Patrick Schwerdtfeger discusses blogs and why they are so heavily favored by the search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing.  Blogs are great for SEO because of the way the information is structured.  Meanwhile, search engines look for certain things and blogs score high on all three.  They are the quantity of unique relevant content, the newness or freshness of that information and the link structure surrounding the website or blog.

This video is about SEO and why blogs rank so high on search engines.  Google looks for a robust link structure around a website, new fresh information and lots of it.  Blogs are perfect on all three counts.  They tend to link to each other a lot.  They always have new information and all that information accumulates into a huge amount of total information.
