I think that way we just do not all of time, when we think our blog is enough popular we just take action to maintain that, because its not really hard to get new backlink if we have popular blog, other people will do that.

There is too much remixing of content of others. It is hard work to create new content several times a week. In the end the cost for blogging for a company will be probably the same as paying for advertising. There are no miracles. A blog can be used for two purposes:
