They constantly give the search engines new text to index, and they like that. I have a blog on my site partly for that reason (it works well), but also because a) it's great to be able to show your personality to potential clients (wouldn't we all rather do business with a real person we feel we know already?), b) you can use it to parade different writing styles depending on your mood for that blog post, c) it's a reason for people to keep coming back to your site, and d) the more you write, the better you get.

I quit my job and found blogging my best consolation. To be entirely honest, I started blogging to earn bucks but as time went by it had dawned on me that I can get more than a wad of money here. It proves to be useful for shy guys like me to write a blog and make friends from any of 4 corners of the globe. I know making friends in the web is different from that in offline world but basically they're offering the same stuffs; i.e. sharing and benefiting each other.
