Hi guys,

I was just wondering if a large site with 80 pages is any more powerful in googles eyes than a site with 80 posts ?? Does it matter how you add your content ??

Cheers jim

    It's pretty much the same because those posts have individual pages as well. I had a .blogspot.com blog I ran as a fan blog for a video game I played (this was long before I knew anything about IM) and I would just posts lots of stuff about my adventures and discoveries etc. Within 2 months I was PR 4 (though I didn't know this at the time) and ranking #1 for a number of terms.

    As far as promoting CB products and the like, I set up one long page that has a review/opt in form... then I attach a blog so www.exampledomainname.org/additional-info.html where I post all of my articles so I'm gaining pages of content each day (with an opt-in form in the sidebar).

    I would also say it equates to the same in google's eyes. I've never found any difference between my sites with 20 pages and 20 posts in terms of overall rankings. Obviously the 20 posts sites usually look aesthetically better depending on what you are trying to achieve though obviously.

    I would agree that it's the same. A post technically is a page.

    Strictly technically speaking: they (posts and Pages) are both entries in the WP database system; just have a a column in the database where it is defined their type.

    The main difference: posts can be shown in so-called multipost view, i.e. on index, in archives (both monthly and category archives), tag pages etc. - and they also have the "single post view" = only one post with the comments and comment form.

    Pages do not have "multi-page" view. You always see only one single Page.

    As for the SEs both single post view and a Page are just the same: a web page on your site.

      In terms of wordpress, you post is available in multiple ways (main page, archives, categories, by date, by rss feed etc.

      Posting to wordpress also pings the blod directories which will get you more traffic then just Google alone.

      Wordpress support creating and managing pages as well.

        I'd say a Wordpress blog with 80 posts is more powerful than a standard HTML site in Google's eyes. Google like relevant content, and when you make a post your home page changes, the blog sends out pings, and it shows that your site is constantly updated.

        On the other hand an HTML site with 80 pages isn't as 'active' and will probably seem less relevant faster.
