Biz thread : What advantages do blogs have over web pages for developing traffic?

[tony286]

I read how WP uses a ton of resources, how it can be hacked. I had read one of the reasons for a blog is the exchange of ideas,the going back and forth. Most of the adult ones look like pic posts with a different look and more text.
So if I started just web pages to drive traffic to my sites, would a blog have any advantages?

Any other way requires actual work, whereas wordpress is like install and start updating your website with content.

Don't think of wordpress as a blog, it's just like any other website CMS if you use it correctly. You could convert most websites to wordpress and they'd probably do better in the se's too.

A tool is only as good as the person using it.


I personally use WP and since July 2005 I have built an empire. I weened myself off of AVS sites, free sites, TGPs, MGPs and gateways.

Advantages a blog offers are syndication, ping notifications, friendly url's, and correct tag usage which all can provide some seo benefits. If you develop your sites with regular webpages, add a feed and use optimum tags (h1, etc..) you even the playing field.
