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

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.

But what else can you do with a blog besides letting the world know about your personal life? You can promote your internet business with your blog. You might have a business online selling tropical fish aquariums and accessories. You can use a blog to bring traffic to your website where you sell tropical fish aquariums and accessories.

You can have a blog where you can have weekly or even daily information about fish aquariums, tropical fish, salt water fish, and accessories. You can build an email list of subscribers who will visit your website because you sent them an email message letting them know you have written an article on a particular tropical fish or new aquarium filter or new fish food. They will go to your blog and read the article. In your article you will have a link to your website where you will actually have products for sale.

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.

Others like websites because you have a variety of information and images to view. It does not feel like all you are doing is reading someone’s personal journal. But the question is not which works better, the question is how to give people what they want.

I like websites over blogs because I am more used to reading a website than a blog. Or should I say, I know that I have to read a blog whereas a website I can merely survey if I want to and still get a feel for the website.

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.
