Blog is short for web log. A web log is a journal of sorts that is updated
frequently to keep your visitors’ interest. Blogs are generally of a personal
nature and express the opinions and thoughts of the webmaster. Blogs also
contain links and other resources. Many people think of blogs as “online
diaries.” Blogging is becoming a very popular method of publishing as it
does not require any technical knowledge and it can greatly increase the
popularity of your site. Some blogs allow the visitors to post and enter
there thoughts and opinions as well.
A blog keeps people coming back to your site and a blog is also very helpful

engines love new content!
