As I said in my last blog, I'm new here to AR.  Reading over some other posts, and comments left on my last blog, I find there is a lot of disinformation on why people are going crazy for blogs in respect to SEO.  I've been in the SEO game since late 2001.  I'm involved in a lot of online SEO com...
