On second thought, even such blogs can succeed if they address the quandaries faced by the current or future users of the product or service.

To me a business blog is a bit hypnotic -- it draws in the customer, creates a community, enhances the credibility of the business, and ultimately (the hyptnotic part) sells the visitor something. If implemented correctly, a business blog is incredibly useful for enhancing sales...and sometimes this occurs without the customer even knowing it. I agree with you, Chris.

They contribute to building credibility, reputation, expertise and conversation, which all go to establish relationships with your readers/prospective buyers over the long haul. Chris:
