WordPress Rankings ?

[DiamondJewelryEmpire]

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.
