In essence, this means that every time you create a blog post, you are creating webpage. The more pages in turn creates more pages listed in the search engine and in turn creates more traffic to your website, which leads to more visitors and customers.

When a visitor clicks on a tag within the cloud, they are brought to an archival page of related post excerpts rather than having to wade through months of post archives to find what they’re looking for.
