01 December 2011
A blog (a blend of the term web log) is a type of website or part of a website supposed to be updated with new content from time to time. Blogs are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. Blog can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Although not a must, but most good quality blogs are interactive, allowing visitors to leave comments and even message each other via widgets on the blogs and it is this interactivity that distinguishes them from other static websites.

Many blogs provide commentary on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries; yet still others function more as online brand advertising of a particular individual or company. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability of readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs. Many of our clients will ask us if they need to add a blog to their website and we will usually tell them only if they are going to update it on a regular basis, you see if some one is visiting your site and considering using your services then it is important to have a relatively current blog post as it might look like your company does not put the time in to keep current.

For SEO purposes it is essential to blog and blog often. This gives Google a reason to visit your website on a regular basis in order to find out what is new and interesting with your company. Blogging is essential to your quality score with Google as well, since no one is going to stay on your website to read dated information.
