WordPress Rankings ?
-
It looks for me that WordPress sites get to rank better for some reason ... I dont know wil you will agree with this one with me or not.
The question is... do they hold their rankings for the certain keyword with a time? or they lose them as fast as they get them?
Shouldn't be content rank the same across all platforms? Content is a content and it dosent matter how it's presented? is it the case with google?
For example: Create Wordpress site for only 3 products, provide good content for those 3 products... and sell them with some of shopping cart plugins (any recommendations on the plugin?)
Will I get rankings faster and keep them?

The only thing that possibly helps with Wordpress is that it does come with plugins that you have to install by the way that automatically updates your sitemap to Google. I know a sitemap is not any significant help in ranking but it prods Google to tell them "Hi look a new page" but again as the previous posters mention this is usually just a receny bump.
There are lots of other 'SEO' (deliberate italics here that make life easier for titles and descriptions. But as far as Googel cares your site is just text and if you make it attractive they will/may come back more often.

Absolutely not.

So does anyone believe that telling Google within the coding of the site that you are using the wordpress platform hurts your site for long term?

I think that what wordpress have to offers best is how quick your content get indexed with it. Correctly using the ping system it has built in I normally got any page I published indexed on Google before 24 hours after the publishing for new sites, and almost instantly with old sites, anyway, its nothing that you could get done by yourself but with considerable more work.
So basically i think it just automate some hard work process leaving you to do what really matters for SEO.

so what you saying content is a content... if it's good it ranks as it's deserves. Dosent matter how you present it.

Rankings in the long run will depend upon the quality, strength and optimization of your website.
Wordpress pages rank where they deserve in the long run. Don't expect magic from any content management system. Rankings are earned.

So eCommerce website shouldn't be based on wordpress because it wont rank good in search engines in a long run term...
seomoz.org probably runs on the custom software?

Google often gives new pages produced by any method a small boost in the rankings. Then those pages slip down to where they properly should rank.
I don't think that WordPress will be a magic bullet for product pages - if it was everybody would be using it. I would have millions of pages in the SERPs.
If you have a very strong blog (WordPress or other) that posts a stready stream of newsy content. Google will often give new posts a very surprising ranking for a very brief period of time - one to three days - then they fall down to where they deserve. I believe that this is some combination of fresh content from a trusted source in a SERP that is very time sensitive.

Is it Possible for an Internal Page to Rank for Various Terms Based ONLY on Blogging Anchor Text?
Hi everyone, Our company provides about 6 different services, each with a specific page on our website: 1. Accept ACH Payments (/accept_ach_payments.html) 2. Client Management & Billing Software (/customer_management.html) 3. Small Business Merchant Accounts (/small_business_merchant_account.html) etc etc Now, here's the question. One of our blogging strategies is to write content about how our online platform can help various types of businesses manage and grow their business. "5 Ways Fitness Business Can...." "How Law Firms Can Benefit...." etc In these blog posts, we don't specify our product, but we do link back into one of those main service pages, so I might link fitness management software to the Client Management & Billing Software (/customer_management.html) page as well as legal billing software to the same client management page Since there are so many different companies that could use our software, we don't want to include them on the Cl_i_ent Management & Billing Software page. That page is just about the benefits of the system and how it works as a great CRM. So....to make a long question short, are we able to rank the Client Management page for "fitness management software" and "legal billing software" if we don't use those terms on the "client management" page itself, and only use it as the anchor text when linking? Instead of making a separate page about how we can be used as a fitness management platform, we'd like our "client management" page to rank for various terms like "fitness management software" "legal billing software" "online church donation software" etc BUT, we don't want to bloat the client management page will all those other topics and content. Hope that makes sense, Patrick

Where in my wordpress admin panel do I add the .
Having read Rand's post about the canonical tag I very much wish to use it to advise Google that the duplicates created during archiving (due to the fact that the posts have multiple categories) are just copies. I understand the theory, but can't transfer it into practice! Could someone give me an idiots guide as to how to add the tag and to where. My site produces approx 10 - 20 blog posts per week. Each has at least 2-4 categories applied to it. They are archived each month, at which point I have a big jump in duplicates in my campaign panel. Help! C:\Users\Catherine\Desktop\me_small.gif

Duplicate Content on WordPress Blogs?
We are getting ready to add a WordPress blog to our established website. Our plans are to place it in a subfolder on our website to maximize rank. My question is...Do we need to utilize a Meta Robots WordPress plugin by Yoast or similar so that noindex,follow robots meta tags will prevent search engine indexing of search result pages, subpages and category archives? We want to avoid the dreaded Duplicate Content Error and penalty. Any other great SEO WordPress plugins? Thank you for your time. Brian
