What is a Blog: Blog short for web logs is a frequent publication of personal thoughts and Web links. Web page that serves as a publicly-accessible personal journal/diaries for individuals and businesses. Let start! Where do I start?

Back in 1999 there were a dozen or so communities of web logs. Today there are a half of million and continue to grow. With the emails being blocked by so many ISPs, blogs could be the answer to getting out your message, in forms of advertising, promotion, and sending out newsletters. A blog can be an incredible tool for sharing information, expertise, and a form of communication. A blog offers a business a chance to build a real community of readers and an effective way to market your business and yourself. Should webmasters be adding blogs to their site? I would have to say it can only help it. If you're serious about building a community of readers, you should post frequently, at least three times a week. Users will bookmark your blog and return to it regularly if they find new quality content every time they visit. Having a business blog will add new content to your site frequently and affect your site's search engine rankings positively. Your business blog will be searched by search engine. Each individual blog entry exists as a separate page that can also be picked up by the search engines. It'll cost you zero money and very little time to ad your blog to blog directories around the Web. Blog directories- BlogSnob Search Engines
