Web 2.0 Marketing for Wrestling Coaches - More on Blogs
Blogs are easy to share information and organize it as well. Add tags to your post and blog.com will create a section for you. For example, look under marketing for the posts that relate to marketing. There will be more and more posts there for coaches and wrestlers to learn more about marketing themselves. The blog creates a blog roll for you based on the key words you type in.
Do you have albums to post online? Blog.com has a feature where you can add your own albums to your blog. We have several posted here about past shoe lines. We’ll also talk about other photo hosting sites in the future. There are free places to create web albums and host your images for free.
Create a blog roll of top wrestling links. Hopefully wrestlinggear.com will make the cut. We were just added to intermatwrestle ’s blog as a link in their blog roll. You can link to other blogs or other web sites you think your visitors will be interested in.
Archives - each month is organized so uses can go back and find an article you typed in a previous month. If you visit our other blog - http://www.illinoiswrestling.com and know we took photos at a tournament in December - the photos will be linked in that December section of the blog.
Syndication - for this you just need to check a box you want an rss feed or other feeds created so someone can put them in your reader. Don’t know what a rss reader is? Don’t worry we will explain what a RSS reader is later and why you want to make sure you are generating an RSS feed. Several wrestling sites have rss feeds you can subscribe to - they include themat.com and revwrestling.com are two wrestling related sites that have rss feeds - wrestlinggearcom.blog.com and illinoiswrestling.com have rss feeds that you can subscribe to.
Advertising - you can generate web ads and display them. You just need to know the html to post in the message - below is an example that we have generated that will rotate a banner ad. The script does get blocked by some browsers, but you should see an add at the bottom this post.
That’s it for now, we’ll post more information about blogging later
