I had a domain that just had a blank page on it. It was like this for a couple of years. Then I started a blog, using Movable Type (this is kinda key, since Movable Type generates a unique HTML page for EVERY post.. meaning tons of pages = good PageRank!).. and after 6 weeks it was a PR6.. and still is.

It also comes up as #1 for my full name, which is also the name of the guy who invented a bunch of stuff, and is semi-famous as an American pioneer. I tend to get a lot of Google traffic based around things I posted about, and particularly from search queries which match things in the post titles.

So, depending on what game you're in, weblogs can be a great idea, but you have to do it properly.

(Oh, and consider wikis too, they are also pretty good for SEO purposes in some situations.)
