I was wondering if Wordpress has some sort of spam blocker built in? I ask because I hate spam, it's the worst. My last site's comment section was full of spam and I hated it. I just want to make sure my wordpress site doesn't get spammed to oblivion.

When you decide to write a blog, what do you usually go for? Also, is it easy for you to come up with a new post idea? I've had hard times in the past, but I like to think I'm growing and am starting to get better at thinking of new ideas for blog posts. I know I have some cool ideas for my upcoming blog.

I noticed that to engage some people, it is cool to add some entertainment for the users to play with. I saw many sites with a video section, even a section for computer games/flash games. Who here has stuff like this on their site? I wonder if adding these features to a simple site, would help keep traffic at the site, what do you think?

I don't know a whole lot about working online, but I think it's now common knowledge that quality, original and interesting content will attract users. I know when I had my first site, as weak as it was, when I posted good stuff, people usually came, usually a small amount though.

Just be creative, have fun, and don't spam.

Okay, so I am going to be setting up my first wordpress site very soon here, what is the first thing I need to do? Set up the layout? Create a blog post? I'm sorry if these are dumb questions, but I'm new to this. I never used Wordpress and I haven't really done a whole lot on making sites and such. So please take it easy on me.

SEO is pretty simple to get into, but this SSEO is still pretty confusing to me. I still don't know fully what goes on with SSEO. I know it's more strategic, obviously, but how much more work is SSEO compared to SEO?

The atmosphere of the internet has changed a lot. Blogs are very popular these days, but what I was wondering was this. What is best, a blog attached to a site, like blog posts here but a general site overall? Or a blog by itself?

Between these two affiliate networks, which do you feel is the better one? Amazon is obviously for Amazon, while LinkShare is technically for Rakuten, which used to be buy.com. Has anyone here used LinkShare? I have been considering checking the service out and comparing it with Amazon, but I am not sure I want to jump into anything new right now.
