But I’m probably in a very small minority of website builders these days as it seems everyone and his dog uses WP :bigsmile:
WP is a great SEO CMS straight out of the box and Google likes it. Much like vBulletin, Google likes that too. Hence it’s why you’ll find a lot of gaming affiliates using it. Plus, it’s now so much more than just a blog.
I started out hard coding everything on notepad, that was way back in 96. While like webzcas and others we can all develop sites on our own steam, I like so many others have chosen WP over the last few years to power all my sites.
JUst because I use WP doesn’t mean I don’t tweak under the hood. So either if your developing bespoke sites or use WP, Drupal etc etc, it’s a huge advatange knowing how to code.
Albeit the updates etc etc can be a drag but if your keep your plugins down to bare basics and ensure you protecting your back-side against script kiddies, then WP saves hours of work, time one can spend writing content etc etc.
I also think if your going to be a serious affiliate you also need to have decent hosting. At min a VPS or better yet your own server. Least this way you have far more control over things, besides knowing your not sharing an IP with a porn site and what not.
Just my 2 cents worth
