Few months ago, I was tasked to set up a website for a Community Centre Youth Group. For the ease of updating, I chose WordPress as the content management system engine for this website. And this was proven to be the right choice.
Everyday, there are new visitors found the website through search engines, like Yahoo! or Google. Do note that there are:
No submission to Social Bookmarking Sites
Or any additional effort used to drive traffic to this site.
On top of using WordPress as the engine behind the website, there are other contributing factors.
The main content for this website is to post upcoming courses and activities at the community centre. Links are provided to send readers to the main site for signing up these courses and activities. In fact, most of the content is copied from the course registration website.
