OK, Google Gives Love to Wordpress Sites...So How Do They Know?

Allen Graves · 12-26-2008, 10:48 AM

Do they see footprints?

Do they simply give extra love because of the frequent updates?

Do they send live people to the sites?

Just throwing this up for discussion. Why and How do they give their love to Wordpress sites?

Respectfully,
Allen Graves

Here is the link to Google blog search. Google Blog Search

Once a blog starts pinging and posting rss updates the search engines
are on it and it will show results to people using blogsearch.

The rss aggregaters are also linking back to it from some heavy pr
sites, and this happens quickly.

Do they really? I don't think so personally...

My reasoning(just my opinion and for discussion):

If you setup a wordpress site and don't add content, build links and do the normal SEO stuff you will not be that far ahead of a static site of the same nature.

If you do all the normal SEO stuff to a wordpress blog and add in the built in advantages a word press blog has over a static site. Trackbacks, pinging, comments, easily to frequently update etc.. Then you start to see some advantages.

I really don't think Google favors wordpress because it is wordpress.

I agree with Derrick.

It's not because of "wordpress" technology.

I think primarily it is the "community".

Once a blog owner starts to visit to other related blogs and be part of the community, Google sees the relevance to each blog content.

People are starts to talk to each one through blog, thus helps google to connect the dots.

Its so happen that wordpress is the best blog platform out there.

it's definitely the fresh content. you can have a WP blog and not update it, and you're not going to get much google love

Swastik · 12-26-2008, 01:05 PM

To-the-point replies have already been posted.

Google doesn't love "Wordpress", it loves the "fresh content" added. Plus with the pingbacks, RSS aggregators as already mentioned are an advantage.

Devan Koshal · 12-26-2008, 01:08 PM

Fresh Content
Easy for spiders to navigate
Its built using DIV & CSS google so good text to code ratio + google hates tables.

Arine Mark · 12-26-2008, 01:12 PM

I vote for ping (notify update), trackback and rss aggregators.

Derrick,

Check out the number 3 Google SERP here:

vintage electric guitar - Google Search=

It's been Top 10 for the last 4+ months...it's actually risen 5 places since I first saw it.

No content...whatsoever, let alone regular, original content.

Default Kubrick theme. Out of the box, as it were.

My guess is that Google's algo ranks WP sites a little higher than others...

blog and ping, that's the key!

Each time you post something it pings whatever sites/ping services out there and gets all the spiders and google coming to you for indexing.

Jared Alberghini · 12-26-2008, 07:44 PM

Allen,

It's not entirely about 'fresh' content, but more about 'relevant' content. You see, big G loves relevant content just as much (if not more) as fresh content.

The beauty of Wordpress, (and any other CMS or Blog Systems for that matter) is the simple fact that it is automatically organized by categories and tag clouds that have anchor keywords that link to relevant text, also, with the right settings/plugins/ you can have each of your posts link to 'relevant' posts.

It's just organized better and the g-bots can decipher the content of a CMS much better than a static html site (unless you take the time to create relevant categories/tag clouds/relevant posts, etc in your static html site... which would take forever and a day to keep up manually).

Just think like a robot and you will see the clear answers to your questions

I love it .. Allen Attempts To Pick Apart Google ..lol

I can promise you that it has nothing to do with WordPress coding, you actually can do the same exact thing with any website. Provided that you build the same tools that wordpress uses (ie: The plugins).

Ping and Blog as some have said is only part of the deal.. You must also look into seo, friendly url's, unique fresh content, and etc... If my blog is about adopting pets then all post should be about the same thing adopting pets, which is the same as Jared just mentioned above.

Many factors come into play here but bottom line it has nothing to do with wordpress itself..

Wordpress got an automatic ping feature which helps on getting the site indexed more.
