Blogs or Articles – Which one do search engines prefer?
Friday, August 28, 2009 20:44Blogs aim at getting one’s thoughts across in a rather personal manner, while Articles usually are perceived to provide a greater deal of information and accurate details. From the point of view of a search engine, both seem to be a good source of information. However, which one holds a better rank?
To answer that, we need to know the value of each one. To start with, lets look at Blogs. They are timely, personal and posses an insiders point of view. It is usually frequently updated.
Articles on the other hand are greatly Information oriented, Authoritative, detailed and are driven by marketing.
In the case of a fresher, Blogs certainly rate higher than the articles. But it is essential to know that only if your blog is highly ranked will the articles be more exposed, as there chances of your article being viewed by more people is greater. Articles can be submitted to many sources on the web. Seoresources.seoforgoogle.com is a link for example.

Articles help re-enforce the product or service you trying to sell, from a business perspective.The information an article brings is worth more, because by writing an article instead of a blog, there is a feeling that more care is taken to do it.
Most people reckon that a blog will have a personal tinge to it, irrespective of whether the author is heading a company, or promoting something that they seem interested in.From my own experiences, no one has purchased any product being pushed in a blog, but surprisingly, there has been an astonishing influx of sales that can directly be traced back to an article.
So basically what this means is that, if you have something you desire to promote, make use of an article and if you want to speak your mind or convey a message, create a blog. Although both are regarded very well by the search engines, your goal is to convince the user and not confuse the search engines.
