Agencies, Media Companies and Online News and Content Sites.

The Business of Blogging report analyzes the contradictions behind why everyone is talking about blogs but so few business are actually posting them.

eMarketer looked at the business of blogging one year ago. At that time, blogging was not practical for most businesses. But things are changing, and now a growing number of businesses are moving beyond the early blogging-as-sales-tool mindset that hindered adoption.

Key questions the "Business of Blogging" report answers:

  • Why should marketers care about business blogs?
  • If business blogs don't generate leads, how should success be measured?
  • What best practices exist for business blogging?
  • And many more...
