Blogs Teach the Value of Web Content

Boring.
Does anyone but the writers and copyeditors actually care about the marketability of content? I mean why not just throw up some blurbage to attract a couple of customers, do some fancy link strategizing (you can tell I'm totally from the writer's perspective here) and package it into an OK website and be done with it?

Well, that's not what bloggers do, for one thing.
If there is anything to be learned about the value of web content it is with the revolution of The Blog. Millions of people blog, whether it's their online diary, political views or information associated with their careers, among countless other things. People read them, respond to them, quote them, link to them, comment on them.

Businesses are now encouraging corporate blogging as a means to share and inspire new and necessary information exchange among employees.

My point is, why in an age where we are all craving quantifiable and interesting online information, would businesses fail to see the value of decent content? Not a thesis. But decent, solid, grammatically correct content about something a visitor might actually be interested in that might even spark some deeper searching.

Deeper searching leads to even more content possiblilities.
