The query put to online business people is Which is Better For Traffic, a Static Website Or a Blog? All online marketers want traffic. If you had a storefront business you would want people coming in and out seeing what you were selling. The same with your online business. A blog is a blog and a website is a website, two different animals. 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 also use blogs to promote their online business. Some think it is a better way to get traffic to their online business. If you have an online business like a tropical fish aquarium business you can use a blog to increase sales. You can write articles on filters, new fish food, or aquarium decorations. 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. Websites are where people buy. So you want to get them there eventually. Blogs are where people do not feel pressured to buy, but you want to use them to ease people over to your website where they can buy if they want to. If on your blog you have given them content they cannot get anywhere else you are building credibility and loyalty. Personally I like blogs because I do not feel pressured to buy something. But if I like what the blogger is writing and he or she is offering me good information I will visit their website and I might buy from them. And if someone uses one to support the other I see this as a good marketing technique and impressed with their business aptitude. Others however want to go to a website to see what is for sale. If the website looks good and they find good products for good prices they might buy from there as well. Which is Better For Traffic, a Static Website Or a Blog? The best is to use both way to build traffic to your online business. Use your blog to support your website where you will be doing your selling.
