Difference Between a Website and a Blog
Websites | Blogs |
- Static – For the most part websites stay the same.
| - Current – Updated several times a week if not more often.
|
- Must have a bit of technical knowledge in coding or a Webmaster at the bare minimum.
| - No coding knowledge necessary. There are many choices of Blog Software out there to choose from that eliminates the need for coding knowledge.
|
- All your concentration does not go into the content, but part is spent worrying about the coding and html.
| - Because you don’t need to know coding to run a Blog your entire focus can be on the content.
|
- Website pages are broken up by Static Pages and Categories…. Products, prices, articles, pictures, etc…
| - Blogs are written more like a journal that is broken up by dates. Usually the most recent entry is on top.
|
- When a Website is updated there is usually no feature that automatically notifies your readers of the update. Yes, you can put together a Newsletter, but that is generally something that is manually put together
| - Blogs are usually setup with a RSS feed for viewers to subscribe to. This RSS feed will notify your readers when you have updated your Blog with a new post. This will keep your viewers coming back for more.
|
- Waiting period for Search Engine Spiders to spider your website.
| - Blogs can be easily setup to ping Blog Directories and search engines when you add a new post or update your Blog. This is one of the best features of a blog….This means your posts will appear in Search Engines very, very quickly. Usually within minutes.
|
- Static Websites do not track conversations between Webmasters and Readers.
| - Many ways to notice communication between bloggers and readers.
- Comments – Readers can post their comments and Blogger and other Readers can respond.
- Trackbacks – When another blogger mentions a particular post and adds a link to that post a brief excerpt will appear in your post’s comment section to let you and your readers know that they could follow another blogger’s view point of your post.
- PermaLink – When another blogger or website links to a specific post they will use the post’s specific page link…. This page link is called a PermaLink. This is a great way for link building on your internal pages of your blog.
