Page or Post for Adsense Site? Which one is better?

It doesn't matter for SEO directly.

But...

Posts allow you to better categorize your content. If your site will be about balls, then you'll want to have a categories for the various types of balls such as baseball, basketballs, cricket, soccer, footballs, etc. Then your posts would placed in the relevant categories along with a nice permalink structure like /%category%/%postname%/.

Posts also allow you to use Tags whereas Pages do not. Tags can be very effective for gaining extra traffic when used correctly.

If it's just a two page site, then you pages are fine.

If you change your mind or expand in future, there's a plugin that can convert your Pages to Posts and vice-versa.

It depends....

How are you structuring your site? How do you plan to do your SEO? How many phrases are you targeting on the one site?

As an example..

If I was creating a site to target one primary phrase I'd probably do the entire thing as posts, with a sticky post as my lead article.

If I was creating a site to target 10 phrases, I'd create unique pages for each of my targeted phrases and then have blog posts for additional content.

This is where your SEO comes into play. If you are targeting one phrase you are going to focus all of your SEO work towards the domain name/home page. If you are targeting 10 phrases you will be doing SEO/Backlinks towards are 10 pages individually along with the overall domain/home page.

It is important to keep in mind those target "pages" could just as easily be "posts", but you would want to SEO those individual POST pages and not just the front page of your site.

The advantage to pages in some themes, or with some permalink structures, is the cleaner URL and static nature of the page for your sustained SEO/Backlink efforts.

So..which one is better? The one you will actually implement and follow up with.

P.S. Of course you could then throw in the idea of creating authority sites based upon a silo design where your category pages.....oh never mind...

If this is your first site, you need to keep it simple. Keep your articles as posts. Once you've got some more experience you can always fiddle around with this on future sites.

For now, stop sweating the small stuff and get to building your site.

Thanks for the great advice everyone! This forum really is awesome.

For now the site is going to be relatively small. I already run another authority website, in which I plan on selling a product. This is just my first step into specifically adsense, or possibly some amazon affiliate.

I think i'll just stick with posts for the time being.
