Wordpress Blog( The Best Web Hosting Service )- There has been a lot of talk lately about WordPress and whether it makes a good CMS (Content Management System).  The simple answer is are you kidding me it is great for a CMS.  Before get in all SEO on you I just want to say it is so very good for content management and above all other things is really easy to install on using, your cPanel.  For me, I use Hostgator which comes with “Fantastico De Luxe” or just Fantastico as most people call it.  However, Hostgator is not the only hosting provider that uses this; there are a lot of others that do, as well.

Sorry, didn’t mean to drift to far away from the subject but WordPress is great for your content management system.  First of all you easily create a network of pages and link them together on the sidebar, header, or footer.  This helps because when you do have a lot of pages linked together that are on Google you will get extra love in the SERPS eyes.  So for me and a lot of other people I always use WordPress for my sites.

Not to mention a successful site really does need a blog.  In my opinion (and I am sure many others will agree) WordPress is simply the top dog.  Above and beyond all things this blog “WordPress” does come with all kind of gadgets that you can install to make a good CMS.  What do I mean?  Well for starters there are so many widgets and plugins that you can install on WordPress it is not even funny.  Two of my favorite plugins “All in one SEO” and “Meta SEO pack”.  I could go on and on about all the plugins.

What is even better is WordPress is 100% free.  Also, you should install it on your site and not use their WordPress.com site to host your blogs.  The reason you should host with your domain is because when you host them with one hosted by the company you do NOT own it.  You do want to own your blog right?  They could shut it down for no reason at all.

Searches Love WordPress

I don’t know about you but I have found that it is so much easier to get pages ranked in Google with a blog.  This is because they are always being updated with fresh content.  Also WordPress provides a platform for structured content, which Google loves.  As a side note you should alway adjust your Permalink Settings so that they show your post name rather than a generic blog entry 123.  If all this goes over your head I would recommend that you read this blog post on Content Managements Systems.  Also, one thing that is getting more popular in today’s world is cheap website templates that you can install on WordPress.

So I am sure I left some stuff out on WordPress and why it is great for CMS. What other elements do you feel help it with content management?  Also, what plugins do you guys/girls recommend to improve your CMS?
