Well the results are in to our completely un-scientific sampling of what you, the people, want.

A while back I asked if you thought anonymous or pseudonym blogs were good for business?

Well here are your results:

By our official SuccessCREEations measure, three quarters of folks prefer to know who’s writing what they are reading.

That gives you something to think about when you are gearing up your new business blog. The question of who will be doing the writing is one that should be thought through.

And it seems your business blog will resonate with more people more easily if there is a known person behind it.

Anonymous or Pseudonym Blogs - Good For Business?

Here’s a question to get your synapses firing as you head into the weekend.

Should your business blog author be anonymous or use a pseudonym?

There are some good arguments for going either way. Some of them even make more sense than this Dilbert cartoon here.

From a business perspective, having an anonymous blog or writing it under a pseudonym allows an easier transition between authors. Changing blog authors is easier too.

You can also have several contributers all appearing like one busy blogger that way.

However, how might that be perceived by the readership?

Do people even care who the author of the blog is as long as the content is good?

What are the downsides?
