Biz Blogging Basics – Free Report on Reputation Management

Minneapolis, MN, November 02, 2007 --(PR.com)-- Small Business Mavericks, a division of Melberg Marketing, today announced it has registered and opened a new domain, www.bizbloggingbasics.com, that will be the future site of a revolutionary Small Business Mavericks product offering, called Biz Blogging Basics. As part of the site’s launch, founder Caroline Melberg is offering a free report, “'The' Best Social Networking Sites for Increasing Traffic to Your Business Website and Protecting Your Reputation Online,” that visitors can download from the site for free.

“Connecting to other people and groups online is key to building a successful Web business and establishing a reputation,” says Small Business Mavericks founder and President Caroline Melberg. “This report offers business owners a comprehensive list of resources they can use to build solid incremental links to their sites, improve search engine rankings, and increase traffic.”

Just as important, Melberg says, is “establishing and protecting your reputation online.” Web communities spread stories – both good and bad – about people, brands, and issues every day that can dramatically affect search patterns and sales, “and it’s important to be actively involved in the discussion when it comes to your own company and brand. If you haven’t established your presence online, and someone does post a negative comment, then it’s likely that negative comment will be all your potential customers learn about you when they search for your company online.”

Melberg continues, “a blog is an important tool in your Online Reputation Management toolbox, but there are many other tools available that business owners are not taking full advantage of in terms of establishing their reputation online and raising their search engine positioning too. This report gives all the details on how any business owner can successfully establish and protect their online reputation – and increase traffic to their website as well.”
