What can a website or blog do for you

Websites and blogs are wonderful opportunities to get our opinion out to the world. The blog is an abbreviation for web-log, usually a journal of thoughts and ideas, but today people are using a blog for business purposes as well. There are free blog sites or you could pay a hosting site, buy a domain name and have your blog on their site. Depending on your budget choose one or the other. Buying a domain name gives you the edge as you own the name outright. Taking a domain on a free blog or website means that you only partially own the domain name. Search engines seem to work better with domains that are owned outright. One of the best parts of owning you own domain name is you get to choose what you want for your domain name, and which extension you prefer, for instance .com .net .whatever choice there is as there is a wider variety of extensions.

Owning a website give you the opportunity to add your personal feeling on a site, with Free Drupals you can control who visits your site by using the personal login options where the visitor uses a username and a password to enter the site. This is good for membership sites and blogs where you have a personal journal you don’t want to share with all and sundry.

If you wish to have a business site or a site that generates a lot of traffic then an open site if more suited. The Drupal themes give you the choice. Always remember to attract the visitor and keep them on the site as long as possible you need to have interesting content that captures the reader’s attention.

Other things you can do is make invitation to subscribe to your blog or website prominent on the site have an invitation to subscribe as soon as the log on the site, then give them a second opportunity to subscribe as they are leaving.
