To blog, or not to blog? That is the question we understand all too well. Blogging takes time. It can exhaust your creative juices, of which there are already a limited supply. There are other, more important, revenue-generating tasks you could be devoting your time to. You've got your best writers doing ad copy already. Besides, it's not like blogging is actually that great for your business.

Blogging will not generate revenue right away. You will not see instantaneous traffic. However, over time, blogging has a powerful, revenue-impacting effect on companies of all sizes. Here are several statistics to help illustrate this truth.
