Blogging is turning out to be quite important and can be the key to google rank. Corporations are foolish to not take advantage of this and have employees who's job does include daily blogging. There are other ways to optimize web sites, of course, but what could be easier?

If you're an employee and are starting a blog, you better use a lot of common sense. Though it can be bad PR for the company, many bloggers deserve to get fired for some thoughtless postings.

Corporate blogging is, indeed, a great industry to be in right now. The advantages of organic search and blogging are too great for any corporation to ignore. I hope some day you share the only blogging platform targeting businesses and corporations. ;)
