		<description>I don&#039;t think so, Blog is the hart of SEO. this days if you are not in the op of search pages you are wasting time unless you write for certain audience..but if you want your words all over.. then you should be SEO friend.

This is the life and this what google said..


I find your blog because you were in the top 10 in google.. so I came here.</description>

		<description>Mark, no truer words have ever been spoken (to steal a phrase).

I&#039;m a copywriter by training but branched into organic search engine optimization and search engine marketing because it was a natural extension of what I do.

Admittedly, I began my blog as a way to force myself to regularly add content to my website. however, since then it has grown into much more than that.

Now, it&#039;s become interactive with my monthly newsletter and my articles I post on the &#039;Net. Articles feed to the blog, the blog feeds to articles on my site, my newsletter feeds to articles and my blog.

What&#039;s more, my blog has an RSS feed that posts my blog on my Facebook page. The whole thing has become a &quot;web&quot; of content of different styles, purpose and functionality, all feeding back to my website.</description>

		<description>@ Kian Ann Absolutely agree and thanks for your comment

@ Paul Good idea, there&#039;s no one who knows better what your readers want to see than your readers themselves. So ask them! Mix these in and you&#039;ll soon find a balance that will help continually develop both your blog and your readership. Thanks for leaving your comment and thoughts!</description>

		<description>@Graham Wise words as ever, Graham, thanks for your comment. At the end of the day, it&#039;s a case of remembering who pays the bills and that&#039;s not going to be Google.

@ Randy Glad that it helped</description>

		<description>Well put, Mark.

We started blogging for our startup when we launched. Posting was a bit shy in the beginning, but I discovered that as soon as we set up a posting frequency, it got more fun. 

Now, we&#039;re mainly spending time trying to come up with new ideas that will grow into consistent posts and sometimes we almost forget about traffic. If you keep the posting to a steady frequency and the quality of the posts to as high as possible, the readers come. It&#039;s a nice surprise to check google analytics from time to time and see how the traffic went up.

I think that some business blogs gravitate too much around the business they&#039;re promoting that they become boring to read. It&#039;s good to keep close to what people would want to read on your blog and, why not, even ask them what they want to read from time to time. I did it in &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.teamness.com/2008/11/blogging-for-startup.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this post&lt;/a&gt; and I got quite a few interesting answers.

In my opinion, the business blog must be a rich resource that people will find interesting to read, and this will drive them to your product, fulfilling the mission of the blog.</description>

		<description>You made an excellent point, Mark.  

Ultimately, the blog should be built for reader first and search spiders second. Its useful to have a seo friendly blog, but its more important to have a community of readers and great content!</description>

		<description>Excellent point, well made Mark. Many people appear to forget that a blog is really a conversation with your readers. It is not a dialogue with a search engine robot. Far too many people in my view are focusing their efforts on search engines, yet it is their readers who will spend money with them. So, as you say, focusing on the reader is the sure-fire way to success. In fact, it&#039;s what Google says we should do in its advice to webmasters where it says that if you write for human readers, the Google robots will follow and index appropriately. Write for those robots and you risk losing the human readers.</description>
