    Relevant blogs with unique articles and unique class-c IP , even free blogs are the best and cheapest way to get popularity ,and trusted by SE.
    Remember to act naturally , in content linking and avoid footer blog roll link like farms

    I think you should only create a blog if you plan to spend time on making it interesting, having a blog purely for SEO purpose will not be any good in the long run.

    I think frank's got the right idea...

    Blog for link building only works if you're going to use it as a series of linkbaits.

    Linkbaits are simply pages or in this example blog posts that have something so newsworth, interesting or valuable that people drive links to it on autopilot.

    Asking "Should I get a blog for seo" is kinda like asking, "should I buy a race car to win a race?"
    Yes, however you still need to learn the strategy behind it...

    The short answer is no. Only create something or add to an existing offering if it's going to provide value to your users.

    well disagree with above two ...blog is nice way to maintain your news of websites and it really helps for seo purposes but you have to be honest thats it.

    If you're using a blog to provide news about your company, site, and so forth, then I'd have to claim that IS providing something of value to your users, so you're technically agreeing with me. ;)

    Blog consider as the best way to get traffic. Every website prefer a separate section for blog to update their relevant clients. You can get many links also from their. GO for a blog and maintain it daily.

    Create blog for your readers but make it SE Friendly. You can get natural links by creating interesting article that people would like to link to your site.

    Yes i think this if you are to bother creating unique content, why not create it on the main site? Better time spent getting other blogs to link to you.

    I have an a couple of automotive blogs and I write about all kinds of interesting stuff. Well these blogs are some of the strongest backlinks to my dealer sites. So yes blogs are great for SEO.

    3 things though

    1) Self-hosted blogs are the best
    2) BlogSpot blogs are ok
    3) Blogs hosted on wordpress (not powered by wordpress, but hosted on) will eventually get shut down if used for SEO

    instead of creating a blog you can try commenting on other people's blogs.. it is a much better way to increase your SEO. You can use an automated software for this purpose or you can do it manually.
