Just a few reasons why a blog is a great tool for SEO.

• Fresh content - the search engines love that.


• Growing website - the search engines love that, too.


• Multiple variations of keywords to attract highly-targeted long-tale searchers.


• Highly relevant pages from which to link into the main pages of your website.


• Keeps you in touch with your topic, not just the technicalities of SEO.


• You can submit your blog to blog-specific directories, providing extra link love.


• You can easily trade content, not just links.


• Assuming you can generate even a modest amount of traffic for your blog, you can get links to individual posts through social bookmarking (especially if you have a tool like TheBookmarketer at the bottom of each post, as I do).


• Blog open doors to real-people networking on the Internet, and that is always helpful when it comes to link-building and other forms of collaboration, such as blogrolls and webrings.
