Here`s My Top 5 Reasons for Liking Blogs

Advantages of Blogs

Blogs are probably the easiest way to have a website. With blog
software, it literally takes minutes to have a professional looking
site up and running. These are the five things I like the most about
blogs:

1) Blogs are easy to create:

You don`t need expensive or complicated web editors or web design
software to create a blog. Blog vendors offer you a variety of
templates you can choose from. Most likely you will find among them
one that offers the look and feel you`re looking for. Your only web
design expense may very well be to pay a graphics artist to design an
attractive logo that makes your site unique.

2) Blogs are easy to maintain:

Blog software allows you to post online, which means that you won"t
need to bother with FTP software. This also means that you can post
anywhere, not just from your own computer. You may be ...
... in a hotel room
in China, and if it has an internet connection you can log in and
update your website from your web-based control panel. Your blog"s
software will automatically move your most recent post to the top,
while archiving older posts by date or by topic, so you don`t ever
have to bother to move web pages around.

3) Blogs are search-engine-friendly:

Since blogs assign each post an individual URL address, each of them
will have it`s own, separate web page. If you take care of making
each post very focused on a specific topic and carefully choose the
keywords that best describe your post (using them in the post title
and post body), they will stand a very good chance of ranking well
with the search engines. Also, since blogs tend to be updated
regularly, search engines will crawl them often (search engines love
fresh content), adding your new posts to their index.

4) Blogs allow you to interact with your customer base:

The best websites allow your customers to interact with you and give
feedback. Since blogs offer you the option of enabling a "comments"
field after your posts where readers can give you feedback, your
visitors will not only be more inclined to come back, but you will
have at your disposal an effective and inexpensive way to get to know
your customers better.

5) Many great blog hosts are free:

There are several excellent services that offer blog hosting for
free. The most well known of them is Blogger, a free blog service
owned by Google. Signing up takes minutes, it offers many different
templates and customization options, and also gives you the option of
tying your blog with your Google Adsense account. That way, not only
is the service free, but you can also make money. The downside to all
these great advantages is that they have encouraged the creation of a
huge number of me-too and low quality blogs that don`t add value and
hardly get any traffic. Don`t fall into that trap. Before jumping to
create a blog, remember that to be successful you must write about a
focused and original topic, or offer a unique perspective on a common
theme. In the end, as the cliché says, it all boils down to quality
content.
