[thelist] SEO and Blogs - Internal or External?

[Paul Bennett]

+1 

Wordpress is easy to set up, and has tons of themes and plugins.

A lot of SEO concerns[1] can be addressed by installing some decent
plugins[2]

Wordpress have done a fantastic job of making a CMS that is darn
pleasant to use.

[1] I prefer to write for people first, rather than optimise for search
engines. I've just started a blog (with some content imported from
another one) and am getting > 90% of my traffic from social media
sources rather than search engine referrals. Write for people, post
links to relevant networks, get traffic, make it easy for people to
share = (more qualified) traffic. IMHO anyway.
