Comments on: What Would You Say About Hyperlocal Blogging? http://www.hyperlocalblogger.com/what-would-you-say-about-hyperlocal-blogging/ Tips and Discussion for Local Bloggers Tue, 06 Dec 2011 21:51:51 +0000 hourly 1 By: Allen Taylor http://www.hyperlocalblogger.com/what-would-you-say-about-hyperlocal-blogging/comment-page-1/#comment-504 Allen Taylor Mon, 26 Jan 2009 18:10:27 +0000 http://www.hyperlocalblogger.com/?p=296#comment-504 Congratulations, Matt. I envy you. As a manager of several commercial business-related blogs in a variety of niches, I'd say that a local blog can be an extension of any business in any niche if done the right way. If you run a business where a segment of your target market is local, or fits into any geographical context, then start a community service blog for that area focusing on drawing awareness and attention to a hot topic affecting the area. Since your business sponsors the blog you'll include a logo and link back to your main site on your About page, and possibly the sidebar, and it's another avenue of traffic for the audience that you want to reach for your business. It's called indirect marketing. Congratulations, Matt. I envy you.
