    Hey,
    Its vacation i have have some free time next weeks so I'm thinking about setting up another weblog/site. I have the url: carsonbatteries.com, now I'm not sure what i should do start a site or a weblog about Electric cars . What is easier to market and what is more appealing and has a higher chance of making some money?

    Sites that are somewhat interactive, such as blogs, are in style.

    I suggest you go with a fully optimised wordpress theme, i have a website which i have been running the last 9 months and i have now made my mind up to totally redesign the website which was a static website in to a wordpress theme my main reasons for this are:

    It takes me more time to upload the articles and edit pages than it does to write the articles.

    There are so many GREAT plugins for wordpress themes which are not available for static websites

    Everything is just so much easier on WP

    When i do change i ll have so much more time to invest in to writing the articles instead of editing page upon page.

    Currently using a static website i have to edit all this to after writing one article and i write usually 1-2 a day.

    Home Page
    Navigation Bar
    Sitemap
    Top Bar
    Make the actual article page
    Upload it all
    Check it all works
    Edit the RSS feed xml file

    And a couple more tweaks here and there.

    So i advise going for a WP theme.

    My vote is for weblog only because you can draw huge traffic to your blog than site and also make few bucks.

    Hey Crazanz,

    I would say that you should use a fully SEO-optimized wordpress blog. A lot of good seo-plugins are availbale for free and also there a lot of free wordpress themes which should fit in your topic.

    There are many possibilities to push your blog then - short-term and/or long-term.

    Also it's very important to know when you want to monetize your site/blog how you want to do it? PPC, PPI, Bum Marketing and so on. :)

    But good luck anyway with your cool project Crazyanz...
