With so many blogs out there, how do you make yours stand out? Here are some tips:

- Don’t forget to link – outbound links beget inbound links!
- Keep your overall SEO strategy in mind – put keywords in your blog posts.
- Create original content that engages your audience – content they can’t get anywhere else.
