Question About Wordpress Blog Pages and Posts

NLDesignStudio · 08-30-2009, 11:37 PM

In regards to SEO, is it better to use blog pages over posts or does it not matter.

I remember reading somewhere that the more "pages" your website has the better for SEO. So I am wondering if this applies to wordpress blogs as well.

Anyone?

They were referring to "web" pages, not pages or posts within Wordpress. Just create more content, as there are 6 billion people on this planet they all use different words to get there answers.

As far as the search engines are concerned, a Wordpress post is just an ordinary HTML page. The differences between the two in Wordpress is, pages are free standing pages of content and posts are written and stored in a series under a category.

When they are displayed in a browser, a page is a post is a page. The final output is just an HTML document that can be read by a browser or a search engine spider.

You would use a post if you're writing a series...such as a blog. You would use a page for landing pages, one off articles kept separate from your post category structure, about pages, contact us pages, and whatever else you would need a static page for that wouldn't fit under a blog scheme.
