Unfortunately, many businesses continue to create them without any idea what the objectives of the blog truly are. Without knowing what the objectives are, most corporate blogs become a collection of posts about their latest product, their latest news, and other stuff that most people have no interest in (such as their 15% off father's day sale). There's no reason to put this information into a blog format when there are plenty of other places on a "regular" website where this information could (and should) reside. Just a thought...

To me the biggest downfall is the resources that a company must invest. To keep a blog alive with fresh content and maintained posts takes time.

I really appreciated reading them right now. Just started a company a couple of months ago and chose to start off with a blog, two in fact, instead of a traditional brochure style website. I've had some surprised reactions from other businesses. "Oh but your website is only a blog" type reaction But I really like all of the feedback from readers that the blog gives me. I'm sure the blog actually gives me more market research information than a traditional website would have. This is critical for a company just starting out. And, guess what? The market feedback has lead me to readjust my target audiences. There is a lot to say for business blogging. The brochure website will probably come later - right now learning WordPress was my priority. One thing at a time. Great points Wayne!

You've hit the top 10 points, dead on. Actually a lot of my clients don't even own a blog, because they find it to be a complete waste of time (I do both blogging and regular websites consulting). I immediately explain to them what marvelous tools blogs can be and advise them to at least give it a chance. Most e-mail me back and tell me that setting up a blog, was the best advice they got for their online business. Brilliant post Wayne! You’ve hit the top 10 points, dead on.
