Suggestion for new section

blogs

[paybacksa]

Blogs are important technology and actually quite distinct from websites in general.

There are several main blog services now well established, and several free/open source blogs establishing themselves.

Blogs are commercially important (ecommerce).

Blogs are a significant source/sink for Internet traffic, and are impacting PPC quite seriously.

There are numerous cool SEO factors associated with blogs.... effective and funfor research.

There are interesting and challenging integration factors associated with blogs.

In summary, I believe blogs need theirown section at WebmasterWorld,separate and distinct from the current fora. Sure they other fora apply to webmasters using blogs, but a Blog forum would provide community space for blog tools,blog seo,blog management, blog this/that all of which are different from "regular websites".

Humbly submitted.

Just in case anybody has doubts, take a look at the traffic numbers for some of the blogs that hit popularity leading up to the election.

Here's an example... it's a blog, has depth of original content, themed linking galore, ads and adsense and all that good WebmasterWorld stuff.

(I figure this URL is ok because it is harmless and exemplary.... mods may disagree)
