Did you know that non-bloggers are fast becoming the minority?
According to Hubspot’s latest study the number of companies that blog has grown from 48% in 2009 to 65% this year. And the ones that do blog have
– 55% more visitors
– 97% more inbound links
– 434% more indexed pages
compared to those that do not.
