Which To Use/A Website or A Blog Platform
Jul 3rd, 2007 Posted in Online Marketing | no comment »I have just started a blog about beauty and my experiences in beauty school. I would love for you to stop by and give some input. I have decided I like blogging and I am learning more about this form of marketing, I realize that in order to actually come out on top you really do need to be an expert about your subject matter.
I do not claim to be an expert in marketing, but I like sharing the experiences I have had in order to have and sustain the 6 websites that I keep going. There is so much to learn and keep abreast of. I will never give up trying to learn all that I can.
From a business standpoint, blogs are uniquely positioned to make you money. Search engines love blogs and they seem to get better results than a regular website because of the structure used and the ease of use makes them a wonderful moneymaking tool. Regardless of the platform you choose for blogging, you will be able to produce a content-based site featuring a series of potentially well-targeted pages.
Search engines love content.Textual content keeps search engine spiders coming back for more and a lot quicker than my regular sites as my stats indicate. Google, Yahoo and MSN reward informative sites with lots of content with a better positioning in search results and seem to index these sites quickly. I am trying to learn to use my blog effectively because I want to receive a higher search engine ranking. That seems to be the only way to get higher traffic levels and we all know the more traffic you receive the more chance you have to make a profit.
I always tried to keep my sites updated, but it was a real hassle. You have to write the content (or pay to have it written), convert it to HTML, insert it into the static page and then upload the page to the server again lately I have been working on learning the blog world. Seems to me that blogs have an advantage over traditional websites. So if your trying to decide between a traditional website or the use of a blog. I would suggest a blog. They require less effort and chances are you will have much better results with traffic and being able to make a profit.
