Is WordPress site more search engine friendly than a html website ?

We have tested this theory, and the difference is minuscule, especially if you have a powerful server with plenty of RAM.

I believe the other pro’s that WordPress offers in terms of ease of sitemap submission, search-engine friendly URL’s, ability to manage meta tags effortlessly, etc. outweigh any slight disadvantage that may exist in site load times.

FYI – some of the biggest publishing sites in the world now are on WP and often get their content ranked instantaneously.

it depends on WP configurations and installed plugins. if done properly, wordpress can be powerful and beneficial. if done incorrectly, it can shoot you dead in the water …

More plugins you have – the greater potential to really slow down your sites.

Some of the plugins are not “programmed” correctly – and dont take advantage of wordpress framework and functions.

When installing and enabling plugins – don’t install two different plugins which do the same or almost the same job, this just increases the number of transactions made to the database, and therefore slows down your site.

Google seems to love WordPress sites. I only found this out after I made all of my websites with HTML lol I have one non-gambling WordPress site that ranks pretty easily. I think overall WordPress is better. I think its amazing how Google can index WordPress pages instantly! This would definitely be a big SEO advantage to anyone with a high content site.

It’s not really instantly.. but within a week you will get your WP blog listed in Google.

Saying that, I have some WP domains which will get into Google pretty rapidly and then disappear down the list quickly unless you keep updating it and keep up your link building strategies.

Some other domains take longer to get into Google as well. For me I figure 2-3 weeks is the max you should wait for your domain to appear in google.

Sorry, actually it does index some new WordPress posts instantly ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” /> I was at my brothers house, and I did not believe this until I saw it with my own eyes. He said that he has a plugin that pings Google whenever a new post is created. I did not believe him, so he gave me a demonstration. He created a new page in front of me with a unique title, then he published it on his WordPress blog. Within about a minute or so, it was cached in Google when we searched for it. Pretty insane stuff! I think it also had something to do with the blog being PR 4 and having a lot of links too ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />

Positive side has it all ! I love to use WP ! Google loves, too. ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” />

If you do not make it to much loaded with unnecessary plugins it is an awesome application. Thanks for the contribution

WP makes Google reach and crawl your site easy but the more and far most important thing is keeping the blog or website LIVE ! I mean frequently updated with info but valuable information. And Google also cares for sementics (if i had written it wrong please accept my apologies) i mean the grammar and the composition as a whole. We can consider the latest algorithm of Google as “Artificial Intelligence”. Google likes to think like our tricky brains ! ” title=”” class=”bbcode_smiley” /> Thanks a lot for the valuable contributions everybody
