What can a Blogsite do that a website can’t?

Posted on 15 May 2008

This is a question I get all the time. Here’s just part of the long answer.

A website (a traditional site created with html) becomes a pain to maintain. You either need to know html, have expensive software to update it or have your web person update it when they have time.

A blogsite is easy to maintain and you can update from any computer in the world (yes macs and PCs) with internet access.

Google and other search engines are giving priorities to blogs over regular sites for many reasons. Two main reasons are that blogs are updated with fresh content more frequently than regular sites and blogs are structured in a way that makes it easier for Google to find, index and add them to their list of results.

With blogsites you can:

* create static pages such as “our services”, “our products”, “contact us” etc.
* maintain your own website
* blog by posting articles, tips, promotions, etc.
* interact with web visitors and start building a relationship with them
* promote your newsletter, services, affiliate programs
* get Google to fall in love with you and your site as it’s built with search engine optimization in mind
* take advantage of web 2.0 functionality
* add media to your site easily
