7 Reasons to Use WordPress for Your Website

WordPress is a powerful yet simple web publishing system that is free  to use.  WordPress software is installed on a web server that uses PHP and a MySQL database and has a built in online editor where multiple writers can publish content.

There are essentially two ways to use WordPress. If you want to set up a blog and begin publishing right away, you can go to www.wordpress.com and sign up for an account. In no time you’ll be blogging away.

WordPress also comes in a software package that you can download and install on your webserver. You can download the web application here: http://wordpress.org/

1. Simple to Use
The power in WordPress is it is very simple to use. There is a small learning curve where you learn to publish posts and pages, and also set up categories and tags. The online web page editor allows users to publish content without knowing HTML or web design. No technical knowledge is necessary to be able to publish with WordPress.

2. Create web pages yourself
With WordPress, you don’t need to rely on a web designer to publish web pages or edit them. WordPress puts the control in your hands and gives you full publishing power. A web page designer who is knowledgeable in WordPress is necessary to do the initial set up and configuration of the web application.  They can also customize the design and layout for you to give your website the unique look and feel you need. But beyond that, you can have the power to take full control of the web content creation process.

If a customized design is beyond your budget constraints, WordPress has many different templates providing a wide array of design and functionality.

3. Publish Content Quickly
WordPress allows for multiple accounts so you can have numerous writers publishing web page content simultaneously. A key factor in using WordPress is how it separates content from design. So people who are writing your content do not need to be distracted with how the page is designed. This frees people up to focus on writing great content.

4. SEO enabled Content
WordPress comes with many built in features that enable your web pages to be SEO compliant. There are a few additional add-ons that can be installed to make your pages even more optimized when it comes to web searches. SEO is a complex field. But with WordPress, much of the SEO is already done for you, allowing you to focus on publishing your content. Because WordPress is a blogging application, Google lists your web site both in their regular index and blog index, too. So you get greater coverage.

5. Automatic notifications
WordPress excels as a blogging application and as such, automatically notifies search engines that you have published new content. This speeds up the indexing of your pages considerably.

6. Add-ons
WordPress has many different add-ons, or mini-programs that carry out specific tasks. You can search at WordPress.org to see all the different plug ins available. The variety is amazing. These plug-ins expand the power and functionality of your website without the cost and time of hiring a web developer to do the same thing. These add ons are  ready to use, and simply can be installed. Some add ons require some simple configuration steps.

7. Strong Developer Community
WordPress has a very strong community of committed IT programmers and developers. As a result, the web application is very strong. As WordPress’ popularity continues to grow, more developers join the pool which ensures continued growth and a better software development.

Using Google’s Keyword Tool

Using Google’s Keyword Tool

Google’s keyword analysis tool is very useful in helping you determine the most used keywords and keyword phrases that people are using to find web sites like yours. The tool tracks all search words and phrases people are typing into Google’s search engine and ranks the results from most searches to least in number.

Yahoo’s keyword tool used to be widely used, but it no longer provides reliable results, since it only tracks Yahoo searches. Since Google has un-seated Yahoo as the world’s most powerful search engine, it follows that Google’s keyword tool is much more reliable than Yahoo’s.

Here is the link to Google’s keyword tool:

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

To discover your industry’s most effective keyword tool, type a phrase into the text box. The results will help you discover words you may not of considered. Try typing other phrases as well. The more you research, the better you will be able to define your industry’s most popular keyphrases.  It will also help you discover what words may not be the best to use.

Once you determine a list of the most popular keywords, you can now begin writing your web site’s content.
