If I were to run my own company, I'll have a blog of my own running on that domain itself. It'll definitely be separate from my own personal blog, and have more targetted topics. So, if I own mycompany.xzy, it'll obviously have a corporate web site feel to it. My blog will probably be at azmeen.mycompany.xyz. Now back to the topic of bodybuilder.com. If you visited the site, you'll see that they have zero contextual ads (AdSense, YPN, whatnot). They are actually selling stuff from an actual online store. Something most of us here don't have. I tend to agree with Gaman on this. For one thing, operating a store comes with a lot of responsibilities, ie. stock maintenance, marketing, customer service. At some point or another, you'll probably need to hire staff to assist, or outsource this function to a third party. You have to think beyond blogging. Blogs are a nice touch to a corporate site. But turning your blog to a corporate site, although achievable, is quite a feat to execute. Just my RM0.02 :) Why not have both?
