Which Is Best, A Blog Or Regular Website For Adsense Site?

[spearsy]

Ive been using wordpress for a while and its so simple and extreamly quick to set up, you could also use blogger and link the two together

[Digitalcashprofits]

Use WordPress.com because blogs get indexed faster and
carry more weight with Google, Aol, Yahoo.

Search engines are looking for Great Content, Not Sales
letters for the most part. THEY WANT CONTENT

Learn the art of blogging and you will reep the rewards.

[Steve Crooks]

It has to be a wordpress blog for me simply because of all the amazing plugins and love there appears to be from google for wordpress.

[Gelo30]

if you want it to make it special use wordpress, if you want to be simply use blogger. When it comes to revenue I think it would depend on how you optimize your site content.

Guys, are these true?

I prefer blog for wordpress with own hosting. It's easy to create and install all the plug-ins and very easy on SEO too. Once you setup your blog sign up for adsense and then start creating ads from there and paste it on your blog to start earning thru adsense. Good Luck!

Blog is much easier to update as well as it is much easier to create as well .It doesnt require loads of ideas coz their are loads of free stuff which you can use as widget

Wordpress blogs with clickbump's template is working nicely. Now he has released version 2 with additional options. I get very good CTR with his template.

Wish that be helpful

A blog is easier and quicker in some cases, but if you really do have a log of information, you need to think about organizing. A blog, even using categories and tags is not as easy to organize properly as you can with a a traditional site. Traditional sites can be static or a cms like joomla.

On the few sites I do have a blog, it's Blogger FTP'd to my own domain. No performance hit of a db, no security issues of wordpress, but I get easy content management, comments, etc.

Really? A sample size of one?

[valiantbearded]

I suggest you use blogger.com. It is easier for plotform thickens and search sites on the fly. Whenever I have a higher click throguh blogger blogs. I use the default template in this blog.

[renhoek]

i Had used WP but have switched to static sites. the main reasons are:
- faster setup
- easier to move if I sell it
- no botched plugin installations

[jacksonlin]

I don't think the type of site matters for an adsense site, but rather the MARKET you are building a site in.

I have a static XSP site in adsense making 20 to 40 a day.

I just put adsense on it because my previous offer was pulled! It turns out that I was in a high paying market so it's not too bad!

I used to develop my web sites with combination of PhotoShop, DreamWeaver, MySQL, Eclipse and a hired HTML slicer, but that is way too complicated for SEO and affiliate marketing. You really loose a ton of time on development, when you should concentrate on links and fresh content.

I would recommend a combination of WordPress and Artisteer. Artisteer lets you make blog templates in under 10-15 minutes. You can make so many eye candy variations, so quickly, that you have to hold yourself from getting carried away, with design side of things. Small downside is that you still need to understand some basic HTML in order to plug in Google AdSense. A good site to pick up HTML knowledge is W3schools.

[seoforu]

You can create anyone of them it would not matter much.Creating a blog would make it cache and ranked soon while creating a website would take some time.In the long run, you would have complete control over your website while you cannot do so in your blog..so the choice is yours?As far as adsense is concerned it would work fine on both.

[info02web]

An article with good and unique content can bring traffic directly to u

Of course a blog is also a good option

[Peter Lee]

I have static html sites as well as wordpress blogs. I find that with static sites they look nicer and more professional looking. Wordpress blogs however are so easy to maintain they can literally run on auto-pilot. This may sound good but they make me lazy at times because I tend to leave them as is when I should be doing more. My static sites on the other hand - the pages are well seo'd and optimised so they tend to rank better.

However, Word press does have tons of advantages as far as building and maintaining a website is concerned and the search engines, especially Google love them so you will get indexed faster.

I tried word press several years ago but did not fully understood it's awsome versatility so I continued using Dreamweaver, XsitePro, FrontPage and other site building tools. It was a nightmare trying to keep these sites up-to-date. About 2 years ago I gave Wordpress another go and only then did I realize how easy it was to master it, and how much power you can "plugin" into its core

I've also tried dozens of Content Management Systems/automated builders but abandoned them all because I did not have time to learn how to use them or maintain them.

If you are going to use Wordpresss I would advise using your own domain on your own server, then you can use blogs on blogger.com and wordpress.com to get backlinks to your own hosted wordpress site.

Truly, If you want to spend less time maintaining your site and more time earning money from it a Wordpress installation will give you that advantage everytime without doubt


want to master word press?

hi i am currently using blogger so should i swtich my blog to my own hosted domain or not

[maddydp]

Blog is easier and you can do it own your own without any coding experience. Wordpress i tried and tested for a long long time, only you can mess it up. Its childs play actually. But a HTML website could be a headache and obviously it will consume more of your time than the mighty and simple Wordpress.

[dagaul101]

Personally I would prefer a blog as that would be easier to update

[gittar1122]

If you compare the investment on blog and website then I will go with blog because of low investment and easy management.

[jhonsean]

I prefer blog for adsense site, my way is that i can create multi blogging to expand my adsense then make money.

[mebeljohn]

I would rather own a Wordpress blog hosting. Its easy to create and install all plug-in and very easy to SEO too.

[samual james]

According to me wordpress blog would be better option for you , wordpress blogs are easy to install and you can easily manage your blog by all in one SEO tool

[tusharm]

Wordpress for sure. Its very easy to setup and give you more flexibility.

[Dan B Rusu]

Why use anything else when wordpress is so easy to use?

[princeambrose12]

I prefer the Wordpress blogs because they are much easier to link to websites. For beginners probably Wordpress, but as you become more experienced and comfortable online, you can try a common website. It's all preference.

[exaltedadam22]

Blog is a good starting point and then if you start making a profit so real that you can create a site and try to make serious money.

[ssbytes]

Definitely try a WordPress blog. These are excellent starters for beginners and seasoned bloggers as well.

[GeorgR.]

Still anyone believes there is a "difference" between a blog and a website?

Its really only in the eyes of the beholder, but a BLOG (that's how see it) is is usually a site with "web2.0 features" like RSS feeds pings etc. while a static site like a sales page/squeeze page doesnt have those features.

As for "blog" like in "blogging"...this does NOT mean that a wordpress site must be a "blog" with your personally blahblah on it. Its entirely optional. A wordpress site can very well be a sales page or squeeze page, and does not need to have dynamic changing content, and it does not need to contain personal "blogging style" blah blah.

So i really never make a difference between a "blog" and a "website", i simply use Wordpress for everything.

Why? Because of the above reasons, and the features like rss feeds, auto pings/trackbacks, free plugins for ANYTHING you could even need...makes it rank way better in the search engines and integrate better into "web2.0" (whatever that is)
