Wordpress is one of the most fantastic blog and Content Management Systems there is, it was originally used only by people who blog, but now its extra features have transformed it away from just a pure blog platform into a fully fledged content management system.

There are tons of reasons to use Wordpress, first of all, it is free, it is also very fast to install. With the right web hosting company you can have it working with in a couple clicks. On top of this, there are thousands of templates, some are free or cheap, some pricey. Wordpress developers have really gotten behind it in a big way so there are simply loads of plugins, there is a plug-in for almost anything you can imagine!

For SEO Wordpress is totally awesome, you have total control of the structure of your blog, if you use the right plugins you can optimize your blog so it'll appear in Yahoo search engine listings with only a bit of effort.

One draw back of Wordpress (and any other opensource app) is that there are always upgrades. If you don't keep Wordpress up-to-date you risk your site being hacked and having your blog used for illegal activities.

The default theme which is supplied with Wordpress is pretty simple and great for search engine optimisation, with little code there isn't a lot interrupting your actual content. It's very plain though, so if you are wanting to have human readers you should maybe look into getting a better template ASAP.

Article creation and creation of categories is incredibly easy, with a few clicks you will have a new category created and with in a few moments you'll be able to post your first blog.

It is worth switching off the NoFollow attribute for commenters as this will entice people to post comments, lots of visitors comment on blogs to get backlinks. To cut down spam comments you can install a plug-in named Akismet to get rid of the majority of spammers. Akismet will find 99% of them, with the other 1% you can manually choose to accept or delete their comment.

With the use of other plugins like the 'Related Post' plugin you can create smart links between articles aswell, once your readers have finished viewing your initial post they will be enticed to view another on a relevant topic.

Making use of Wordpress to generate more traffic to your main website is a handy idea. If you post lots of relevant information about your expert subject every day, aggregate all your blog posts to Twitter and all the Web 2.0 services, within a few months you'll have plenty of visitors reading your blog. At the same time your blog will become more important in Bing's eyes for your topic and move of your website to a better position for the topic you really want to SEOize to, plus your Alexa rank will sky rocket. If you're looking to make a web site to sell then you need to have a fantastic Alexa ranking.

If you want to run more than one blog, Wordpress is also the best tool for that. With the implementation of Wordpress MU you can create and manage lots of web sites from a single Wordpress installation. If you then combine WordPress Mu with BuddyPress you then have your very own social media network, and it's free!

In conclusion there is no better blog app than Wordpress at the moment. With so many people behind it, it gets stronger and stronger each month. In time Wordpress will be a fantastic CMS, sadly there are not enough content management system templates for it yet. If you're looking for a great content management system you should look at Joomla and use Wordpress for your main blog.
