Using Multimedia on Your New Website / Blog
Popularity of Sites That Have Multimedia Components Have Skyrocketed
At this point in time, practically all Internet users are connected through high speed broadband connections, which have enough bandwidth to support streaming audio and video files.
This has caused the popularity of sites that have these multimedia components to skyrocket and should be considered by any new website owner.
Including multimedia in your website pages and blog postings is a great way to help keep your readers interested and continuing to visit your site.
As an example, look at almost any major newspaper:
..."they now offer not only a traditional print story (albeit, in an electronic form), but also provide links for photographs, videos and even audio."
This is just the way that traditional written news articles are heading and it is important to consider when you are trying to gain website traffic for your business.
Take Full Advantage of Your Audience's Desire to Connect with Your Posts
By using the multimedia plug-in for your WordPress blog, you can take full advantage of your audience's desire to connect with your posts.
Including an audio or video embedded into your blog posts can ensure that you are ahead of the curve of a traditional website blog that only includes text.
Plus, these multimedia links will ensure that your readers will stay on your site for a longer period of time, making it more likely that your site will generate advertising revenue, leads or sales... all directly proportionate to average time spent on site.
With the advent of low cost digital cameras with the capability to record still images, full motion video and audio clips --- not to mention the smart phone that will be in all our pockets over the coming years... creating original multimedia content for your blog is very simple.
It's just like the old saying "a picture is worth a thousand words" goes:
"...by embedding a photograph or video, you are providing your visitors with an experience that can not compare to a post that only contains a description. Instead of describing something, you can show it or allow them to hear it."
When you purchase our WordPress installation, multimedia support is already included.
You will not have to worry about installing another plug-in to post a picture, video or audio clip and can be certain that the files will be compatible to users on different browsers and operating systems.
Most importantly, it will keep your blog in line with what Internet users are expecting from a web site.
