Blog Sites - External to School's Website

        

The external blog site plays an important role when marketing a school and could be used for three main reasons:

•   these increase traffic to your School website through the links you include in the general blog template you create, and also in the blog posts you write, which are directed to your School’s website
•   these assist with your website’s SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as each point (links, as per above) back to your School website assists the SEO
•   in most cases these external blogs are free of charge. (Costs are optional depending on your usage and blog complexities and on the Blog provider. In most cases you can easily do this free of charge.)

A good example of these external blogs are provided by Blogger and WordPress.
