Creating Web 2.0 Sites With Static
Blogging
I have to admit I'm pretty excited about what I'm going to
share with you today and I hope it excites you just as much as
it does me.
You've probably heard the term 'Web 2.0', or maybe you're a
little tired of hearing it by now. If you're not familiar
with it, Web 2.0 is where the web has evolved and improved over
time and now offers better and more up to date services like
blogs, wiki's, social networking sites, etc.
What's even more interesting is that most sites out there
today don't use Web 2.0, they're still plugging along at
1.0. The cool thing for everyone else is that it
wouldn't take much to knock those sites down a few notches and
claim the top rankings for yourself!
Even if you have a top ranking site, if it's outdated in
design and interactivity you could stand to do much
better. A few minimal changes and updates could make
owning a website so MUCH easier and put you light years ahead
of your competition -- we all need some of that!
My excitement came when I began to think about the better
rankings I can achieve, getting visitors to stay on my site
longer, more visitor interaction, less maintenance and
easy up-to-date content , not to mention the additional
benefits of getting indexed sooner, the benefits of "tags",
getting submitted to blog directories, and search engines
faster, using social networking and the benefits just go
on.
You don't have to be a genius to see that there are tons of
marketing niches that aren't utilizing any of that
technology.
That's means *BIG* opportunity for you!
So, needless to say that's my goal for the next few weeks
and, by the way, I found the perfect way to do it.
I'm using something called "Staticblogging"
Staticblogging will create what looks like a static
(regular) website... but is actually "Web 2.0" and powered by
WordPress.
Now I'm not just talking about ordinary blogs, I'm talking
about static blogging. It's using Wordpress to create a
regular website (a static website, not a blog). I'm using
Wordpress instead of static web pages so that I can create a
Wordpress makeover that looks as much like a regular "website"
as possible with all the features and extraordinary benefits of
a "blog".
In case you're wondering why you would want to use Wordpress
to create and manage your websites instead of static HTML web
pages, here's a few excellent reasons:
- Lots of visitor Interaction (search engine food)
- Hands off mailing list management
- RSS options
- Automatic internal link structure (more SE food)
- Easily integrate Affiliate Datafeeds
- Easy Site/Content Management (save you time)
...and getting there is a breeze with "Staticblogging"
StaticBlogging is a step-by-step course that holds you by
the hand and takes you through the whole process of building
your Wordpress static blog.
There's over 4 hours of video tutorials or if you prefer the
PDF version you get that too. Even if you're an expert at
Wordpress you'll love this, but if you're a beginner there are
beginner basics that hold you by the hand every step of the
way.
Not only does Staticblogging offer a complete step-by-step
video and PDF course, it comes with additional Wordpress
plugins which includes things like Google sitemap generator
(very handy), Adsense plugins, Form creator plugins and many
more. It also includes several additional site themes to
choose from.
...and all of this can be done even if you've never,
ever built a site before.
There's even a PDF that will teach you how to create a
header graphic on your own. I've always wanted to find
something to help me with headers ...and now I have it.
I encourage you to Check out Static
Blogging. There's no
easier way to create Web 2.0 sites. Think of this as
your way of getting a leg up on the completion for the new
year -- and the really awesome thing is ... it's EASY!
