WordPress Blogging Advantages and Web Hosting
Blogging websites and web sites that have WordPress blogging software attract more traffic because they are search engine optimized out of the box, make more money and are more interactive than traditional websites without blogging capability. I know this about blogging websites from my own experience. I am so glad I not only have blogging websites, but that I use WordPress for them. In fact, I use this platform for over a dozen sites that brings tons of visitors each and every month. Are you convinced yet that a website using WordPress blogging tools is the best option?.
The great thing about WordPress is you can make your blogging website look like anything you wish…even a traditional web site. This blogging website tool can be found for FREE with many of the discount web hosting providers we review right here.

Installing WordPress blogging websites can be accomplished in two simple and easy ways:
1. You can install WordPress blogging websites with one click through Fantastico ( a bunch of free scripts) located in the cPanel-control of many discount web hosting sites like BlueHost, HostGator, Host Monster and LunarPages.
2. You can install WordPress through an FTP program. This second method is a little bit harder, but gives you a little more control about where to place your blogging websites files.
Overall, WordPress is the blogging program that will help you the most if you are looking to build a website that not only attracts visitors, but also can help you make money online writing about the stuff you love and are good at.

Is there an SEO advantage of hosting my blog on an external established Blog system rather than my own?
I have a business blog section on my website. It’s basically an area of the website I can regularly update so that the content on my website is fresh. This is supposed to be good for my website in terms of search engines crawlers (apparently they’ll return more often).
But would I benefit more if I also have a blog in a proper blogging environment such as Blogger, WordPress etc. with links to various related pages in my website. I guess the upside would be that I would have relevent inbound links but the downside would be that I wouldn’t have the blog on my own site which means no regularly updated content.
Unless I run the blogs simultaneaously, but would that be seen as some sort of Black Hat technique due to the content being duplicated on an external blog which is linking back?
HELP!
Thanks in advance.
Having both blog on my website and on an external system is an option I’m open to, although I feared that I may be marked as a black hat by Search Engines.
If not then I may as well go for that.
You seem right on the ball with this one…
Believe me, if you do both, I can assure you that you wont be marked as black hat, don’t worry about it. I suggest that you do both, it will truly help you in the end.
However, if you need to chose one or the other, which do you think will attract more visitors? Clearly, it seems like your goal is to rank higher; but itsn’t the goal in the end to recieve more visitors?
If you have an outside blog, how many people will see it? Will it do anything for you? Will you market that blog? If so, how?
How many people are currently looking at your website? Will a blog on your website help retain visitors and help sell your company from there?
Depending on the search engine, there’s far more to SEO than just links; inbound & external. It’s also how many clicks on the page once visited, how long vistitors stay on the page, and so on.
Inwhich case, having both will help trumendously!
