Blogging for your business includes a plethora of moving parts. At the basic level, decisions are made on the length of posts, the frequency of publishing, and how the posts will be promoted.
Depending on your industry and the goals you are trying to achieve, strategies and tactics can vary dramatically. However, it's nice to gauge the tendencies of other bloggers to keep a pulse on any trends.
