Adding a blog to my static website

[Suzane]

I have a static website, but now I am thinking to add a blog to it. I have read about the importance of having a blog and therefore I wanted to know if this blog would be functional in terms of getting more traffic to my website. I am planning to add a blog tab on my static website where a WordPress blog can be linked with a different url. I wanted to know if this step would actually bring traffic to my website, or it will just get traffic to the blog?

That's fine and is always recommended to have a blog attached to your website. (Unique andfresh content blog)
Traffic to your blog is traffic to your website provided you have linked them with each other.

A blog with good content will definitely help you to attract visitors on your website. If you have good content on your blog and visitors land on it by some or the other way, they will definitely visit your website to check the products or services you offer which will increase the traffic on your website.

we feel Word press is a good one to use and as the other members have said, as long as you link your blog to your website then traffic is going to your website. As long as the articles or blogs are interesting then people will want to view them and then possibly look around your site.

In comparison to the static portfolio, a blog is beneficial from search engine point of view because it showcases fresh content once in a while. With an active blog, you gain more indexed pages with a wider keyword range. Moreover by having a blog you can also provide answers for the frequently asked questions, through which people will only have to refer to your blog in case they have common questions.

Its better to add blog on static website. 100% static website seems to be dead. So adding blog is actually better. If blog get related traffic, you can convert on your static page. If blog will not get traffic, you will lose nothing. If visitor from your static website goes to blog then also you will lose nothing.
