    Blogging is a waste of time, it serves no purpose on the internet, and if it is an addition to your site does not contribute to any seo or other value at all.


    Ok guys a statement you agree or disagree with and why?

    Completely disagree, I'm not going to go into the hundreds of reasons at this time of night though!

    Blogging allows you to get closer to your audience, bring a more personal aspect into things
    Blogging can be a nice way to announce news etc
    Blogging is a good way of networking and meeting new people
    Blogging can be a profitable business, example: johnchow.com
    Of course blogging has SEO value, it's brand new unique content... apart from those weird blogs which is just the owner pasting content, guides etc from elsewhere - of course those blogs get nowhere

    I also disagree...
    Blogs is a useful part of an internet marketing strategy. Having blog/s for your website is a good way to drive traffic to your website. The good thing about blog is that people are following you as a person and not an impersonal business site. Because you interact with your readers, they would listen to an opinion or advice given by you rather than a face-less business site.

    totally 100% disagree

    Blogging is a great way to share information and to make it genuine. I really like to read blogs because they add a touch of personality to sometimes otherwise boring news

    I'm with the previous posts. Blogs have the potential to offer so much extra that you wouldn't normally add onto a website, and its more personal too. For me it's not just an SEO tool is like an extra part of the site.

    I DISAGREE. Blogs are the best way to earn some bucks via Advertising. The visitors who come to blog like to read all the stuff and in this thought they click ads while we make revenue. There are many other advantages of blog and Mike has explained them above.
