What is a Blog?
A blog is a contraction of the term weblog. It has entered the mainstream of our vocabulary as many people today blog. The term blog is used as a noun for the blog itself and as a verb to describe the act of making an entry to a blog. Quite simply, a blog is used for many things. It is a compilation of entries by the user about certain subjects and listed in reverse chronological order. Each entry is time stamped and dated to when the entry was made. A blog will typically have a sidebar that contains a system that archives all entries for easy retrieval.
Blog entries are usually textual in nature however, most blogs allow each entry to have either pictures or sounds associated with each entry. A blog will most often contain links to pertinent information outside of the blog entry to redirect the user to a different site. All this information is capture within the blog interface. Blogs are usually either generated with templates such as Wordpress or Blogger. You can choose to use a standard template, or a custom design blog with a designed theme. Then there are the blogs that are completely custom made by the user.
Purpose of a Blog
Today, there are millions of blogs out there that pertain to subjects as a personal diary of your days activities, a corporate blog, a political blog etc… There are many types of blogs out there for any purpose. One of the main purposes of a blog is to facilitate communication from the owner or user of the blog with the reader. The reader will read the blog and provide feedback on the entry. Subject matter of each blog is too numerous to mention but typically blogs will fall into two main categories: personal and corporate.
Personal blogs will vary the most compared to corporate one. Personal blogs can vary by the writer to describe all kinds of subjects from their life, hobbies, pets, entertainment, personal characteristics, friends etc… You name it, there is probably a blog for it. Blogs provide an enormous amount of information. This information can be very beneficial to the end user and provide users with the opportunity to give and received feedback.
Corporate blogs provide information about the nature of their business. Businesses will use blogs to provide feedback and information about their business. For instance a photography company may show images of their latest photography session and the blog can welcome feedback on the images. Corporate blogs can also provide information about their products and services and clients and customers can ask the owner of the blog questions regarding the products.
With a blog that has many entries with many topics and links, the blog in essence provides traffic to and from websites. Therefore a blog is a search engine optimization tool to increase traffic to your static website.
SEO Benefit of Blogging
A weblog is a means of quickly adding content to a website, by using an administration panel to restrict user access. When the webmaster logs into a blog they are able to type as quickly as using any word processing program on a desktop, it is really that easy. One of the main benefits from having a blog is that of increasing your organic search engine rankings. This increase in your search ranking is primarily a result of having a lot of fresh new content that is routinely being added to your website.

Blog vs. Website, or Both?
A blog is not a website in the sense that we know it. Yes, a blog resides at a certain website but there is a fundamental difference between a blog and a website. The biggest difference is that a blog is dynamic vs. static. A typical website may not change over time however a blog changes constantly. Owners will make entries on a regular basis and users will continuously provide feedback. Blogs are much easier to build than a website. Websites generally require more skill and knowledge of website design. A blog can be started by anyone at anytime with no skill involved. These blogs are very generic and not very appealing. Custom blogs are more appealing and user friendly. The one thing that sets blogs apart is the content. Content is key in having a successful blog. Blog entries take time and sometimes blogs can languish from time to time.
If you are serious about the internet, we suggest both a weblog and a website
The weblog, or blog, is a great addition to your standard website as content can be created very quickly and on the fly. A blog is also a great resource to put important corporate information that may not easily fit into another defined section of your corporate website. The blog can be used for quick updates, simple notes, or customer communication about products. And remember that the blog will also assist with the natural SEO for your website.
