This is the fourth video in my new Blogging Guide, on this video I am talking about the importance of “About us” page and how to write your about page in the best form to present your site, blog, internet business or even yourself to your visitors when they want to know more about you, it’s your chance to tell them why they should listen to you.

About page is one of the most important pages for any website, I visited a few blogs that has interesting “About” pages, I have edited my blog “about” page, and before doing it I came across  a few examples of about pages to see what others put on it and get some ideas to came with this video of my blogging Blogging Guide to you, I hope it will you to enhance your about page.

I hope you will learn something from this video:

    Honestly, I never really cared a lot about "About Me" pages. After reading your blog post and watching your video, I think this was a big mistake. So, it's time for me now to spend some time on my "About Me" page.
    • Andrew says:
      Great Robert...I hope the video helps as the 'About Me' page is often the most viewed on your site. Andrew

      Thanks, Fran. Think you will now change your About page as a result? Andrew

    I totally agree, every site, blog or company site should have an About page. Visitors want to know more about you/your company, so instead of making them dig around your site or Google it's good to have a visible link to the About page. It does vary what a person puts on the page but as long as it's concise and flows with the rest of the site it should be good to go.

    Does people actually click on your about-page often? I guess the people who are really interested in your site will. Should update my about page. I must say: It's not very informative! Thank you for this kind reminder.

    Thanks for the info, Andrew I like most of your examples here - although some of seem a little boring, but that comes down to personal style. They're all well structured and have tons, and I mean tons of links. I really need to link it up ! (I haven't got a single link on my about page, Heck !) Every day I'm thinking about improving my page, as I want it to kick ass as much as possible ! I'm getting there, I'm getting there.... thanx ! .-= Mars Dorian´s last blog ..How to Take your Personal Brand one Level Higher ! =-.
    • Andrew says:
      Mars About pages are very much down to personal taste but you do want a few links...even if it's to your contact page or fav blog post. Andrew .-= Andrew @ Blogging Guide´s last blog ..How to Get All the Free Traffic You Want =-.
