POPULARITY OF BLOG PLATFORMS & CMS ON THE
RISE
The Perfect Companion To Social Media, More
People Are Tuning In
Wordpress.org, providers of the most used blogging platform
in Technorati's Top100, recently released new statistical data showing a huge increase in blog publishing,
the number of blogs registered, and the number of people reading blogs every day. Because of this, and the
distinct technological advantages and flexibility of the platform, more and more Internet marketers are
utilizing Wordpress as the base Content Management System for their business.
WordPress is the most popular blogging platform & is use
by 22% of top 10 million websites and this number is increasing ever-passing day. 71% of these blogs are
written in English, with the 29% published in 19 other languages. With more than half a million posts made to
WordPress blogs on a daily basis, and around 400,000 comments made by the blogs’ readers, is it any wonder
that blogging has become a major pass time for Internet Users? Furthermore, the incidence of blog
platform-based CMS in websites is steadily on the rise.
When asked how many people follow all these blogs,
William Carter, blogging expert from Affiliatemarketbuzz.com said, "It's difficult to answer that question accurately,
but certainly we are talking about many hundreds of millions of people, maybe 500 or 600 million total. If
you include non-English blogs, we can easily assume a number well above a billion people, perhaps even more
than 2 billion -- or about 1 out of every 3 human beings on the planet. I know the numbers are
astounding!"
"Therefore, it should go without saying that an active CMS
site is absolutely VITAL to establishing a strong web presence for your company
or brands, because this allows you to regularly share “fresh” content, the kind that has become key to solid
search engine (SEO) rankings from Google, Yahoo, Bing, Ask.com and every other major engine whose web
crawlers are constantly seeking out and indexing new content. Gone are the days when we used to just write a
post and include some AdSense ads in our blogs to earn a few cents... Today's web users are waking up to the
fact that utilizing blog platforms as the CMS for their business, whether they're service industry or
membership sites, is a definitive trend for small business and corporate companies generating millions of
dollars."
"These programs are also a great source of fodder to utilize
in those all-important Social Media Accounts, like Facebook Fan Pages, Twitter and LinkedIn feeds, YouTube,
and other niche networks like MySpace or various social bookmarking platforms. Because many social media
accounts are character-limited, long form information is best shared via a blog first, then social media
next."
Wordpress are expecting the number of blog accounts
registered, publishers and users to continually increase in the coming years, with an increasingly large
number of businesses implementing CMS into the structure of their business for greater
reward.
