Are Blogs Easier To Optimise Than Static Web Pages?

Over the years I have spent quite a lot of time and effort optimising different kinds of web sites and blog sites for completely different applications. And one of the biggest questions that I get asked all the time is what type of web site is the best for optimisation purposes a blog or a static site?

I have optimised both static sites and Wordpress blogs, and both types of website have their pro's and con's when it comes to web site promotion. Having the capability to control the website is one of the most vital aspects when it comes to seo, whether you are intending to promote a Wordpress blog or a static web site. Without control over the website makes things more demanding, you will not be in a position to make those fine adjustments to the on page factors that can make a massive difference to the way that Google and bing and the other major search engines work out your serp or search engine position.

Starting with blog sites, the search engines like Google and Yahoo love blogs, by nature a blog sites furnish the likes of Google with the up to date fresh content material and information that they love and long for. But you have to keep the site up to date with relevant information and that can be hard work at times. If you are considering about opting for a blog then choose Wordpress, why? Because its free and simple to operate even for an absolute beginner. Also, there are hundreds of extensions for Wordpress which are again entirely free of charge, which can be added to your website that will improve the search engine optimisation. Probably the greatest plug-in's that I suggest for Wordpress is the ultimate SEO plug-in, it has everything you need and more to allow you to make those all essential modifications to your pages and posts. Wordpress also has another built in feature that sends out a ping every time your website is up-dated, this very useful feature will get your articles indexed fast.

The only problem with Wordpress are the limitations on the design side of things, unless you are a competent programmer then you are basically stuck with the Wordpress theme design, apart from that Wordpress is a top option for anybody who wants to try their hand at a bit of internet promotion. There are various of blogging softwares out there but I have found most of them complicated or with fewer features than Wordpress.

Static web sites are my favourite when it comes to seo, I like static sites especially ones that I've developed myself, for the key reason that I can control every last part of the website. Each part of the web site has a role to play when it comes down to to search engine optimisation, the content material and images all have to be perfect along with the down load time. A static site can be tuned very easily to have a quick page load time something that can be challenging to do with a Wordpress website. Download times are rather crucial these days because Google and friends want to make the web a quicker place. I have had a lot of success over the years with static pages more than I have had with Wordpress blogs, but dont let this put you off Wordpress or any other sort of blog, there are tons of Wordpress web sites holding first page positions for various keywords spread all over the web.
