Blogs... Are they essential to my internet marketing campaign? - An Investigation into the effectiveness of blogs in internet marketing

Are you an aspiring internet marketer? Do you wonder about blogs and its effectiveness in helping you make money online? Let me reveal to you why blog writing should be a part of any internet marketer's arsenal in earning cash online.

A blog or weblog was simply an online diary that originated with people using it for a creative practice while also allowing others to leave comments on your topics at the same time. But did you know blogs are also very popular, useful and very often free online business marketing tools?

Here are some advantages of using blogs:


1) Search Engine Friendly - Search Engines prefer blog content more so than a lot of other types of websites. The reason for this is because blogs were originally created to be easy for search engine bots to move around in. What this means is that your blogs would generally rank higher than your regular webpages.
2) Low startup cost - If you are interested in internet marketing but want to start without using any cash, there are many free bloging sites out there to captialize on. Writing a blog is a good way of putting up your information, links, products on the internet without spending money. Take note to read terms and conditions of your blogging site however as there may be restrictions to what you can do with your blog.
3) Social Bookmarking - A blog can attract traffic via the thousands of social bookmarking tools around per blog post made, instead of per page like a normal website. This is obviously very powerful with potential of attracting thousands of unique visitors per day if your content is good.
4) Offering RSS Feed - RSS is a method of distributing links to content in your web site that you would like others to use; it's a mechanism to "syndicate" your content. An RSS feed for blogs is very easy to set up since many blogging tools already generate RSS files anyway. By using RSS it will increase your exposure to other internet areas or even the mobile phone networks.
With the above mentioned advantages of a blog over a normal website, what are you waiting for? A blog that is well written and set up is capable of attracting good constant traffic per day and generate constant streams of money for you day after day.
