Four Reasons WordPress Rules The Blog Software World

Writing by Brick Marketing on Thursday, 5 of June , 2008 at 7:10 am

There are many arguments about which blog software is best, particularly after the last release of  WordPress. However, when you add everything up, WordPress still offers one of the best support networks, official and un-official and has the largest range of templates and plugins of any blog software package.  Not only that:

  1. WordPress is  SEO friendly
    With the use of either permalink option or plugins,  you can make the URL the title of the blog - and if the blog title is keyword optimized, so is the URL.  You can also add tags which not only help with blog SEO, they also help with sites such as Technorati. Plugins enable each page to have their own meta tag descriptions.
  2. Quick Keyword Rich Content
    If you wrote two posts every day you would have over 700 SEO friendly pages within 12 months. Writing, editing and publishing content is quick and easy and you don’t need to be a computer or internet genius to use the software.
  3. Distribution on Auto Pilot
    RSS feeds are a great bonus, however an even bigger bonus is the ability to ‘ping’ your content automatically - the moment it is published. The ‘ping’ send a notification of your new content to as many different sites as you like - simply add their ping details, set and forget. Your content is then automatically distributed.
  4. Communication Channels
    If your content is interesting or thought provoking then people will either leave comments or refer to your post in a post of their own. With inbuilt tools such as ‘trackbacks’, you can quickly gain a lot of good links. Blogging itself has developed a community and the communication and discussions that take place on some posts can be as good as forums.

WordPress has become the most used blog software in use at present and the community of users is growing daily. Does it Rock? To the dedicated users - of course it does!

Sorry for what may be an obvious question, but are you referring to the Wordpress.org version that is SEO friendly? If you compare just the hosted (on their server) versions of Blogger and Wordpress.com - is one of them more SEO friendly than the other in your opinion? Just wondering because my website is ASP and therefore I can’t use the downloadable version of Wordpress (from Wordpress.org)
