Analytics is not a vehicle for communicating directly with potential customers.

But my vote is for Blogging! A successful Blog(like this one ) can virtually dictate many other factors on the list! It goes without saying the content needs to be interesting and perspicacious.If I m allowed another vote it would be to SEO..that's really important when one is launching a new web site/product. All in all the list provides enough thought to mull about the e-trends for 2008! Of course its a real tough list to choose from! But my vote is for Blogging!

To find out, woops, it's a one question survey! After voting I really agree with the top 3: blogging, email, and seo. PPC is great too. One avenue I get in to a lot with <a href="http://www.highlightsports.com" rel="nofollow">one of my sites</a> is Sponsorship and Cross Promotion: I've found that it's a lot easier to take care of a few big sponsors than hundreds of little deals that don't pan out.

Readers need to perceive benefits from your blog, they're not going to spend time on blatant sales blurb. You need a financial return on the time spent writing and publicising your blog. Aim to achieve the balance of satisfying readers desires and wants and reaching and capturing customers for your product or service to realise the full potential of your business blog.

I've come a long way with how I see blogs and blogging today from two years ago when my sister first told me to start doing it. I'm seeing a friend of mine get tremendous results in her business just by blogging and nothing else. As some of the other commenters have said, blogging and SEO seem to go hand in hand. Guess my old sis was right! :-) In fact, one of the guys I follow quite a bit, James Brausch, maintains that if you don't have a blog, you're not serious about your business. I voted for blogging.

You're right about "moving target." Email marketing and UGC are top in our plans. SEO is key, since we have a PR5 site with multiple top 10 keywords, and we want to stop marketing that domain. Once we launch our new site, SEO will take a lot of focus as we try to gain history and trust of the new site. That takes us back go blogging to escalate the process. News Releases will also be a focus upon launch. We're interested in blog advertising and relations with other bloggers (non-paid). Are there any case studies about the perception of blog advertising and if these people are being "paid" to say something nice about you?
