I set up a review site last night for a product with WordPress. It is a simple 4 page site with some useful articles. Guess what this morning in my stats I saw 11 unique hits.! If I had done a static HTML site I am sure this would have taken about 2-3 weeks or more. Two keyword searches for the very specific product I was recommending. Now way HTML site can achieve this.
So if you are a small business owner and want some quick exposure online, some targeted traffic contact me and I can set up a wordpress site for a very reasonable cost. I will train you to update your site and teach you basic SEO functions.
From my experience Google love WordPress.
