well, that depends on what we're talking about here. blog? application? etc..

I'm talking about my blog. I have one blog + sign up process for my paying customers. I don't have the server capacity to go free. I sell software btw. I'm trying to give my customers something extra by offering web login, license control, bookmarking, whois, search, etc. It is probably way to boring though.

The blog thing is great. It has tripled my traffic and 25 percent of incoming users are now from search engines.

blogs will definitely do that.

there are tons of great resources for blogging that will give you ideas on how to get participation on your posts.

i'd suggest checking out problogger or something similar for ideas.
