The advantages of adding a blog like WordPress are endless
One way to increase your keyword ranking is to ensure your site is kept as up to date as possible. Google favours news websites and regularly updated, unique, relevant content. The easiest and most effective way to do this is by installing and maintaining a blog. By adding a blog, this shows Google straight away that you are planning to update this regularly. Google is like a user, the robots crawl your site on a regular basis but if they see the same content they get bored and come back less often giving other sites the chance to move above you in the listings.
