I am a new to affiliate marketing and want to know what your thoughts are on having Wordpress do Blogs for me to get started?

if you mean wordpress.com blogs dont waste your time. they dont like any kind of marketing on their blogs. if you mean a self hosted wordpress blog, I have 15 of them myself, and are my main source of income.

Carol,

jm is right........I only use Wordpress to host my marketing sites and wouldn't have it any other way. Simple to install, a buzzillion themes to choose from and plug ins that can allow you to do almost anything on your site, Wordpress sites work great for SEO and is perfect for the non technical internet marketer.

Yes you can use wordpress for start blogging but blogspot is also useful for that.

I dont recommend any of the free blogs for business unless you like to be shut down with no warning the next time they change the rules.

A lot of affiliates hav had their blogger blogs worpress blogs, squidoo account, hubpage, and all the other freebie sites shut down. Using them purely for commercial purposes is against most of their TOS
