This has not started happening in Pakistan yet. An overwhelming majority of local consumers who do not (or cannot) use the internet and even marketing professionals still ask puzzled as to what a blog is. A business blog is a published by or with the support of an organisation to reach out and achieve organisational goals — customer relationships, media relations, internal collaboration, knowledge management, recruitment, test ideas or products and rank high in search engines. In external communications, the potential benefits include strengthened relationships with important target groups and the positioning of the publishing organisation as industry experts.
