Start a blog.  A blog is a website with multiple postings in a chronological date order.  \n\nFor example, if your website is designed to sell golf clubs, start a blog about golf.  Write a post about an upcoming golf tournament.  Wrie a second post about your last golf vacation.  Write a post about a course you played recently.\n\nEach post is seen as a separate page by a search engine.  Search engines love content, especially content that is updated frequently.  You will get massive search engine traffic to your blog.\n\nWhen people go to your blog, they will see mentions of your main golf sales site and many of them will go to your main site after reading your blog posts.\n\nA good resource for traffic generation is Alice Seba's blog.  She is using the blog to generate traffic to her websites.  Go to it and sign up for the course, "Truth About Traffic".  At the very least, study it so you can see how she uses a blog to increase traffic to her websites.

Blogger Definition\nThe word blog is a shorten version of weblog. In general, a blog is a website that provides a list of journal-like articles. Each new article is added on top, and the older articles are pushed down. These articles can be on anything from personal diaries, political commentary, and technical guides. The articles are called posts and some consist of mostly links to articles on news sites along with excerpts and commentary. Also, pictures mixed in with the articles are common. \nBlogs make it easy for the blogger to make updates. Posts can be done from the web. \n\nIn addition to diaries, journals, and news commentary, blogs often become a sort of "virtual front porches" where people can "shoot the breeze" with others. Many blogs provide a comment feature below each post where visitors can provide feedback. This can make a blog become a sort of message board with the blogger creating the topics for discussion. \n\nAnother thing that makes blogs like a "virtual front porch" is the design customization feature of blogs. The blogger often puts a lot of design work into his or her blog. It becomes almost a virtual home. It's like home owners who beautify their yards and houses. Many bloggers spend a lot of time on their blog templates that define the overall appearance of the blog. These templates are also called blog skins. Bloggers often ad many blog add-ons like blogrolls links, ,message tagboards, guestbooks, guestmaps, and many more.

Blog is short for "weblog." (Wikipedia will give you good up-to-date info on this subject.) A blog is an online journal - xanga.com, for example, has domain space for several users to post their "blogs." In a blog, people post things about themselves, their lives, or their philosophies for anyone surfing the net to see. Be careful when blogging, however, because anyone Googling your name can come up with compromising info about you, such as that you hate your boss, or, worse, that you hate dry peanuts! (Imagine being force-fed dry peanuts, if that information fell into the wrong hands!)

A blog is similar to that of a personal diary, except it can be more open and people (friends, family, collegues) can read it online.\n\nThey are also used as alternatives to news websites, where engadget.com would be a good example - using a blog to deliver content to a large audience. This is because they are easy to maintain and update.\n\nSome blog services extend furthermore offering you the chance to upload photos into your own galleries to share with whoever you choose.\n\nI've used many blogging services over time, and if you're looking for a quick way of starting a good looking but easy to maintain blog; I recommend Opera Community\n\nhttp://my.opera.com/community/signup
