Why is wordpress so seo popular?
 

Why does google etc love wordpress so much?

Wouldnt a small simple blog script do, be just as liked as if it was with wordpress?

cause there are tons of free plugins and free themes that you can use, not everyone wants just simple blog. Wordpress is great as CMS not just as a blog script. And besides google loves it :)

That was the reason for his post. He want to know why. :)

It might be all the words.

Hard to ever know for SURE why google prefers something over another thing.

Rather than go into a bunch of guessing, I'd just say it is probably a better mindset to think that they dont automatically dislike them, rather than they automatically like them.

Could be as simple as well known easy navigation. Google always wants their user to get a quality experience, as defined by them.

I've always found it interesting that wordpress is more goog friendly than blogger, which google purchased years back.

SEO friendly, tons of automation possibilities, rss feed, etc straight out of the box.

Wordpress is pure win. I've used it to set up everything from normal blogs to dispensary websites, paysites, real estate listings, and so on

So no one really knows? I use wordpress myself so I know all the stuff it can, was just wondering what it really was, as you can set up any blog scripts to have the same functions as wordpress technically

WP is not more SE friendly as other blogging platforms. My blogs that are not on WP do better as WP.

This is THE answer. :2 cents:

Wordpress is most popular blog script,so it is normal to expect how sites powered with wordpress receive most traffic.

Blogger-based sites tend to be .blogger, where WP sites are often stand-alone, from what I see. I wonder if that's something to do with it?

google obviously trusts wordpress to provide content in a organized and user friendly fashion thus why they give wordpress sites more authority in the serps.

not really, there is no proof for that at all.

theres a whole thread full of proof right here son

you mean a thread of assumptions? Very scientific .... LOL

yeah bud i just don't feel like spending all day trying to prove my point to some fucking momo i don't give two squirts of piss about. go waste someone elses day i have work to do. :thumbsup

This makes a lot of sense too. More people use it, so just on pure math it's more likely.

yeah, tell me something new: why are u on gfy?
what's your problem?

Yeah ... more people live under communist rule and dictatorship than in democracy //// must be true democracy sucks .... math just adds numbers ... your words!

Nah, I think Google Favors Tubes way over WorpdPress based sites.

You can get outstanding results without WordPress its the same shit in googles eyes if you do it right and under stand how site architecture should be. WordPress is not magical instant ranking.

WordPress just makes it easier for non web developers and designers.

2cents...

never used it before

Don't worry. One day Google will randomly decide it doesn't like Wordpress anymore and and dump all the blogs back 50 pages.

Yea, sounds like some kind of washing machine
