SEO Process- Blogs (Step 7)

Do blogs help with your SEO efforts? The buzz about them sure implies that they do! While there is some truth to that, blogs mainly just help with your overall marketing efforts. Like anything else SEO related, no one practice is going to make or break you (we'll maybe break you if you're spamming!). We have clients that rank incredibly well on competitive phrases without any blog at all; so one would think they're not needed to rank well based upon that. To blog is to be committed, write daily; supplying good information that keeps your visitors interested as well as entertained.
