Are Blog Will Be ur Future?
Blog or website, which one should you choose for long term affiliate profits? Unless you just crawled out from beneath a rock, you know blogs are all the rage now.
By listening so some guru’s, you’d think all you have to do is sign up for a Blogger account, slap an affiliate link or Adsene code on the blog, write an article or two per week, and hire an armored car to take your checks to the bank. Man, I wish it was half that easy!
Will Blogs Rule The Internet In The Future?
Methinks Not!
I’ll admit that blogs are pretty darn good vehicles for affiliate profits, but let’s not discount the good ole static html website just yet!
What I found made me stop and think about which platform, blog or website, I should choose for long term profits.
A few of the keywords/phrases I searched for randomly were; dog training, bbq recipes, homeschool basics, etc.
What I found is that on average, html websites dominated the SERPS. What was more surprising was the age of some of these pages that were dominating the top spots. There were pages with articles as far back as 2001. In comparison, the oldest blog post I could find dominating a SERP page was a 2005 post!
The areas where I saw blog post dominating was the “making money online” type of keywords. I figure it’s simply because of the sheer number of bloggers blogging about making money online. Once you move away from internet related keywords, good ole HTML sites rule!
A Long Term Income Strategy for Netpreneurs
If you haven’t figured out yet that your portfolio should have a mix of blogs and HTML websites, well, I just told you.
I’m not a big fan of adding a blog onto a HTML website. I’ve tried that and it’s not for me. I’ve also tried adding forums onto blogs and HTML websites, not for me either.
What I have found that works for me is a niche website that is focused on one subject. This strategy is no different than ones used by many bloggers, it just uses a standard website rather than a blog platform.
If your goal is to create long term residual income with the least amount of effort, then think about adding some websites to your portfolio. Don’t expect them to take off and make a kazillion dollars in the next few months, but if built well they will succeed
