Is there any different between WordPress pages and posts for SEO?

I have heard that some bloggers have say that WordPress posts are better than WordPress pages for SEO. Is that true?

      I've noticed that blog posts rank very quickly compared blog pages. However, over time the pages do just as well... they just don't seem to get picked up by the search engines as quickly.

      Hope this helps

  • Onlineblogger2,

    From the standpoint of search engines, it does not matter whether your blog is set up as posts or pages. Search engine spiders crawl URL’s links and content and it makes no difference what so ever how those are configured as long as spiders can access all parts of your site.

    This video post gives some good info on the subject,

    Wow Dawna - my experience has been polar opposite. Pages (properly optimized of course) rank much quicker and moreover, I've noticed Pages stay indexed longer. (For me anyway).

    The way I utilize these tools is posts are educational messaging meant to lead visitors to pages where 'offers' are stored.

    There are several differences but one bears mentioning more than the others. Whenever you go deeper than 1 permalink (page title and url or 'category and parent category') - pages show these to webmasters once published while on posts, they are only visible to BOTS.

    Another that should be known is posts use 'parent categories' while pages use 'parent page'. both serve the same ends from a 'seo bread crumb trail' perspective.

    post means "the latest update of content".. based on my history, I think posts work very well in ranking, but with good categorization. =)

    hope it helps

    On the one hand...

    posts have more internal links pointing to them - tags, categories, author archives, date archives.

    On the other hand, of you do not have excerpts enabled, all these are duplicate versions of the original content, which I suppose Google does not really rave about.

    Additionally, it depends on how regularly you update - if you don't update frequently, pages will probably do better.
