I read somewhere you're better off doing a regular website in order to get traffic to it as opposed to blogs. Is this a fact?
Don't quit the day job. Sites are sites. It's all about content and structure. Everything is just a tool. It's how you use the tool and your ability to market that matters.
with owning your own web site you have more control of the looks of your site and the html code , but many well achieved vlogs do rank well for seo too
