I agree with you - I doubt 1/2 (or more) of the people with blogs, actually have anything to say - let alone something worth reading. I also have concerns - as I have seen this first hand - that to much blogging can actually take away sales from your site. Although it helps greatly with SEO, if you share to much info - then your site becomes an informational site, and not a sales site. I have a client where we see this. They blog alot - and its all very good info. But we can see people search, come look at the info - and never return again. Why? Cause they wanted info and got it. Now they can shop anywhere! My advice - blog away - carefully. Hi Mike,
