I started my first blog “In Between The Tapas And Tantrums” way back in April 2007 and although I have spent practically my whole life in Direct Sales and Marketing. Computers, blogs and the internet as a whole was and still is very new to me.
Internet marketing still baffles me today and the more I read the less I understand! (My wife blames it on my age, but then my wife blames everything on my age!)
When my twin daughters were born I wanted a way to record the daily challenges and also all the good times that come from bringing up twins and eventually turn them into a book, so when I discovered blogging I thought what a great way to also share my experiences with all the other parents of twins around the World and so “In Between The Tapas And Tantrums” was born.
It wasn’t long before I also saw the opportunity of passing on my sales and marketing knowledge to help others as well and so The site “Simple Sales and Marketing Solutions” was also born a couple of months later.
Now some four years and a bit into it, after letting the two blogs tick along nicely. I’m starting to concentrate on Marketing my Sales Training Blog a bit harder to also promote my newly released e-books to bring in a small but passive income.
This has been my marketing strategy so far:
- List my sites with the major search engines, Google, Yahoo and MSN so that I can be found easier.
- Be conscious about using good keywords in my articles without forgetting that I’m writing for you the reader and not for the search engines.
- I have forty one articles posted on Ezinearticles which do bring a little traffic to my sites.
- I joined Ecademy which is very a good business networking site but doesn’t bring much traffic at all to my sites, and I’ve also got a couple of lenses on Squidoo which haven’t brought me any traffic as yet.
My main question is:
Should I merge my two blogs into one?
I’m thinking of importing “In Between The Tapas and Tantrums” into “Simple Sales And Marketing Solutions.” (They are both hosted with blogger)
I very rarely post on this site now as I just don’t have the time and think the Idea of having all the articles on one blog makes sense? Or does it? More content = More traffic? (There are 50 articles on the other site and 62 on this one)
The process seems fairly straightforward but my worry is what happens to the URL’S on the imported articles? Would I lose all the links I have built up on those articles or would blogger keep them under their original URL’s and redirect them to this site?
What would you do?
I would really appreciate some guidance from someone who has merged their blogs and knows the answers.
HELP!
