Video: Business Blogs vs. Normal Websites

by Michael Martine on October 16, 2007 · 5 comments

What are the differences between a so-called “normal” website and a business blog? Are there real advantages to a business blog that a normal website can’t give you? The video covers the following:

  • Characteristics of static websites and blogs
  • Blogs, search engine optimization, and people finding you
  • Blogging is about the conversation, normal websites are about one-way marketing

Hope you enjoy the video! Any other important differences between normal websites and blogs? Think I’m full of crap? Comment below!

Great explanation, Michael. It’s amazing how many businesses have no clue how this works. We’ve got our work cut out for us!

I am still learning about all this since I am new to both static websites and blogs – but this seems to make sense. I will give it a try and see how it works.
Thanks
