"The higher a law firm blog or website ranks in the search engines, the more prospective clients will visit that blog or website, and the more leads will be generated," explained Joshua Fruchter, a former attorney and President and founder of eLawMarketing. "Therefore, a law firm or lawyer seeking to maximize the number of leads generated by its website or blog should follow 'best practices' when it comes to search engine optimization."

Maximizing the search engine visibility of websites and blogs is particularly important for law firms and lawyers seeking greater media visibility. This is because reporters frequently use search engines to identify experts for their stories. For example, a recent survey found that nearly 30% of journalists report using blogs as a tool to locate experts. To the extent a law firm's blog ranks higher in the search engines, it is more likely to be noticed by reporters searching for a specialist in a particular legal niche.
