		<description>Thanks for the comment Kevin...You&#039;re absolutely right. The SEO benefits are huge. 

I&#039;ve also seen some of the biggest wins come from simple soft-sell situations. For example, say a client of mine is an active participant on LinkedIn. They genuinely respond to someone&#039;s question on a forum. That answer prompts a visit to my client&#039;s website and the high-quality blog content communicates their expertise. My client get&#039;s hired. 

It&#039;s like clockwork when done right. 

Take care brother...</description>

		<description>Good post Brody. You hear every online marketer say &quot;add a blog&quot;, but I wonder if many even know the real reason why.

Unless you already have a large following, posts by themselves rarely bring in much of a traffic spike. It&#039;s the act of actively blogging that improves domain authority with search engines. 

It&#039;s fun to see how fast a sites overall keyword footprint grows when you actively blog.</description>
