When people will search for you online, you'd rather have them land on your blog, no? This is a great opportunity to market yourself. You don't have to blog to build an audience..

Another tip for accomplishing the same thing: being active on mailing lists and having a .signature with a link to your site. Open source projects are a great way to build up google points.
