I am a firm believer that every website should include a blog as part of their overall strategy for building traffic. Not only does it add fresh valuable content to your site, but it also loads up your site with a wide variety of potential new keyword combinations that will show up in search engines.

Here are my ten reasons why every site should include a blog.

1. Fresh content added to your site on a regular basis.
2. Gives readers a reason to check your site everyday for new content.
3. Lots of great new keyword combinations for search engines to pick up on.
4. Works as a great tool for announcing new products and features.
5. Allows you to give away valuable content for free, adding more value to your site.
6. Writing stimulates thinking and can help you generate new ideas for your business.
7. Share new ideas with your customers and get immediate feedback.
8. Adds more searchable pages to your site (be sure to create a unique page for every blog entry).
9. Helps build credibility and trust with your visitors.
10. It’s hardwork but it can also be very fun and rewarding.
