Squeeze Page Optin

I have this confusion with blogs and squueze pages and how its content is to be distributed. What I keep having in my head pop up is why have a blog if you have a squeeze page.

Like if you have a squeeze page and you captured peoples address, they will still be receiving content from you. You can just kinda keep sending the information. Isn’t this the same as having a blog that has content except you are just getting it via e-mail. Why have a blog… I don’t get it. I hear money is in the list and I just see that a squeeze page is more beneficial. They will have everything in their face. Like an e-mail they get they will have it right in their face that you are promoting something and on the other hand with a blog, they have to look for that spot because of all distractions.

I’m just so confused… can some explain me the main goal purpose of each and what is each trying to do. I’m talking about a blog and a squeeze page where you get e-mails with content. Whats their take on what they’re trying to do.

Also if you have an optin form in your blog to get a free report or something, what else woulc you be sending them besides something to sell. If you are going to send content too, but why would you do that since all the content is on your blog. Can someone fix this confusion for me too.

Sorry for these questions, I just had to get if off my head reaaallly bad.

Thanks in advance to whoever read this and somewhat understood,… I greatly appreciate it.

Providing useful content along with a squeeze or sales page is I believe, mainly to satisfy search engines’ insistence that a site be a public service, even if using adwords PPC, a bare bones squeeze page may rate a low quality score if it lacks text matching the ad wording and certain minimal accommodation, like privacy policy, contact links and at least one off page link.
