Many people use Wordpress for helping with search engine optimization?

Why?

(1)  Straight “out-of-the-box” a Wordpress blog is very SEO friendly. The posting format creates pages with good looking header tags.  Adding widgets with things like recent posts, tags, etc., increases the number of clickable links with your keywords in them, so Google thinks your page is highly relevant for your keywords.

(2) Wordpress is very easy to make even more SEO optimized, with plugins and themes. In addition, you can go in and change the code if you want to even make changes yourself.   Wordpress pages are structured around php and css, and can be changed relatively easy.

(3) You can set it up so each post or page in your Wordpress blog has a very SEO-friendly URL. If you are targeting “easter egg hunt”, you can have the post URL set as http:/www.yoursite.com/easter-egg-hunt.  This helps a lot in getting high in the search engine rankings.

(4) Once you set up your WordPress blog the way you like it, it basically runs itself.  When you want to create a new topic or keyword friendly post, you just add a new post, and hit “publish” and it posts it for you.  You don’t need to know any html or create new webpages or anything else.
