Wordpress is one of the best platforms for launching a blog. There are several reasons why I say this. First of all, Wordpress is very customizable. It is also easy to change themes because of all the designers that create them. Wordpress also ranks well in Google compared to other webistes. Let me explain.

Wordpress has a feature as a blog platform. Its called a Ping. What the ping does is notifies all the services that collect data from blogs. The data is basically to let people who use these services know that there is fresh content on your blog. This is good as well because this gives you a link back from the ping service. Google also crawls these sites regularly. Meaning that it helps you to get indexed faster. Even Google has their own ping service which crawls your site when you let it know you have content.

This is why you get a boost every time you write a new post. Remember that Google loves fresh content, so every time you write a new post Google has something to add to its listings for your site. The more a site updates the more Google knows that you are active with that site, giving it the added benefit.

I have used Wordpress now for a couple years, and it is by far the best platform to use. It is easy customizable, and you can find plenty of people out there that will make you a cust theme if you need one. If you get hosting with a company that offers C Panel, you will find there is a simple tool to install Wordpress on your domain with about 3 clicks.

So what are you waiting for?
