Wordpress Theme

Wordpress is an unbelievably powerful tool for the online business owner. If you already have a site, all you need to do is add a Wordpress blog to a directory on your domain.

For instance, if your site is at www.yoursite.com, you would simply install Wordpress into a directory like /blog/. The Wordpress blog will then be found at www.yoursite.com/blog/. You can use any directory name you want; ‘news’ and ‘updates’ are two other good choices.

Most hosts come with a cpanel account with fantistico. You can actually install Wordpress through fantistico with just a couple of clicks. It takes less than 5 minutes. The Wordpress backend is simple to navigate, so once you have it set up, it won’t take you long at all to become familiar with it. You’ll be able to make your first post within minutes.

Once you have your Wordpress blog set up, you can use it to funnel traffic to your sales page or even to other sites.

Just put a link to the page you’d like to send the traffic to on your blog. The sidebar and the header are excellent places for such a link. You can also add one to the bottom of your posts just to be sure people see it.

Adding a Wordpress blog to your site will help bring you quality traffic, get the search engine spiders coming back to you, and can be syndicated. Let’s talk a little about this last point; syndication.
