Branding does not put money in the bank and it isn't anything anyone cares about because it doesn't help them do anything.

That said, I also think there can be other objectives to running a blog, and these can still, albeit indirectly, contribute towards your overall business success. Blogs are a great tool for branding, especially when combined with social media marketing. I agree with your basic notion there.

This reminds me of Lisa Simpson. Flanders called her "Springfield's answer to a question no one asked." As such, while she has a ton of potential, she's very unappreciated, much like those Google services. “They’re trying to solve a problem nobody has.”

And something else to add: you say to your customers that you help MTV. Said that, your customers acknowledge two things: first, that your are working for MTV (what is obvious), and second, that by working for MTV you are a professional. That changes everything. @Vancouver Web Design: very deep words. And something else to add: you say to your customers that you help MTV.
