Got Google juice?
Fun post on Jackie Huba's Church of the Customer blog about Google juice. She notes that blogging may be the cheapest way to SEO (search engine optimize) a company's site. As she puts it succinctly: "Frequent and interesting blog posts encourage inbound links." Bloggers Robert Scoble and Chris Pirillo snag the #1 Robert and #1 Chris spots respectively in Google search results. Just discovered I'm Debbie #3 on Google, after U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-Mich) and Little Debbie cupcakes. Kinda cool. Thanks to Zane Safrit for the link to Jackie's blog.
Gnomedex might push you to #1. :)

I agree with you about the power of blogging over an e-mailed news letter and also as a powerful SEO tool. Using just a blog I've been able to gain over 80 #1 Google rankings. They remain even with the recent Google reshuffle.
The blog in questions is "The Fragile Last Mile of BI: Spreadsheet Risks & Fraud Analysis" and the link is http://blogs.ittoolbox.com/bi/spreadsheet/
if anybody wants to check it out.
It is not as if the #1 rankings are for obscure phrases.
Blog on people, blog on.
