Are blogs better than regular websites for SEO?

    i posted the following question in html design section of this forum but didn't get any answer. Hoping this is the correction section for the question below.

    I'm considering moving my blog to regular html web pages. Can someone explain if having a regular website is better than blogs? I've heard that googlebot crawls the blogs more often than regular websites. If so, how long does it take for the pages from a website to be indexed in google?

    Thanks!

    Blogs tend to be updated more, with quality, targeted content (though not always unfortunately). Blogging is a great vessel for content if your website is one that fit's post-like frequent content updates.

    html or not, wordpress or not, the main focus is just to get traffic to a specific article, and not a bunch of junk going on the site. It is distracting and leads to know call of action, it leads users away from site.

    A blog like blogspot.com/blogger.com is even better than other cms or html version in SEO, it has lots of powerful plugins and get crawled by google very often.

    That is quite sad! How can all of a sudden everything be lost. You may not have updated your content for long or you would have continued with both initially giving a link of the blogger profile at your own website or vice versa.

    In general, yes blogs are set up to be better for SEO because of their structure. Keep your blog. :)
