If you are confused by the benefits of a blogsite over a website you are not alone. Many people ask me “Sandra, why would I want a blogsite when I already have a website?” Others ask “Sandra, I hear that blogging is a great way to get my name out there but how do I start and should I have a website too?”  These are all good questions but let’s start with the basics.

What is a blogsite?
A blogsite is a blog with all the features of a website and much, much more. On the website side, you’ll have a static menu bar linking to your web pages (e.g. About Us, Contact Us). On the blog side, you’ll be able to publish posts, articles, promotions and tips without a degree in Computer Science. With a blogsite you’ve got the features of a website and the functionality of a blog all in one.

If you use a blogsite you won’t need a separate website or a separate blog. A blogsite is an “all in one” business tool!

So what is a blogsite really? Why should you care?

What difference would it make to your business if you knew what it was?

Would it attract money? clients? speaking gigs? magazine columns? the clients of your dreams?

Would it make you the go to person in your market?

Would it give you the ability to make changes to your site when you want to without knowing any geekese?

Would it attract Google?

Would it allow clients to find you instead of you seeking them?

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.
