Blogging and SEO are inseparable. The blog is perhaps the defining website content, and blogs cover every imaginable subject on Earth.

I subscribe to a few magazines. Any magazine that is totally devoted to the Internet is hard to find. When I find one, I subscribe. The internet to me is almost a blur of information. I process it quickly, absorb enough and move on.

Tools like Sezwho would put a stop to the addicted blog commenter who really has nothing to say. I admit. I have left comments that say nothing before, but have gradually learned that they are of no value to the blog I commented on or to my own blog.
