I have been blogging for about two years now and have enjoyed the process, even though it is very time-consuming. Sometimes putting thoughts to paper helps clarify your thoughts regarding an issue.
I started a blog in an effort to increase my online visibility and blogging is still somewhat effective for increasing your visibility however, much less so now as opposed to a year ago. Recent changes by search engines such as Google have made blogs less relevant and harder to find unless you are specifically looking for blogs.
For anyone contemplating starting a blog, I suggest researching the recent impacts of Google’s algorithm changes to see if blogging will meet their needs at this time. Blogging certainly has a place for attorneys and that place is ever evolving within the search community.
