    Blogs are a great way to get established as an expert in an area. Also is a easy and inexpensive way to gain a web presence. Services such as wordpress and blogger allow you to customize your theme so you have a website up earning you revenue in no time at all.

    On top of that, updating it is also very easy. You can update it from anywhere and don't have to use an FTP client. Blogs get indexed pretty quickly as well.

    If you are a company, blogs help you to communicate with your customers more effectively.

    Blogs are easy to make ( Installing wordpress, for example, takes just five minutes), and most of the work is done for you. The URL's are seo friendly, and can be adjusted as you wish.

    Blogs are just articles you post on a blogsite. Others read the article and any others which they can find whilst browsing your blogsite. There are many applications for blogs, i.e you could post video content, your personal views, reviews etc.

    Blogs mean updated content, many times on a daily basis and the search engines love it. In fact with wordpress you will find your posts indexed by Google for example in less than an hour...which is pretty impressive when you think about it.

    Blogging is only a content management system. It's easy to post frequently. If you are crazy you can do the same thing with HTML.

    Blogs can bring lots of traffic if you know the technique.
    Blogs can easily get high PR if you know the technique too :)

    I have two blogs with PR4 n PR5 (both are just 2 months old).

    From blogs, you can promote your website or business.

    Please let me know if you want a free wordpress plugin software
    which give you free backlinks everytime u blog.

    That's a great point - systems like Wordpress are great because you can use them as a simple and easily customisable content management system.
    It's a great timesaver Vs creating new content each time with HTML & CSS.

    Best of all every new post you add to it can by syndicated via RSS feeds.

    Blogs are supposed to be updated frequently and google and other search engines loves those sites which updates their content frequently, and blogs are the best way to do that.

    Yeah - especially if you have something like the Google Sitemaps plugin for Wordpress which automatically notifies all the major search engines of any changes.

    Blogs are crawled frequently, so as long as you make sure you update it with lots of useful relevant content that is good for SEO purposes.

    People can then find you naturally in web searches!
