PRESS RELEASE - BLOGS ARTICLE
‘Blawgs’
Little More than an Expensive Hobby for Many Law Firms
June 17, 2005, Raleigh, N.C. – “Properly
developed blogs can be very effective. Unfortunately, the majority of law firm
blogs are not properly planned and the result is often a significant waste of
time, money and credibility” says Dale Tincher, president of Consultwebs.com, a
web consulting and design firm that develops and supports law firm sites.
In his article, “Law Firm Blogs – Hip or Hype?”,
Tincher examines the effectiveness of “blawgs” – weblogs, or blogs, created by
and for law firms. To determine whether a law firm should start, or continue
using a “blawg” as a marketing tool, Tincher recommends taking these three
steps:
- Define your goals;
- Assess your ability to invest the necessary
time;
- Consider other options.
“Some of our clients have very successful
Websites that rank at the top of the search engines and use blogs to enhance
their Web presence,” Tincher says. “Do not run after the first blogging pied
piper who tells a great story,” he warns. Lawyers should consider the ethics and
libel implications, and be sure to refrain from appearing to give legal advice.
Tincher summarizes by stating, If blogs are
developed as part of a cohesive marketing campaign, they can be very effective.
