Today I wanted to take some time out to explain what makes a blog style website different from the traditional static type of websites. I want to help you understand why there is a lot of really good and really easy money to be had with blogging and its so easy to achieve it mind blowing.

In the days of old, traditional websites where the hot thing, today its blogs. Why? Well, quiet frankly its because technology is moving at such an incredible rate of speed new ways of doing things are being developed all the time, and blogs were just the next step in the internet web technologies.

However specifically it is because a traditional website is something static. It sits on the screen, it presents some sort of information or sells it sells a product, and it ultimately requires some sort of third party application to provide interaction. For example bulletin board software or chat software are usually additional applications to enhance static websites.

These old style websites have become boring because they are limited to content that gets stale and also limited by a finite number of pages. What I mean is they are set up in a when that you go to them, get content from them, and then leave to get content from other websites. The content isn't fresh and constantly changing.

Blogs however are different. They are made with visitor interaction specifically in mind so you can maximise your social standings with your website. They are also intended to be updated frequently with fresh content, that rather then replacing old conent, coexists with it to make an even more content rich site. Blog readers expect blogs to have daily or weekly articles postings.

Blogs also give your website visitors, often referred to as readers, the ability to leave comments to you and others who visit your site about their thoughts regaurding your article posts.

They also get to use a blogs most useful feature, the rss feed, to keep updated about the blog via email or other rss reader application. This is usually referred to a blogs subscriber base. Unlike with websites of old where search engine rankings were the number one focus, with blogs that focus has drastically changed to reader count. People care more about how many readers subscribe to their blogs then they do about how much traffic comes to their blog. This is what makes a blogs traffic so very targetted. Because the readers of a blog are so interested in the bloggers topic choice that they have subscribed to keep up to date. Its almost like the mailing lists of old.

The last thing about blog that make them really special is the rss feed. Rss feeds embore blogs with the ability to notify search engines, directories, and similar services of new content and updated content. This means with a blog you don't have to wait until the next time google decides to visit your website to tell it you have a new article posted, your blog does this automatically by using an rss ping to tell google for itself.

It may sound a little techie for you, but the fact remains just by owning a blog you will eventaully get indexed by sites like google, this is NOT true with standard static pages of old.
