Blogs are very useful to get Good PR. But i have heard of some SEO expert and they didn’t give any importance to Blog. I think Blog are more useful and easiest way to increase ranking.

Excellent article!

“Blogs are no silver bullet though and require working hard and smart - especially smart.”

I couldn’t agree more with this statement.

[...] While people in the SEO or SEM business might understand that blogs can help attract search engine generated online traffic, my experience - admittedly with the small business sector, things may be different at the big end of town - is that many business owners don’t get the connection between blogs and SEO and are missing out on a potentially valuable source of traffic. In presentations to business people for whom, typically, business blogging is a bit of a mystery, or perhaps seen by them as some techie fad, I provide a quick, layman’s explanation of how blogs help attract search-generated traffic, and I comment to the effect that blogs, with their fresh content, attract more interest from the search engines than do static, unchanging websites. I know there is a lot more to the story than that, but I’m no SEO expert and getting my head more comprehensively around the issue has been on my list of things to do, soon! So it was great to read today fellow Business Blog Consulting blogger Lee Odden’s post Blogs as SEO Tools. He goes way beyond my “fresh content” argument (although that is included) and provides a list of no fewer than nine benefits that can accrue from using blog technology, not just as a communication platform but with full utilization of its content management system capability.

That’s a great point Jim. I’ve been blogging with our current domain name, toprankblog.com for about 1 1/2 years. However, we’ve had great rankings withing a few months on some phrases that were particularly effective at attracting links.

Here’s a recent example. We published a list of 250 search marketing blogs recently that attracted a very large number of links from other blogs. At the time we did not rank anywhere on Google for “search marketing blogs”, but within a week or so ranked #1.

Great article Lee and a good showing of how powerful a blog can be as an SEO tool. Can you expand on when these results can be expected. Your site has been operating for a long period of time and the results you give are a result of long hard work. When does the business blogger begin to see the blog start its magic?
