WordPress Blog Sites are Popular… AND Good for SEO

Monday, November 15th, 2010

WordPress Blog sites have been extremely popular this year.  WordPress is free blogging software that can be used as an inexpensive content management system for your web site.  IDP will build a custom WordPress skin so that the blog looks exactly like your web site.  Users will not notice any difference as they click back and forth between your blog and your web site.  We will also integrate the blog onto your home page, so that your most recent articles appear on the home page.

Blog sites are good for search engine optimization.  We advise our customers to blog at least once a week, if possible.  Even once a month will work.  One of the ways to improve your search engine ranking is to establish yourself as an expert in your area of business.  Blog entries for a business should cover news, product information, advise, free tips, announcements, services, specials, technical information, research, developments and any other important information consumers may find useful.

Here are some example blog sites we have built for customers:
