I truly think it depends on what you want to do in your career. For certain types of organizations, 'exposure' will help out more than others.
In all honesty, I don't write blogs for my personal job searching, however:
When I evaluate candidates (by the time I see them, they are already though the recruiter and HR), I do checkout a person's website (if they have one) to see what else they work on.
I can tell you that having a blog helps for sure, especially if the blog topics have a connection to technology stack used in the job the candidate is interviewing for.
It can also show your perspective on mentoring and teaching.
But if someone is cramming out 100 articles per year, no interviewer will go though their entire history. So everything has its limits.
I do write blogs articles, but for other reasons (to learn, help, mentor, have fun).
