WordPress.org is a platform (or tool if you like) on which you can very easily create a website. A blog is just another kind of website, except that it’s much easier to create and update.
TWO main kinds of platforms for creating your MLM blog are:
1) A “Server Side Web Based” application completely controlled by your Web host and by YOU. Examples of these are WordPress.org, MovableType, and TypePad.
2) A Web based application which is controlled by the web hosting community. Examples of these are Blogger, WordPress.com, Wetpaint, Mindsay and numerous others.
There are Seven Terrific Reasons to Use WordPress.org
Sidenote: I am going to post one reason a day, so I can expand fully on each reason. I started doing these and found there’s so much to write about, it’s going to turn into a HUMUNGOUS post:-)
REASON NUMBER 1: Google loves WordPress blogs
With just a little knowledge about keywords and search engine optimization, it’s VERY easy to get listed on Google for your keywords.
The best way to have google index your new WordPress blog, is to submit your blog’s RSS feed to some search engines. Don’t worry about what an RSS feed is, if you don’t know. You don’t need to know what everything means, you just need to know what to do with it.
So, after you create your blog and your first blog post:
- Type in the URL of your blog in the Address Bar of your Web browser (preferably Firefox).
- Once your blog is displayed, look to the right of where your URL is typed (see the Big Arrow in Figure 1 below) and you will see a little orange box. See Figure 1 below to find out where your orange box can be found. This little orange box will give you the RSS feed of your blog (see more directions below
Figure 1.
- Now that you’ve found the little orange box, click on it, and your RSS feed URL will be displayed in the Address bar on your browser.
- Copy that RSS Feed URL and Paste it into Notepad or your favorite Text Editor.
- Click here to go to Feedage.com and Submit your Blog’s RSS Feed URL you just copied into your Text Editor.
- Click here to go to Feedagg.com and Submit your Blog’s RSS Feed URL you just copied into your Text Editor.
The next day – after submitting your feed….
Look in Google’s index to see if your Blog is listed. To find your blog:
- Go to the Google Search Engine at Google.com
In the Search box, type in the following:
site:yourblogurl.com
See Figure 2. below for what to type into the Google Search Box
After clicking on the Google Search button, your Blog should be displayed in Google’s listing. If it’s NOT displayed come back here and leave a comment, along with the URL of your blog. I will have a look at your blog for you and let you know why I think it’s not listed.

Network Marketing in web = success. And Wordpress helps to do it
Wow, Julieanne, it’s AMAZING information! That’s what I was looking for! Actually I was gooing to make blog on Joomla, but after your post changed my mind. Does Google do not like Joomla as Wordpress?

Hi Andrew, I haven’t actually used Joomla, so can’t report it from personal experience. All I know is that wordpress gets indexed in google very quickly.
