Ppc Traffic To A Blog

Hi Erik,

You can just use the same Wordpress that comes with most hosting accounts and install it using Fantistico. I use shared hosting on HostGator.

This blog, for example, is on Hostgator and installed with a click or two using Fantastico. The theme is free – see the link at the bottom of the page. I’ve also paid for other themes from Brian Gardner (designer of this theme).

With other blogs I’ve had a template created – just a standard minisite template. Then I hired a guy through Rentacoder to do whatever he does to make it a Wordpress template for $35.

Here’s a tip, because the regular blog is not going to help you. I wouldn’t pay for traffic to this blog, for example.

I don’t want to share any of my sites publicly, but take a look at this one:

http://blog.worldwidebrands.com

I’ve started putting together pages that look similar to this. The normal header image area become larger and instead of wasting that space there’s a video with an optin – with relevant information falling at and below the fold. This has been working very well.

There’s a bit of a learning curve with Wordpress and so many options it can be overwhelming – but I’ll never build another site without it (unless something better comes along).
