Using something like free "WordPress" software - www.wordpress.org - lets you have both "static" pages, as well as a blog. That essentially gives you "both"...

(If you have something called "Fantastico" on your web host, it makes WordPress really easy to install. Ask your web host if they have "Fantastico"...)

For example, check out Gordon's site, www.DoomGloomBliss.com ...

You can see the blog pages.

But also, along the top, you see the "static" pages (with titles like "90 Day Accelerated Cash", "Cash", "Celeb Corner", "Contact", "Ideas", and so on...

Best wishes!

Dien

Blogs and Forums seem to be best for SEO, at least short term. I have very little experience with SEO and was able to get a long tailed domain with 5400 searches a month in the #1 position on google within about a week doing a forum. (Which is kinda similar to a blog) And to my understanding blogs can be even better, and definitely easier. Im currently working on a static site that I will just be adding content to constantly.. Low Competition for 550,000 searches a month and I plan on working on various different key words for this site. So for this site I am doing static instead of blog/forum, however I also am going to have to make hundreds of pages for it to make it to the top position.

Depends on your keywords and competition partially but unless you want to make lots of pages of content I think I would do a blog.
