Your presence and a crucial pipeline for future leads and sales is content!!!, which accumulates more and better key phrase indexing, more back links, email and rss subscriptions, bookmarks, feed [to other site] connections, choices from the serps, content movement and overall activity. It's advertising visibility everywhere possible and blogsites make this happen! Websites, in lieu of blogsites that can do anything a website can PLUS more, may NOT be the important long term tool or solution. Wordpress, for instance, is designed to be agile – it scales!! It enables virtually any feature plugin and it keeps evolving and advancing [when managed properly] so that one is never working with a website that will one day be obsolete. If there is any chance you may do away with the website one day? If so and you want to maintain all the things mentioned above [established with the blogsite], we'd argue the best strategy is to have them seperate!

Some content needs to stay the same over time. Some blog post may deter potential customers...? A good example is my most recent post on mt blog www.DeepCreekRealEstateBlog.com announcing that I also have firewood for sale at Deep Creek Lake, MD. This is a great post for people who already know me but not something I want on the front page of my Deep Creek Lake real estate website www.DeepCreekRealEstate.com. Both sites have different function. I see the need to bring my blog to my website (maybe the same URL – somehow?) but I don’t think I will ever do away with the website.

The posts are locally taylored to what is happening nationally. The days of listing, marketing, peddling just sticks and bricks are over. You as a real estate broker are branding yourself while telling the viewers in videos, readers of blogs what your area is all about. Folks eight states away want information on your locality..you the broker timely post it daily on a blog. Have both, and they are a real estate tag team.

But good contents of the website would do better. Blog sites are great in creating good backlinks that may help in getting potential clients specially in real state business.

Websites can be replaced by blogs,according to the main point,blogs do great on optimization process that's why. But I also agree to Janet,a very good content of the website is the most important. And it depends on how the website is maintained,the status of the website will stand.My SEO routines do great. Yes,maybe.

A blog makes a great adjunct to the website.

Maintaining content is so much easier using Wordpress (we use the Thesis theme) and SEO is much better. So I def agree that a blog can replace a Website.
