I knew it was the way to go but I wasn't too coherent with my reasons and though he finally said okay, I knew he was not too convinced.

I knew it was the way to go but I wasn't too coherent with my reasons and though he finally said okay, I knew he was not too convinced.

Let me share the ones I consider the top 10 with you. I have learnt that there are different strokes for different folks. Business is opened to the world

Blogs are universal. Social media networks like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn etc are accessible only when you join. A blog allows you to achieve a potentially infinite number of customers for your businesses. A blog organises your information effortlessly for the benefit of the visitors. They can move easily through the categories, post archives, move from page to page or simply scroll down the post.

2. People use the search engines to find the answers to their most pressing questions. You will attract traffic.

Blogging demonstrates true commitment and passion to your industry that you really can't fake long-term.

3. If a blog owner has got accounts on Twitter, Facebook and other social networks, it's easy for you to pimp your profile with your blog address and depending on how knowledgeable you are, you can drive a large amount of traffic from them to your site. For instance, Katie drives as much as 100 leads daily, sometimes more, just by utilizing social networks.

Backlinkings, pinging, certain plug-ins, and RSS feeds capabilities are all geared towards creating free traffic for you.

4. What do you do with a newspaper after you read it? You don't toss the subscription out, but you will toss out the pages you've already read. A static Website is far less likely to make sense or be found at Blog Catalog, Technorati, Reddit, Digg, StumbleUpon, Mixx, and etcetera. Old Tweets live in archive purgatory where a majority will never be seen again. Google loves Blogs

Blogs are perfect for search engine optimization. This will cause your site to rank higher when potential customers search for your products and services and drive more traffic to your entire site

Google and other search engines want to find you. Having information about every possible topic is a basis for their industry.

Search engines like recent material. This is why the big three search engines often include how recent a piece of content is, when deciding how to rank it. Easy and cheap to set up

You will be surprised how easily and cheaply you can get started with a blog. I wanted to have a presence online and I decided to get a blog. Go to http://www. com and you will see them literally begging you to allow them give you a blog. It is quite easy to maintain too. Blogging unites people of like minds

The interactive nature of blogs is hard to beat. It can give you varying perspectives.

I have met some great people who followed a link from a comment I left on a blog and wanted to know more about me.

Blogging brings like-minded people together.

8. You are not limited to a specific number of characters like twitter does or forced to fall in line with a draconian TOS (Term of Service) like Facebook.

Blogs allow for a great deal of creativity.

Plug-ins let you add pretty much anything you want, can even integrate micro blogging within your blog itself. You can tush up your blog anyhow and anyway you desire. Labour of Love

Blogs are a labour of love that requires time, effort and often brain-power. Once you create good content that sticks, it is worth the time it took to create it. It is such a labour of love that you will still want to update it even when you know there will be nobody to read it - but eventually someone will in the future. Okay, It`s your turn!

Of course, I will give you the chance to put the 10th reason.
