Do You Blog? If Not Your Are Losing Out.

Something I could never in my wildest dreams see myself doing was BLOGGING....
I don't consider myself much of a writer, blogging sounded pointless and boring to say the least. Then one day I joined the renegade university to learn some new internet marketing and network marketing skills. I was particularly interest in this new thing called WEB2.0 that everybody was talking about.
To cut a long story short, one of the many great ways they teach on how to market your business and yourself very effectively was blogging.
Mike Klingler (renegade university) talked about how much blogging is growing and that we'd be crazy as internet marketers not to have a blog. Mike further explained that the search engines absolutely loves blogs because of many factors.
One of the key reasons why a blog will out rank a static html site is because search engines loves new content and with blogging you are adding new content on a daily or weekly basis and if you ping your blog correctly then the search engine spiders will keep indexing your site higher and higher.
Mike further explained how each blog post is like a new web page and gets indexed seperately and that over time you will have so many pages and content on your blog that your blog will start showing up on google for tons of different keywords.
Blogs are also more personal than static html sites and the writer and his readers can engage each other much easier and that makes blogging very effective and a great marketing tool.
I decided to try blogging and watched the step by step blogging videos from the renegade university, created my blog and started posting some useful info on it once every few days and now only once a week (i know i'm slacking). I also promoted my blog quite a bit in the beginning by posting in forums, linking to it from sites like hub pages , squidoo and other blogs.
After a few weeks I started seeing some traffic come in from google and other search engines. Now I don't even promote my blog at all anymore and I get traffic every single day like clockwork to my blog.
What more could an internet marketer ask for?
