My Blog Name Changed My Entire Life

I asked Dan Schawbel "If you were to start blogging today, would you give your blog a different name?"
His Blog name has had a major impact!

Ted, excellent question.  My entire life has changed since I unearthed my legacy blog and translated it into the Personal Branding Blog on March 15th of this year.  I'm in the midst of thinking of names for my new book, but as of now I feel that the Personal Branding Blog gives me a few great perks.  I've listed the top 4 below, but realize that my passion for personal branding supersedes any website or name given.

1. SEO - by having the domain name personalbrandingblog.com and tying it in with personalbrandingblog.wordpress.com , it's helped me rise to the top of the ranking and claim the #1 spot for personal branding.  The 710 blog links also helped.
2. Name Recognition - people associate personal branding to my name because of my blog.  If you google personal branding or dan schawbel, you will see they both connect.  When people view my blog they already know what I'm going to be speaking about.
3. Hub of Information - My blog has become a central communication, collaboration and information breeding ground.  The term Personal Branding encompasses various related topics, such as entrepreneurship, social media, reputation management and public relations, so it all ties in. 
4. Consistency - Even more so, it shares a consistent message and image with my sister websites; Personal Branding Magazine, The Personal Brand Awards and Personal Branding TV.

Whatever the blog name you have, try to have your blog name on your domain name too. That will give you more stuff to get traffic.
