Christian Nielsen's Blog

We launched a new blog last year and with a modest amount of effort it has become one of the most popular sites for people looking for information on web hosting[Not true!]. As the attached screenshot shows, the traffic has increased every month site the site was launched[That's true]. A Hosting Guide offers information and news on web hosting and domain names. It's actually 4 blogs in one and that may account for some of how well it has done. The blog has attracted more than it's share of spam comments, but you will see that we have approved many of them since they are so funny.

We are quite pleased with our choice of b2evolution as a blog platform. It has worked really well for the most part and they have done many things that make using and managing the blog or blogs pretty easy. The fact that it does so well with generating traffic is a huge plus. And this was done without much optimization. You can specify what keywords will be used in a post filename if you want, but we have not bothered with that much. And of course you can edit the meta tags but we have been a little lazy and worried more about getting content published and not SEO.

From my perspective, b2evolution could become very, very popular if more people knew about it. I would say it is not as newbie friendly as WordPress is and certainly does not have as many plugins and templates. But what it has is really good and I prefer it to WP.
