Google, Yahoo!, Bing, and other search engines have a massive impact on a blog. Search engines can easily refer the largest amount of traffic to your site and, if dealt with properly, can help you grow a large audience in time.

By taking the time to make sure that you're following SEO best practices from the get-go, you can reap the rewards of a consistent flow of search engine traffic.
