blogs!!!

but I don't have to post something on a daily or even a weekly basis because the information doesn't expire quickly. The key on these blogs is to have enough information available that people will come back again and again to use your site as a reference and a resource. As that begins to happen, you become an expert in your field and you begin to build a loyal base of followers and customers that come to you for solutions to their problems. This is great because you can build a blog with good information over time without having to dedicate time to it every day, but each post you put on your blog adds value to your site visitors and pretty soon you've got a valuable collection of information that will bring a lot of people to your site and help you build a relationship of trust with them. The drawbacks are that you generally won't get people coming back to your site at such regular intervals. That, and a category based blog takes a little more planning and forethought than a chronological blog.
