Blog or Articles?

I need your feedback.

Should I skip the blogging and instead write valuable articles on this site, like a new each week or so? And then remake to have a more static home page?

Or rather blog several times a day and provide new daily content for daily visitors like a real blog?

Should I start a Swedish SEO blog on another domain?

I think articles is better. Rather 1 very good article on SEO then 20 pages of blogging in my opinion. 90% of my visitors are coming to internal “article like” pages. Hmm …

At least one thing I have found out:

Usually people discuss on forums, they observe something interesting and perhaps come to some interesting conclusions. Then people blogs about it and the next step is a good article written on the subject.

But then you have cases like Ammon Johns writing articles in forum threads, lol. Or people writing articles that look like forum chatting …

Well, I will soon have decided.

Meanwhile check out the new WP template design I made for the short stories.

I like your current setup, but a weekly article in addition would be great.

I agree with the previous speakers. I like the setup now. A couple of intresting blogpost about internet marketing/SEO a week, and now and then some SEO experiments and articles.

Well, I also do like the current setup. But if you see that 90 % goes to your articles pages, then that speaks for itself, doesn’t it? You should rather have an articled based site, with a more static website.

Still, I find it very interesting to check out some new blog posts every now and then.. so why not combine it in some way?

Hello Jim,
Wow, thanks for that post regarding me, it makes me feel so special.
And yeh congratulations for coming 2nd in the “V7ndotcom Elursrebmem” contest. Man I totally missed out on this one, loads of projects plus final exams fast approaching, all together a scary situation! Anyways beware I am up for the next one… hehe..
Btw, regarding the blog or article situation, I’d love if you categorise your articles into one seperate category, and proceed on with general blogging as this is very interesting to read.
Simply,an articles site would overall only lead to content plagiarisation and wannabes stealing your posts!
I suggest carry on with the flow and just categorise your articles in one, thereby we readers can have the added benefit of both!
Good Luck!

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I have decided to keep the current set up and I will also at a later data have my articles or “best posts” on a single location.

Abhishek, nice to hear from you. I might have some work for you later on - you gave me a good impression.
