Just Because You Have Apples Doesn't Mean You Have to Bake A Pie

And when you build a website using WordPress technology, it doesn't have to be a typical blog.

A blog is really just a website with a built in Content Management System and a few other features with HUGE marketing benefits. If you are tired of struggling to have your site found on the web and have aspirations to be listed in the first page of search engine results then blog technology is the way to go.

10 reasons why it makes sense use blog technology to build your website.

1. It's quick and easy to add pages and edit content. If you know how to use MSWord, you are ready to get started. No waiting for a webmaster to have time to make updates for you.
2. There are lots of free programs or in blog jargon “plugins” that developers make available so it's easy to add new functions at any time.
3. Learn a little bit about SEO and you can do a credible job of optimizing your own website.
4. Add an RSS feed that automatically notifies readers every time you add a new page or post to your site.
5. It's easy and economical to pull out a blog later if you decide you want one after the static pages are built.
6. Search engines eat up fresh content. Visitors to your site will be able to contribute content to the site through comments and you have full control of what is displayed on the site and what is not.
7. `A traditional website is a means of delivering information. A blog website with a blog set up in addition to static pages is an opportunity to have a conversation with visitors.
8. Changing the look of the site is as easy as choosing a new theme and applying it to the site.
9. Easy to market using Social Media (chicklets at the bottom of pages)
10. Can be set up to market automatically by pinging when new content is added. Google and other search engines love blogs. The structure, internal links, inbound links, titles, and url configuration are all very search engine friendly.

Whether you are building a new site or redesigning a site you already have, WordPress blog technology is the way to go.

I look forward to seeing you on the 1st page of Google!
