Should I add a blog to my website - would it help with SEO or not?

    Hi there,

    I've got a website which provides information on how to bet on the Internet, specifically arbitrage betting and matched betting.
    I was thinking that by adding a wordpress blog to the site I might help SEO. However as the site is already just a static html site with information (a few articles), would a blog help or hinder it?

    I realise that blogs help if its a business site where maybe you're selling things but would it actually help in this situation or would it just confuse Google?

    If I added the blog I wouldn't know whether to add articles to the blog or to add them to the main site.


    Any advice much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Yes blog helps a lot and grow your business. But for this you have to update your blog regulalry with good articles. Use proper heading for your article and put keywords in the content and link them to your site. Also share your blog news on social sites .

    Anyone know if I should add a blog or just convert my whole site to a blog instead?

    Hello,
    If your site isn't that big than move it to WordPress. It is user-friendly, has a lot of extensions so you can easily blog and sell online. And Google really likes WordPress based sites. It will be a good step for your SEO.

    Well it is not highly recommended but doing so certainly add more value to your website.
    Blog can attract more visitors to your website.
