4 Differences Between Websites And A Blog
Blogs are sites where a person can put a shared journal or a businesses can even promote their
website. There have been a lot of questions out there lately of how a blog works and how they are
different from other website. There are usually 4 basic differences that make a Blog unique from a
website.
1. Posts Posts are said to be the core function of any blog. It is the building blocks of the blog and it
is what holds the blog together. The posting on the blog is most generally done by the blog owner
and is usually on a variety of different topics. Also another distinct difference between a blog and a
website is on the blog the postings will appear in chronological order. With a website you do not
have to post. It is just a basic site where a person may go to obtain information on a certain product
or idea.
2. Comments On a blog visitors are allowed to leave comments, if you the owner authorize it, on
your posts. It is also a good way for a reader of your blog and you to communicate. The comment
section of your blog also helps drive visitors to your site. The comment section is a very important
component of any blog. With a website you do not have to have a comment section.
3. Categories The category section of your blog is basically where the information from the posts or
posted content is organized. It keeps your site looking neat and well formatted. It also prevents your
blog from looking overcrowded. For bigger Blogs the categories can be organized by month or even
topic. There is also usually a search feature that assists the reader to find information on a certain
topic quickly. Usually the blog has software that automatically places your posts into various
categories.
4. Subscriptions This is a very important aspect when you want to learn how a Blog works. The
subscription features allows readers to become a member of the blog and once they become a
member of the blog they can be notified when new information is placed on a blog. This is a great
reason to create a blog as it allows you to create an online community on a certain topic. Some blog
sites are now implementing a news letter feature which allows a person to read your information
without even having to sign into the site.
As you can see there are some big differences between a blog and a website. The more differences
you understand the more you will understand Blogging. A Blog can be a fun and exciting way to
meet new people while sharing your ideas, if they are understood correctly.

Blog Ethics
Creating a blog is a great way for anyone to share their life experiences and even advertise their
business. To date there are no actual code of ethics developed for bloggers to follow but there are
three common sense ethic codes that anyone should follow while they are running their blog posts.
These are the code of ethics that will prove you as a trustworthy blog owner.
1. Fair and Honest:
You need to be fair and honest to your followers. You need to make sure all the information you
provide is honest without adding any false information. When you are providing facts you need to
make them distinct, true, and easy to follow. Do not attempt to distort your facts, visitors can read
this right away and as a result, you will lose visitors. If you happen to provide any information, in
your site that may appear to be false; you need to provide your reader with factual information to
back up your statement. If you are adding pictures to your blog add captions underneath to explain to
the reader about the picture. Fair and Honest are two of the most important components of the
bloggers code of ethics.
2. Harm of others:
When you are creating a blog topic on a very controversial issue avoid using any ones names or
places. This will protect you from any lawsuits and also from hurting visitors? feelings. A good
motto for this code of ethic would be, say to others what you would want them to say about you.
You also need to be sure that you protect a person?s privacy. Invading a person?s privacy is rude as
well as intrusive. If you do not want someone doing it to you then do not do it to others. A great way
to avoid violating this blog code of ethic is to avoid using names or places if it all possible. If it is
unavoidable try to use as much damage control as possible.
3. Be Accountable:
You need to accept the consequences that may come with your blog. If you have made a mistake in
any of your postings admit it right away, do not try to avoid it. Everyone makes mistakes and if you
own up to yours you will be more respected in the readers eyes.
If someone happens to question your information on your blog open up a discussion with the person.
Try to see why they feel the way they do and if they prove to be right, apologize to the person and
admit that yes you are right I did make a mistake. If you are not accountable for your blog you will
be in violation of the blog code of ethics and as a result, you will lose followers.
All of these blog codes of ethics are common sense but also the most neglected parts of Blogging.
Following a basic code of ethics will enable you to be trustworthy blogger to your visitors.

Blog Making Money - Can You Do It
A blog making money is a blog that is generally successful. While this isn?t the focal point of many
blogs, for some, it?s a nice addition to their income and for the more successful, their only source of
income and one that allows them a well enough lifestyle. For the most part, making money off blogs
is a mystery to many people ? it doesn?t have to stay that way. Read on and you may discover
another way for you to make money.
Before anything else, you need to be able to write fairly consistently and at a steady pace. Three or
four entries a week doesn?t seem like much at the start, but after a while it can wear even the most
devoted writers down. It?s just like any job ? sometimes you get bored with it and you step out for a
day or two, but the Internet is a far more demanding ruler than many bosses. Plus nothing feels
better than knowing you have a blog making money. When you have a solid and devoted following,
you can afford to miss one or two days or even weeks. Some sites even go a month without
updating, but at the very start, you need to be able to stick to it like white on rice.
For those who open blogs based on products, you?re in luck ? you can probably get on the affiliate
bandwagon and make some money that way. Now, how does that work? It?s fairly simple. Being an
affiliate to a website basically means that you?re advertising them on your website, either by having
content related to the main website and linking to them or by showing their ads on your site.
Payment isn?t like it is in other media industries though. The Internet?s just a different field than
television, one that requires a different payment method.
Generally, the setup is a pay-per-blank, wherein the blank is something that changes from group to
group when it comes to blog making money. Most people go for the pay per click variant, which
means exactly what it suggest ? payment only occurs once a viewer on your site clicks the link to
their site. Another popular variant, one mostly for merchandise sites such as Amazon, is the
pay-per-purchase variant. A user needs to do more than simply browse through the numerous items
available ? they actually have to purchase something.
Payment for advertising for blog making money varies from group to group. Luckily the internet and
thus, the people you can meet in it is so wide that you?ll probably find someone or a group that
wants to advertise or have you as an affiliate. Build a good site and the money will come.
Probably. The internet and blogging aren?t some magic words that you can use to instantly get ahead
in the rat race. It just doesn?t work that way. You still have to work hard and make a site that
advertisers would actually be interested in, that can give real traffic to those who would make you
an affiliate site. Work hard, put in the leg work and yours might be a blog making money.
