Question about Blog Content
 

Is it imperative that blogs have actual text entries to be successful or is it possible/likely that a blog can do just as well/better than one that consists entirely of images/videos? I am sure for SEO text helps but once you gain traffic, do you have to keep inputting text descriptions?

Appreciate the comments and advice.

You can do whatever you want, what works for one person is different from the next. :2 cents:

Appreciate the response. I guess what I am asking is if it is considered bad practice? I know some of the blog submitter sites want original hand written content which would make an entirely image/video blog impossible to get listed, correct?

The whole benefit to using a blog is the text value it brings to the domain, and the simplicity in adding textual and media rich content. You want to use text just because that's what the site type (blog) itself is based on.

People use the blog as a tool to generate targeted traffic from social media sites and search engines, the use of text is instrumental in that.

There is many other site types or scripts that will create an all photo site, or all video site and deliver the content better. And also many hybrids that are decent at doing both or all, but again, might as well use the medium to its most potential, and in that case its adding text to blog posts.

Perfect. Well explained answer and I appreciate it. That helps alot.

Clear and to the point :thumbsup
