Blog vs. Website - Whats the Difference?
If someone gave you $3,000 to buy a billboard, and you could place it anywhere you wanted to, where would you put it? On a busy freeway? Out in a cornfield, off a dirt road, in Tim Buck Too? The freeway, of course!
We have said before, having a website is like putting up a billboard in a cornfield off a dirt road.
Having a blog is like putting up your billboard on a busy freeway, viewable to hundreds of people in a day!
WHY?
2 reasons. Blogs are written in a simple HTML code. The search engines can easily scan and index your words from the blog. Websites are written in more complicated java codes, they usually use lots graphics, and sometimes flash - all of which IS NOT search engine friendly - but it looks real nice! Search engines get to website and usually get confused, hit road blocks and will shut down, before reading all of your information. Therefore the blog is much, much more search engine friendly.
Blogs are dynamic - blogs are usually updated all the time. Search engines LOVE fresh content. Plus, they can be interactive. A Website is static and not updated very often. The website is where you actually describe your products and/or services. You can update a website as often as you like, but this is usually only done if your products change, you have a Sale, or something of that nature.
It’s easy to start a blog. But it is also important to know how to optimize it. Great content needs to be seen – not just published. Anyone can publish content on a blog – we work with clients on not only getting started on the right foot, but helping to optimize their search results on Google, Yahoo, MSN and other searches. We will help you avoid all the common mistakes everyone makes. We’ve already been there and done that! We know what works and what doesn’t. Let us put our Internet experience to work for you!
Business blogging is on the rise for both Fortune 500 companies and the small business / entrepreneur. IT'S HUGE! And everyday, more and more people are discovering the power that blogs offer a company and/or product. Blogs offer new ways for you to market your products and ideas and PULL you a wider audience!

I just finished my freshman year and I want to remember it on a type of online yearbook. I want multiple people to post pictures/quotes/stories/memories.

How do you promote your blog/website effectively so it doesn't get lost in the internet wilderness?
I have read a lot of tips online that include commenting on other blogs, and leaving a link. Is this standard?

Unfortunately today in the blogosphere most of us online publishers remove links to sites in comments becausde of the sheer plethora of really phony chime-ins via comments that are simply looking for a back link, so not really a worthwhile practice anymore but many other things you can be doing.
Best,
Derrick
