India 2016 PRODUCTIVITY WEEK THEME : “EASE OF DOING BUSINESS FOR HIGHER PRODUCTIVITY AND SUSTAINABLE GROWTH."
http://guide-india.blogspot.com/2016/01/india-2016-productivity-week-theme-ease.html

The event is an important event in India. I myself addressed Tisco Jamshedpur in 2014 for the event.
I addressed ONGC, Mumbai plant managers in 2015. This year I made a blog post on the event. Already a 1000 hits were registered. Actually Google analytics shows 1000 hits per day. It is not an original idea of course. It is a post on a regular event. But its growing to national prominence as a blog post in three or four days is important illustration of the idea "Blog Post to Bharat Toast"

Search Engine Marketing, Social Media Marketing and Community Marketing for Blogs and Online Articles

Why post a blog or an online article if you are not prepared to marketing it in internet streets?

One has to post an article only if he is prepared to do the marketing and related marketing communications. Of course, one can post otherwise also but the chances will be that nobody visits it because nobody in the world knows its existence. It is like a note that you kept in your locker under lock and key.

Search engine marketing and social media marketing are the two leading online marketing tools for online articles. If you are publishing on an article platform like Knol, you have the author and visitor community of the platform as a separate group. Your friend circle and personal contacts are another group with whom you can share articles.

If you post and leave...it will just sit there
