Blog or no blog

Ahhhhh! I'm soo over blogs. I do spend a lot of time reading some frequently updated seo blogs.

They're just so much work to keep up to date.

I prefer to more static sites, It's just less maintenance ...

Yes and no. Static is less maintenance in that you don't have to constantly update, but blogs are less maintenance in that you can add content, links, and categories with ease.

Blogs have some huge advantages such as the many directories and services that are Blog specific. However, there are many that believe actually branding your site as a blog can hurt because some studies have shown that most people don't take blogs as seriously as regular sites.

I personally would go the blog route, but there are some out there that think it's less "professional" and can hurt.

I've always felt the same thing and usually respect a "real" site more, by default.

true, blogs are in between portal sites and forums when it comes to a feeling of authority I think.
