Wordpress Blog
Matt Cutts the head of the Google’s Web spam team explained SEO techniques, Google index and Wordpress as blogging platform in an easy manner to understand for anyone. We can`t expect as he can break the Google`s principles and to show the exactly algorithm for PR calculation, but explained very well main points for each of these categories.
Keeping it simple
As always, Matt, er, cuts to the chase of ranking well in Google.
The answer: "Don't blog just to rank well in Google."
Blog because you love it.
Let WordPress take care of so-called on-page optimization, is great advice, as well.
You can't focus on writing honest, compelling content when you're worried about "optimizing the title, description, H1 tag, body copy, URL, anchor text, etc."
Just write and keep writing.
Wordpress
I agree Wordpress is a great blogging platform. So many things can be done with Wordpress with the right plugins.
Wordpress SEO
I thought Google was supposed to be smart enough to see past SEO...
Use "All in one SEO Pack"
I can recommend the "All in one seo Pack" plugin for Wordpress.
I takes care of the SEO.
Although as a CMS, sometimes
Although as a CMS, sometimes it would be nice for WordPress to do more and have more bells and whistles then some of the content management systems out there, WP is all in all a great blogging platform. It's really evolved over the years and I'm glad to see that being affirmed here.
WordPress rocks
WordPress rocks. It's almost SEO perfect out of the box. Years ago, when I first installed wordpress, I knew it's a CMS I'll stick around with for a long time :)
Whos Matt Cutts ?
Google is fooling itself to think search will continue to be important in terms of text, keywords etc I give it a year and people will not be typing in words to search for anything ;)
Wordpress is killer and all my do follow blogs enjoy great rankings and traffic thanks to Google. Oh well my friend it was good while it lasted.
WordPress
I definitely agree that WordPress is the best blogging platform available. Not only is it extremely SEO friendly, the plugins, themes and widgets make it ultra customizable. However, I've seen many people launch a WP blog without making any modifications and it's not so SEO friendly. So, labeling it as SEO friendly "out of the box" may be a misstatement. And if you are looking for fast crawling, add the xml sitemap generator.
This is why I love WordPress
It's good to know that a CMS like WordPress can be easy to use, easy to customize, and still be great for ranking. It doesn't need to be complicated to get it right.
Wordpress as a Blogging Platform
I think it's long been known that Wordpress is great for SEO but to hear that it does 80-90% of the work right out of the box just reinforces that view and is a testament to the quality of an open source blogging platform.
It's fair to say products like ExpressionEngine have plenty to bring to the table but the average website owner is able to run a small to medium size website from a single (and free) install of Wordpress without too much trouble.
I'm not 100% sold on it as an all round CMS but it is extremely flexible in the right hands and serves many website owners very well.
Great tips and information
Great tips and information about WordPress. We used to use blogger, but we've been slowly working on more off of wordpress. I now understand why wordpress totally dominates for seo. Under the hood of this CSM, it is tweaked for SEO. I guess the advice is whatever you are into, or your business is. Software developer to West Coast Vinyl window replacement technicians, your blog or regular website can be a wordpress.
Great Tips!
That's cool, there are actually some good nuggets of knowledge we can pick up and use from that. I'm happy to see this and read his stuff. The facts he released such as "Google crawls in decreasing order of PageRank" and recommends for boosing a blogger’s reputation are great... I can determine quite a few good conclusions about ranking with Google from these.
