Hi,

I just searched in google for “Shemas Eivers” and your blog post came out top… which sort of proves your point.

Another great thing about blogs is that they ping the search engines. This means that when you submit a post it pings the bots to come and scan your fresh new content. So, with a blog you will get index faster and have better success of getting more pages indexed.

I’m the daily blog reader. I come to know that in practice tags are the meat information of the post, but usually more relevant. I mean it is very easy to optimize for someones name, and I can do it for a static page without even using a blog.

Stuart blogs do help alot for SEO, but to say they are best tool for SEO is a stretch.

You missed something above, but still used it… tags.

From looking at my logs, while most of the incomming readers are from search engines, quite a few (25%) come from tag searches (Technorati mostly). I actually suspect some of the tags are the search terms.

In practice tags are the meat information of the post, but usually more relevant.

Couldn’t agree more.

I implemented blogs for the company I work for and within two weeks our sales director had jumped from page 18 (when searching for his name) on Google to the number two spot.

Blogs are by far and away the best SEO tool around.
