In Your Mind Which Is Better For Traffic, A Static Website Or A Blog?

The question for serious online marketers is which is better for traffic, a static website or a blog? Traffic is what you want for your online business. Just as if you had a brick and mortar business you would want customers coming in and shopping you want people coming to your online business and looking around. Now a blog is not a website and a website is not a blog.

Remember receiving newsletters from friends and family around the holidays by snail mail? Well, most people use blogs for that now. Blog is short for web log. Logging your life on the internet for all to read you might say. Think of a blog as a personal online newsletter.

People now write about what is going on in their lives and people can visit their blog online and read about are going on in their lives. But also people can promote their websites with their blogs. Let us say you have an online business promoting and selling fish aquariums and accessories.

Create a blog, which is very simple, there are many free blog creating softwares on the internet, with articles on fish aquariums and accessories. You then send out emails to your subscribers to let them know you have a new article on your blog. Then in your article have a link to your website where you actually sell products related to tropical fish.

Write articles on your blog related to the products you sell on your website. You this together in order to build traffic. Do not get caught up on which is better a blog or website. Use them together. The experienced online marketers know the power of giving people what they want. Give the blog to those who favor blogs. Give the website to those who like websites.

Some of course like websites over blogs. Websites have more of an internet history. People are more used to seeing a website than a blog. Some see a blog as a personal journal and do not equate that with buying products. But use them together and you will sell products.

I rather go to a website than a blog. I think a website is more what I am used to finding on the internet. I rather read what I can buy and information on various products. When I see a blog I think I am reading what the blogger wants me to read.

But others like to spend time reading online opinions and thoughts. And if your blog convinces people they need to visit your website and buy from you then your blog has done its job. So Which is Better For Traffic, a Static Website Or a Blog? The answer is both working together. So build your website and get a blog to support it. Give eveyone what they want and then sell them some great products.
