Free Targeted Website Traffic

A blog is a website where entries are made in journal style and displayed in a reverse chronological order.

Blogs often provide commentary or news on a particular subject, such as food, politics, or local news; some function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, web pages, and other media related to its topic. Most blogs are primarily textual although some focus on photographs (photoblog), videos (vlog), or audio (podcasting), and are part of a wider network of social media.

The term "blog" is a contraction of "Web log." "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Is this copied from wikipedia?

What does a Google Bomb and YouTube have to do with blogging? Although everything else sounded pretty good.

Well, UTube really isn't a blog per se it is mostly video clips. Blogging is, as was said earlier, a type of journal.

The video clips are usually, a current event that is happening, i.e. a birthday party but mostly the UTube shows humourus material or entertainment material in video format.

I hope this helps.

I still don't see why it was included in "What is a blog?"

I was wondering about the youtube reference too. I guess it was included because some people use it to do video blogs.
