Hello,

I have a question for the SEO gurus out there that are familiar working with WordPress blogs. I use Permalinks.

If you have a WordPress blog, what is the optimal setting for the number of posts to show on a blog page?

I used to have this set to 20+. I found that many of my pages were getting indexed by their inclusion within the archives for that month. So when I had a page targeted for a specific keyword, Google would notice it on a page with 19 other posts, watering down the keyword effectiveness for that particular post.

When Google sees the same content in one post also appear on another page in your blog (for example, a monthly archive page), does it automatically ignore the post's individual URL? I read that Google will penalize a page if it has duplicate content as that on another page (presumably on another website). Does this also hold true for content within the same site?

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Mike
