In general, the strength of wordpress blogs for SEO is the ability to create huge networks filled with keyword specific content in no time. Wildcard subdomains (or even automated domain registration, .info's are cheap), wpmassinstaller, feeds and the tools to rewrite them, good keyword lists and analysis tools. I personally don't care for terms like "free porn", it's not about trophy terms, it's about ranking well for thousands of long tails terms with low competition, but the numbers add up. 100 hits from 2k searchterms a day is better than 200k from one. Why ? Because long tail keyword traffic is more targetted. With the right plugins and tools, wordpress is a very powerful CMS.

A general misconception in SEO is that people think they need to go for trophy terms to make loads of money. Why fight for a single term many people go for if there is so much $$$ just waiting to be picked up the easy way ?
