CGF needed to post on one of the most important and powerful resources that will separate your website from most competitors in the fishing our outdoor Community. If you are new to WordPress (WP) and looking for reasons to use WordPress as  in your new website, let me give you some besides being free and incredibly simple to use.

Open Source Software

WordPress is an Open Source software which allows it to be used free of cost. You can use it on any kind of personal or commercial website without have to pay a single dime for it. It is built on PHP/MySQL (which is again Open Source) and licensed under GPL.

User Friendly

You don’t really have to be experienced to use WordPress on your website. Nowadays most of the hosting companies provide the ability to install WordPress on your site at a single click of the mouse. The administration section is easy to navigate and its even easy to add articles/content to your website.

Themes Support

You will never run short of templates when using WordPress. If you don’t like the themes that come with the default installation of WordPress, you can hunt on the Internet and you will find thousands of free themes that you can download and use for your website. There are themes which can even make your website look like a regular site instead of a blog. Or you can simply build your own.

Plugins Extend Functionality

WordPress plugins allow you to do just about anything that you want and can be installed in a jiffy. For example, you want to paginate your blog posts, just look on Google and you can easily find the relevant plugin that will easily do the job for you.

Standards Compliant

WordPress is one software that follows all the Web Standards and keeps your blog or website compliant to all the rules that have to be followed when running a website.

SEO Friendly

Search Engines have to be definitely kept in mind when building a website. WordPress uses different functions which allow it to be search engine friendly. For example sending pings to other sites, making categories, tagging your posts, use of h1/h2 tags etc. Plus the free plug-in All-One-SEO makes search engine marketing a breeze.

Large community Support

As per recent statistics, WordPress is used on more than 1% of the websites on the Internet in the world. There is a large user community backing the development of this software. So, whenever you face any problems, you can go through all the available WordPress forums and communities and find answers for all your questions. It is simply the easiest way to launch or drive traffic to your website. This software completely evens the playing field for novice webmaster to take-on professional Outdoor websites. Matter of fact, most professional webmaster are very familiar with WordPress. IMO, the most valuable reason (besides being free) to use WP is once setup your site will completely run on it’s own including all SEO functions. This alone is worth building or changing your website for.

Plug

CGF does offer our members a full WordPress install with all the services/plugins mention plus consulting for $99. Depending on the website we also offer free lifetime hosting. It’s just easier and more effective to get you setup correctly from the start. We only accept websites in the outdoor community.

It’s all About the Backlinks:

CGF ran across Peter, the owner of  The Link Juicer due to his reputation for delivering quality backlinks. It should be evident by now if you are a webmaster the true power of backlinks. It doesn’t matter what niche you are in or what form of content results you are after – without traffic you will starve. You can waste your time courting social bookmark traffic only to find out that other webmaster/blogger will not spend a dime on your site, use your affiliate links, or click your ads. Or, you can target search engine traffic right from the get go and find out how well targeted traffic converts compared to other forms of traffic. Obviously, ranking on top of the search engines will send you a continuous flow of people who are actually looking for what you have. The problem is that most outdoor site owners are unable to get quality backlinks needed to rank well in the search engines in the first place. Why?

In most cases you are targeting keywords or phrases that are too competitive for your resources. Many webmasters are targeting keywords that are dominated by professional outdoor marketing Companies and this means that while you are busy getting links from articles and do-follow blogs etc, the big guns are busy buying the types of links that do the most good. This doesn’t mean you are doomed, but leaves you a couple choices. You must either reach deep in your pockets or have a better strategy. I am not trying to dissuade anyone – just trying to keep things real.

You can spend the next six months trying to figure out how to build a link wheel or you can hire Peters service. CGF has done both, and compared the results and it’s far easier and way more cost effective and saves a lot of time just to pay for his well established service – it truly is. Matter of fact, we abandoned our own link wheel and stuck with The Link Juicer.

Peter’s service is very simple to use and you can set how many backlinks you want daily. The Link Juicer also has a strategy section and CGF highly suggests you read it and FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS because it’s easy to get traffic greedy. The main reason we suggest this The Link Juicer is because once set up it produces remarkable results on its own. Finally, you are allowed multiple websites/blogs in your (CGF members) account for $37 a month.

The Link Juicer is a simple solution to a very difficult problem
