Think about it: the very thing searchengines love most, fresh content, is the very nature ofblogging. Most blogs, at least commercial ones, are very ontopic, keyword oriented, and frequently updated. Themarketing piece concerning blogs is still in it's infancybut growing fast. There is little more powerful these daysthan a content blog hosted on your own site that is updateddaily. I have blogs that get more traffic than the site theyare sitting on! Think about this. It'll be worth it! Blogs and RSS feeds are the next big thing that's alreadyhere!
