Hi,

I post a new article to my site every day. Is my site technically a blog? How should I market it?

Thanks

Hi there

Does look a bit a blog, as for marketing just because its a blog, it makes no difference as to how you market it, I would concentrate on making ur site better, as the presentation isnt very good !

Woc

how about categorizing your site so people would not mistake it as a blog?

I don't think people bother its a blog or website if they get the information which they need

"blogs" are websites as well

Blogs are mini websites..It usually serves as a training ground for new SEOs.

WEll.. in my opinion, no need to bother about this thing. as chrishirst says...

"blogs" are websites as well.

I agree on this!

Blogs are the same as any other website they just use a different cms. Some blogs are very big and some websites are small. A blog is an online log of articles sorted by date.

It doesn't look like the classic blog to me, with the entries listed on the front page so that you can get into reading right away. It's more websitey, if that's a word, because the content is more contained and you have to click in order to find reading material.

But yeah, blogs are sites just as well, just more formatted as a (personal) web log.

Blogs are a type of website, and yours doesn't look like a blog from first look. You may want to put latest updated article on front page to make it more blog like

A blog is a website but a website isn't necessarily a blog. With that said, it doesn't matter!

I agree with sainshea. As long as their is the right and interesting information... it is not that important whether it is a blog or a website.

Yeah, just curious, why do you want it look like or qualify as a blog?

What's important is that you have it set up the way you want it and you are getting the traffic you hope for. Whether or not it's a blog could be irrelevant, you'll just have to find that out through experimentation.

until your content is good and not offensive (which its not),
there is no problem is it a blog or other website, try to improve the content

Yeah, what's the difference? It is someone's subjective opinion and in fact it doesn't matter. If you want to treat it as a blog, do that and if you don't, then don't do that .

Whether it is blog or not...so long it offer good useful information/content that interest people...people will come.

blog sounds better these days. only google will decide it. Whether to put your site in blog rankings or website rankings

I like your presentation. Simple is good. No need to make it look like some webdesigner built it. Google never looked like a webdesigner built it. It sometimes looks like some kids just copy-pasted some html into a c++ script and just left it at that.

"blog" is a silly category. Sites are sites. If a site happens to be a weblog of some kind (blog for short), so be it. But you don't need to market it as a blog or a site in any different way. It's an info-source.

I used to call myself an Information Engineer. Try that for size. I've been doing it ALL night and all morning so far - engineering information. He he he. I'm not sure how ethical it is to be a pet owner of a dozen animals you've never had (well, if you research properly you can IMAGINE owning them!) or whether it's plausible to join the team sites for a wide variety of harshly opposing football clubs.

Out of interest, what were you going to do differently if it's a blog, "not a site"? Surely there IS no different. A link is a link. Whether you're advertising a jpeg, an ebook, an online mall or a list of clever thoughts.

Good luck with being green. Save the world. Someone has to. If I can help you I will.

Nice avatar, mother. It's added to my collection.

A blog is just a website that uses blogging software...and usually includes features like comments, trackbacks, etc. It doesn't really matter whether your website is technically a blog or not, as long as its serving the purpose it should.

For me it's like this - all blogs are sites but not all websites are blogs. A blog by nature could contain anything - pictures, videos, text content, etc. Your site may be a blog even if you only put articles on it.
