Blogs serve many purposes for companies and individuals alike. As easy to use content management systems, blog software enables companies that are “content challenged” a mechanism to create content for subscribing customers and search engines.
While many companies start blogs with SEO in mind, there are many overzealous claims and exaggerated expectations about what works and what doesn’t.
At MarketingBlog.com we’re currently running a poll with business bloggers to better understand the perceived SEO impact of business blogging and would greatly appreciate 1-2 minutes of your participation: http://bit.ly/6Lr4Xb
Responses will be aggregated early next week and an executive summary will be published here on Business Blog Consulting. Full results will also be available in a Business Blogging and SEO Report.
If you’re a business blogger, please take and share the survey.
To make it easy to share the survey on Twitter, Facebook or FriendFeed, here’s a bit of text to copy/paste:

This is a great idea. I’ve never actually researched survey results from other SEOs and businesses – so this will be interesting.
However, the survey link doesn’t seem to be working for me?

I look forward to seeing the results. If not only for the seo reasons having a blog can prove your authority position on a particular subject and is a great way to get your foot in the door on the web.

My experience is a blog can help you more personally accessible to clients in your area of expertise as well as creating SEO content

Why do you think that busines blogs are very rare in Germany? Are we too creepy about entreprise secrets?
