A blog is an instantly, easily and frequently updated website. But how do blogs help businesses?

It can get your info out in front of a lot of people...

well if that business is trying to sell a product or service a blog could help out.

i recently read on another website that visitors usually don't buy on their first visit, so your goal is to get that visitor to return back some other time. a blog could serve for that purpose.

plus it's good for seo (or so i read)

They don't especially.

A blog is just a website, there is nothing magical about them. It makes FAR more sense to put ALL the information on the website you are actually trying to promote.

blog is something on which you can add information and use ppc to earn money

PPC is Pay Per Click and costs money each time some one clicks on an advert.

Sometimes a blog is just a part of website. For example hosting provider having blogs with relevant information have more chances to get clients for long terms. Making people think you know what services you are providing you create trust, I believe.

Having a blog in itself has no particular benefit. It is a tool, basically a website that arranges content in a particular order (chronological, by category, etc.), allows commenting and interaction. What information you put there and how you interact with your community is more important. That might have a positive or negative effect on your business.

Chris:

I agree 100% w/ you - but what if the business puts (let's say) a WP blog on their website? For an example - business dot com/blog - that would still be on the businesses' website. I'm assuming that is something that you were talking about?

That my not be very accurate in many cases.........
A lot of blogs have trouble getting backlinks...
(Read some forums).....

It is obvious. By means of a blog it is possible to advance the goods effectively and cheaply.

Plus, typical business sites are static in nature since after all they're there to inform others about their site. That's where blogs come in, to redirect your audience's attention into something related to your business still but more engaging and most of the time demands user interaction.

It helps in popularizing your site especially in Sales.

blogs explain your business to every person b'coz many people use to read blogs.and it gives popularity to your business.

Well, would gives you a dependable perception and capability plus, few good words..lol

If your business does not have a website then a blog would help your business from an internet aspect. Being able to blog about your business as long as you are adding strong original content you could help build your reputation and hopefully help your business grow.

It will serves as your site partner in driving traffic to your site.

Like others have mentioned Update Your Blog Frequently ~ Google Likes Fresh Content!

It helps to engage more with your customers and help you to get repetitive customers and build long term profitable customer relationship.

Blogs can help businesses on multiple levels. A few that come right to mind would be that they give more information that people may be wanting. They also can further explain certain things that the companies doing. Whether this be expanding, cutting expenditures, or even promoting new products. Overall, I think every business should have some type of blog, as it's just another great tool for marketing.
