There’s an interesting discussion on “Web Site Woes: Why Can’t I Just Kill It & Blog?”:
I get such dismal traffic to my Customized Newsletters website that I wake up with dreams of trashing it altogether. Why can’t I just put it all on a blog? Blogging is something I know how to do and building traffic isn’t such a problem with a blog.
Creating a site? Create a blog too
Whenever I create a new site, whether for myself or a client, I always create a blog at the same time.
For example, here’s a new yoga site I created, Easy Fab Yoga.
I also created a companion blog, Easy Fab Yoga Blog, at the same time.
I know the blog will be updated reasonably frequently, and I can update the main site when I get around to it.
A blog’s dynamic, and it gets indexed fast. However, valuable onscreen real estate can get lost in a blog – that’s why it’s handy to also have a site as well.
Occasionally I’ve created a blog, and then realized that I needed a site too, so I went ahead and created one.
There’s no need to think either/ or when it comes to sites and blogs: you can have both. They’re much more powerful together – the blog brings traffic, and your site can help you to convert your traffic.
