Google is going to love blogs more
Getting away from computer wallpaper pictures for a minute (because we haven't been anywhere to take any since San Simeon (below)), I just wanted to point out that I have a blog about small business blogging, and another about how blogs can help your web site get higher search engine rankings, and I'd hope that any small business owners who stumble upon this would go check it out.

Because Google's most recent update to how it ranks sites includes changes in the value of links found within fresh, often updated content (read: blogs), links from blogs will also be more valuable now. That's one reason why I encourage small business owners to get a blog. There are many other reasons, like better contact with customers, showing first time web site visitors that you care enough about them to post something once a week, and helping customers with problems by using the blog as a kind of customer support knowledge base.
