Website or Blog?

by NancyC on April 23, 2009

Are you still using static websites for your marketing?

Have you made the move to a blog?

If not, you are losing traffic, losing Google position, and losing the thing the internet is all about, interactivity with your customers and prospects.

WordPress is the future of site building, in fact the future is here now.

As an award winning website designer, I have not built a static HTML site in over 2 years.

The only thing I use standard HTML pages for are landing pages and sales pages – and I’m even moving away from doing that with the new developments in Blog capability.

I’ve gone to a single action style blog for many of my sales pages. It’s a blog that looks like a standard HTML site in that it displays pages instead of posts.

WordPress offers so many advantages, it’s difficult to even describe them all here.

WordPress is Open Source, meaning that there is a vast community, with thousands of developers, creating new themes and plugins to customize your site.

It adheres to W3C standards for XHTML and CSS. It’s a complete content management system. It can build static pages as well as blogs, so you maintain a branded look and feel across all of your pages.

It’s web based, so you can post content using any computer, anywhere in the world. All you need is internet access.

Additionally, so many activities can be automated using specialized plugins that will save hours of time normally
associated with promtional and marketing activities.

You can use plugins to automatically submit RSS feeds to aggregators, automatically bookmark posts to social bookmarking sites, automatic SEO, link cloaking plugins for affiliate sales, auto tagging for Technorati and Delicious, Twitter plugins for Social Media – the list goes on and on.

Finally, and most importantly, Google loves blogs. You can get incredible Google love you just can’t get with
static HTML sites.

If you have a crumbling HTML static website, it’s time to consider converting to WordPress – it is the most powerful tool available for marketing or building a website.

Until Next Time…

I started with Blogs, moved to websites and am back to Blogs. I think you are right blogs and what blogs will become are the future of the internet.

I want to add referral tracking into my site. Basically I run a subscription site that costs 10$/year. I want to have related sites place a banner on their site and pay them 2$ for each new subscription they get me. How would I do that? Basically I need a banner to give to the refferal sites and a way to know how much refferals they sent me.

Invest in a decent affiliate software program and create the banner as part of the tools you provide your affiliates.

hey, I’ve I have sent a few questions by email, and appreciate if you could respond to me.
I’d like to see what other people are asking as well.
Is this a good place to post, or is there a forum somewhere else?
Thanks

Hey Miken… we haven’t received any emails from you.. you can find them on the contact page tho and email any questions you have.

As for other questions, we don’t answer them via the website… this is only to make the information available. We work mostly with actual clients that pay consulting fees.

We will be bringing up a members site at some point, which is where we’d have an open forum, but no date yet.
