Blog or Website?

I thought I would do this post because I didn't know the answer when I started making money online. I started by making a free "sub-domain" website at weebly.com. I submitted it to Google, Yahoo, Msn, Ask,etc. After getting sixty pageviews for two days in a row, my daily pageviews dropped to about ten. So I researched how to make a blog and I came across blogger.com.

As a matter of fact, this post is written using blogger.

Anyway, as for the question of whether a blog or a website is better, there is no correct answer. Many people say that having your own domain name and website is better because it gives you more freedom. This may actually be true because you can even put a blog on your website. The only good thing about a blog is that it is more interactive and a lot easier to update and have control of.

I have had more success with my blog than any of my websites put together.

Here is my actual report from adsense after my first day of starting my blog:

Page impressions Clicks Page CTR Page eCPM [?] Earnings
AdSense for Content top channels 315 25 7.94% $34.94 $11.01

I know this doesn't seem like alot, but $11 on your first day was pretty good considering I was almost a complete beginner.

So, basically, if you're just beginning your online entrepreneur experience, I would start with a blog. You can sign up for free at blogger.com. Blogger is great because it is actually run by google, so, it's easy to get approved for adsense.
