MINNEAPOLIS, MN – March 11, 2008 – Small Business Mavericks, a division of Melberg Marketing, today announced a major new product release, Biz Blogging Basics, a complete D-I-Y Blogging kit and guide by Mavericks founder Caroline Melberg that explains why and how blogs can dramatically increase Web site traffic, improve search engine rankings, drive sales, build existing customer loyalty, and pre-empt crises.

“Intelligent blogging has emerged as one of the key things that distinguishes successful small business owners from struggling ones,” says Small Business Mavericks founder and President Caroline Melberg. “Blogging is brand-building on every level – with the important benefit of improved search engine rankings for your website, when you blog correctly, that is. Google and the other search engines love blogs, and they get indexed and ranked much faster than a typical website online. I like to say, BLOG stands for: Better Listings on Google!”
