Online Businesses are Like 'Nothing' Without Blogs?

Sheesh, all these people flogging the benefits of blogs.

Blogs are still relevant. Just. Nothing more, nothing less.

Can you explain your reasoning behind this in more detail, King? The reason I ask is that I'm starting to believe that traditional blogs are becoming less widely read because there's so many of them available and by and large, most Internet users already have favourite blogs that they visit regularly anyway. I'm not sure if there's actually that much need for too many new blogs.

What I tend to see more these days is underlying blog pages that are used for content instead of opinions and I can see the reasoning behind it. They seem to be effective enough in terms of SEO but being the chap that writes the articles for them, I'm often left wondering about the way these things perform.

Blogging may be use for creative gesture of your product and to make deep links.

I always thought that blogs were a good starting point for those who want to begin building a presence on the internet. I have no plans to do my own but other marketers that I have subscribed to seem to blog regularly. Maybe some markets do not work as well with blogs as others?
