Blogs are essentially websites that are alive! This means your blog will grow as you continue to publish posts or pages regularly to your blog. In contrast, many websites are seldom modified or updated after they are created. 2. Blogs are designed to publish and update contents easily once you have them set up, configured and running. Once you get the hang of it, it's a matter of getting into that habit of writing blog posts and pages and publishing them regularly. 3. They are either FREE or cost very little to set up. You can create your blogs easily by visiting blogger.com or wordpress.org.You’ll be learning how to set up a free blog using blogger in this ebook. 4. You can make money with your blogs in many ways, such as: Publishing third-party ads in your blogs (eg. Google Adsense pubishing), recommending affiliate products and services in your blogs (eg. Amazon)and selling advert spaces in your blog (if it is self hosted).

5. Blogs are interactive. Visitors, or blog readers, are usually allowed to post comments for a blog post (or article) to the blog owner. This helps to build rapport and relationship between the blog owner and his visitors or members. 6. Blogs rank higher in the search engines more than website. This is because blogs are usually updated regularly via blog posts and pages. In a website, you have to do a lot of tweaking through Search Engine Optimization (SEO) techniques. Search engines will visit your blogs more regularly as you blog more regularly. Thus, you can also place links of your other websites to get them indexed quickly by the search engines. 7. Furthermore a blog's syndication function is its most powerful benefit! You can syndicate the contents of your blog, that is allowing other website publishers to publish your feed (or channel) on their sites. This helps to bring more traffic to your blogs as the visitors of these sites subscribe to your feed via web-based or desktop newsreaders.
