Blogging is still one of the very best ways to keep your website content fresh, website sticky, and build quality content over time that readers and search engines like. Of most value is the ability of blogs to slowly and naturally add links to your online portfolio in a non-spammy way. Here is just one example of how blogging actually helps to slowly build links: As of today in Google Webmaster tools client\u00a0one who does not blog and has\u00a0a mature website and does a monthly newsletter has 833 inbound links. In comparison in Google Webmaster tools client\u00a0two who does blog\u00a0three days a week and has\u00a0a mature website and does not do\u00a0a monthly newsletter has\u00a022,541 inbound\u00a0links. To further illustrate, in Google Webmaster tools client\u00a0three who does blog\u00a0three days a week and has\u00a0a mature website and does not do\u00a0a monthly newsletter has\u00a04,744 inbound\u00a0links. Pretty big differences in link numbers! There is no better way to naturally build link numbers that help you with organic placement than to have a well-written blog that is regularly updated.
