Why Wordpress
|
The more I use Wordpress,
more I love it. It has 2 very important features that Blogger doesn't yet support.
Number 1, you can set up Wordpress
automatically ping all
RSS
blog feed directories every time you make a post. This
a very powerful feature if you want your blog
get a lot
traffic right away. On top
that, you'll be quickly developing backlinks
your blog almost automatically.
Think about how long
can take you
build a regular site, get
search engines
index it, get backlinks
improve your listings,
then start getting traffic. A blog like Wordpress can do all that "grunge" work
you automatically.
Number 2, Wordpress allows
use
Categories. Categories are a very powerful way
improve
structure
your site both
human visitors
search engines.
Let's say
topic
your site
Widgets. You could create a Category
black widgets, one
orange widgets,
one
green widgets.
Now when you add posts
your blog, you can choose which
your categories your post belongs to. Now your blog will archive your past posts not only by their month
date,
Blogger does. But also by Category.
So if you have a visitor who
especially interested
green widgets, they can easily find all your posts
green widgets. They don't have
go through your entire archives
find them. With a blog that has been around
awhile
has hundreds
posts, that would be pretty discouraging. Using Categories makes
very easy.
Categories are also very search engine friendly. When you use Categories
your blog, there
a link
every one
your pages
your categories. Think about this: would you rather be #1
search engines
March 2003, or
green widgets, one
main keywords
your site?
By using
Category feature, you will eventually have hundreds
pages
your site with links
green widgets, black widgets,
orange widgets. All those backlinks
those keywords can result
much higher search engine rankings.
Another neat feature
that you can easily create an RSS feed
each
your categories. Then every time you post
your blog,
could be pinging
Blog/RSS directories
each feed!
Compare that
putting up a new page
a traditional website. Even if
search engines find your new page right away,
might be a month or two before
actually gets indexed
starts drawing traffic. It might be a long time before
enjoys a first page position
its keywords.
It's almost amazing how easy all this
with a well-structured blog like Wordpress with Categories enabled!
