WordPress – The Only Choice If You Are Serious About Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) & Fresh Content

My WordPress Blog at About Town Marketing is now live!  It’s taken me 3 months to read every book and online article dedicated to setting up and promoting my WordPress blog.  Finally I think I am in a great place to share my journey in exchange for some new ideas, comments and followers to my social media channels.  A summary of my key findings is below and I would be happy to answer any questions you have through my social media networks and please help me by following these as well and in return I will follow your social media channels.

Why Choose WordPress?

WordPress and Google have a symbiotic relationship that drives great search engine optimisation (SEO) and gets your content found – this is why I went with WordPress as opposed to other blogging platforms.

What Did I Learn About WordPress Blogs?

I have now incorporated a WordPress blog into my website and installed a number of plugins to improve performance, look, feel and functionality.  The theme is Thesis which Google seems to like for search engine optimisation (SEO) and I have also installed Daniel Tans SEO Pressor which I highly recommend.  The best read I found was from Amazon, “Word Press Power Guide – Blog Your Way to Success” by Lambert Klein.  The best $3.99 I have ever spent on an e book!
