My first Magazine Create a Blog to Get Traffic to Your Website

WP Contentio Review is a great way to get traffic to your website, and if you create a blog
for no other reason than that, you are practically certain to get positive results. Blogging and
traffic are made for each other, and there are several ways of using blogs to promote products
on your site.
The first question is what kind of blog? Although there are alternatives, the most popular
blogging software packages are Google's Blogger and Wordpress. This offers you four
blogging options, and three ways of creating a blog to get traffic to your website.
Why four from just two blogging packages? Here is the answer to that question, and how if
you create a blog using each, you will maximize your earning potential from your products:
Blogger
Blogger is blogging software owned by Google. Most people run their blog from BlogSpot,
Bloggers blogging host. When you do that you have less control over your blog than if you
operate it from your own IP address. Blogger is very easy to use, and very easy to get started
with, and is popular with those who don't want to worry about templates, plugins and
designing their own blogs.
Wordpress
Wordpress can also be run from the Wordpress hosting site. However, where Wordpress
scores over Blogger is in the fact that the software can be uploaded to your website, and can
be run from there. This enables you to use any of the thousands of Wordpress plugins and
templates that provide an almost unlimited degree of functionality in your blogging that will
help to drive traffic to your website.
When you create a blog with any of these two different packages, whether run from your own
computer or from the blog host, you are able to provide fresh content daily to your virtual
website. Because that is what a blog is: it is in effect a web page, in the same way that a
Squidoo lens and a page on a website is a web page.
Bogging and Search Engines
Blogging allows you a presence on search engines such as Google and Yahoo, and allows
those with little idea of SEO or even of web design, to sell products online. There was a time
when blogs were a rarity and something new, but blogging is now a way for anybody that
knows how to create a blog can drive traffic to their website or to their blog page and help
them make money through free advertising.
However, even a blog has to be advertised. Blogging in itself is not an advertising technique,
but one of displaying your thoughts, idea, products or advertising your products. Now, you
might think I am being a bit duplicitous here, stating that blogging is not a means of
advertising yet can be used to advertise! Yet both statements are true. Let me explain why.
