Comments on: What is the Difference Between Blogging and Content Writing? http://www.blogtrafficexchange.com/what-is-the-difference-between-blogging-and-content-writing/ Driving Quality Traffic to Your Blog Sun, 09 Oct 2011 09:02:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.4 By: Charles http://www.blogtrafficexchange.com/what-is-the-difference-between-blogging-and-content-writing/comment-page-1/#comment-26912 Charles Wed, 23 Jun 2010 12:25:13 +0000 http://www.blogtrafficexchange.com/?p=94#comment-26912 I think what ends up being missed here in this topic is one of optimization. While bloggers typically report on topics that are buzz worthy and current, they often are not themed specifically for a concept/product line. This allows the blogger to have the freedom of going outside of the preordained topic zone. Copy writers working in article delivery are limited by the conceptual idea of what they are engaged to write about. They concern themselves greatly on the appropriate keywords and natural yet firm 3%-8% topic density. I guess I would compare the two by stating that a blogger is a freelance painter who is allowed to paint whatever entertains their brain provided he/she entertains the market, while a article writer (especially in the internet marketing field) is a portrait painter constrained by their client's features and tastes. Kudos to both regardless - cheers! I think what ends up being missed here in this topic is one of optimization.

I'm following a slightly different set of definitions for blog posts, pages and articles. I view everything as an "article," and distinguish by other criteria. This is working well for me at the moment because I am building my "pillar" content: 101 articles on WordPress... averaging around 1000 words each. The strategy leverages my academic background, and my goal is credibility over raw traffic right now, fewer, higher quality readers. I can see myself linking to this post in the future, and expanding on parts of it. This is an excellent post!

Your mention about bloggers enjoying more of a social networking is spot on. I use article writing for distribution and marketing purposes. I write to inform, fulfill an informational need that wwill, hopefully, convince the reader that I have something worthy to contribute and make them want to come back to my blog for more. My blog then becomes an educational waypost for readers. I write to my readers, as if they were right here with me at my desk, when I blog. Thanks for a great post! ~cj I thoroughly enjoyed this blog post. Your mention about bloggers enjoying more of a social networking is spot on.
