I like how matt uses wordpress for his own blog. If he uses wordpress due to SEO issues then we should all use WP.

Cheers for that. It’s interesting how Matt uses WordPress for his own, well ranked, blog. As people have pointed out, he could have used blogger!

Thanks again,

SEO Alchemist

@Stephen

Sadly this is one of the main drawbacks of WordPress on IIS. However, it still works great with search engines.

I’m Very Impressed with Matt Cutts and his public speaking abilities.

Great post. You can also get indexed in google within 24 hours by submitting press releases to high PR rand news media websites. It even works in hours sometimes and you don’t have to wait a whole day. There is a trick to it, though. You have to use a niche keyword or keyphrase in the Press Release title and not one of those broad competitive keyword phrases. After you have submitted your press release, use the press release link and submit to digg, propeller, dropjack, and other similar bookmark websites. http://www.trafficsourcegenerator.com will provide more information.

Google is really making an effort to promote small business web platforms, such as WordPress and Joomla. It makes sense from a business perspective: the more small businesses can easily get on the web, the more content it gets to index.

And with Adwords having being so easy to plug into these open source platforms, it should increase their advertising network. Hopefully they regain a bit more ground on placing ads in relevant places.

The great thing about Google’s support of these platforms in SEO terms, is that Google can actually integrate the ’structuring of content’ by this technology into its algorithms, like what they’ve done with blogger (A blogger account was fully SEO optimized out of the box, and from what I’ve been told this is partly because Google adjusted it’s algorithms when it came to Blogger sites).

Google’s dedication to open source platforms is great news for small publishers: now they don’t have to overly worry about SEO in technical terms, and can just focus on providing great content.

What a good news for all who want to have their blog. Matt has really raised an important issue regarding blog creation. Matt has some kind words for WordPress, specifically related to SEO and the canonical URL improvements that went into WordPress 2.3. Thanks for this important interview.

Nice interview, thanks for posting it. WordPress has a few unfortunate limitations unless you are willing to install and host each blog yourself. The advertising limits and javascript usage being banned on the hosted version can be quite limiting for most people. The format and quality of your content will normally outweigh any boost a platform offers which will probably be short term. Interesting most of the comments only touch on the first 20 seconds of the interview content…

I have to agree from personal experience - running our company website on WordPress not only got us indexed in google in no time when we launched, but it also get our news indexed within 1-2 hours after posting them. I dont really think this is just a WordPress feature but has more to do with RSS-support and the ping functionality that is built into it though.

Apart from that the All-in-one-SEO plugin together with WordPress’ standard URL rewrite options makes for a killer SEO-CMS for many websites - not just for blogs.

Good interview!
