Have you ever paid attention to how your WordPress posts perform in the SERPs compared to your pages?
I am often asked which is better for SEO, so I decided to create a video revealing my opinions and discussing what has worked best with my newest WordPress website.
I’d love to hear your stories too. I’ll see ya in the comments!
Hi, my name is 
Thanks for the video. i have 2 question about wordpress:
first, i think blog (like wordpress) get lower traffical than forum.
and second, there are so many spam in wordpress.
Well, forum is open for all people who care about anything and so, it has many topics to talk about. Unlike forum, each blog narrow focus on one or two topics so it got lower traffic than forum. But, I think a blog (build on WP) is easier to manage than forum and so, it will get lesser spam content (like comment) than forum.
Lisa, the video is exceptional. Its easy to understand and to apply the learning’s. Recommend strongly to future website starters to download the video and view it regularly to become more familiar with its workings.
You have made the tutorial very easy to understand by the way you explain and the language you use is non-technical.Well done on sharing this wonderful video and I can’t wait to view future tutorials.

Lisa,
WordPress is definitely better for seo. With my experience using wordpress and seo optimizing my articles I have been able to rank page of google first spot for some very competitive keywords, but most importantly I add high quality value in all my article post.
Lisa, my experience with this is all over the place.
Even though most of my top ranking urls are blog posts I do have a few pages that rank well also. There are a couple of posts that do well with very little internal linking and I think Google just latched on to them for some reason – although I have not been able to figure out why, because they don’t have a ton of external links either. Thanks for the video, it’s a great reminder that we always need to pop over to Google Analytics once in awhile to see what’s ranking well, and most of all, build those internal links to posts and pages.
Yeah, I have to remind myself to do that because it’s so easy to forget.
I spent a good hour last night doing this on my other blog.
from a logical “website structure” perspective, if one keeps in mind and applies what Google has said to date (Matt Cutts) about search engine optimization, then one would assume that pages would do better for several reasons:
1) keyword density
2) direct / exact match and
3) ease of use (user implications).
that said, in my experience, more than the structure of the URL itself, which is what we are really talking about here when we distinguish between blog posts and blog static pages, what truly determines the performance of the post or page purely from an SEO perspective is the keyword I am targeting.
Not everything I write on my blog is keyword focused, but for those articles that are, when I go back to evaluate how each one performs, whether a page or a post, it turns out that the results vary, but one thing is consistent throughout.
those posts or pages that are targeted for a high value keyword (high search demand and low supply or competition) are ones that perform the best.
this of course assumes that the URL contains the exact match keyword (in spite of a post’s URL further diluting the keyword density), and that the content of the post or page is optimized for the keyword (metas, headings, sub headings, links, anchor texts, etc)
So while in theory a static page is supposed to perform better from an SEO standpoint, it is the actual keyword being targeted that determines the organic performance of the page, at least in my experience.
Note that I am leaving link building initiatives out of the equation as I would not be able to do a fair comparison of the two if I factored in my internet marketing initiatives as those are heavily biased/weighted on one of the two URL structured we are discussing in this article/video.
I used the keywords in headlines and posts, linked oldest posts as coin words in blog posts. It is a slower process but still works!
by the way i use blogger
I have found that pages and posts can both rank equally well. I think the main thing is to use proper on site seo techniques. Static urls with keywords, H1 tags, keyword density, and links to those pages.
I prefer pages so that I can build my wordpress site more like a traditional website from a site structure standpoint. But I get equal traffic to both types of pages.
Absolutely love your videos on you tube which got me started reading your 2 Create website. I think you are the best out there with practical advice on building your own website.
However I really wish your video was more than 4:11 minutes. It is such a tease. I do not know what the technical difference between a 4 minute and 10 minute video is for you. I know you have more you can say on each topic.
Hope you will make longer video posts in the future or post twice as often. You are one of those I really look forward to seeing your video, and written articles. I have you on my google reader.
Thanks

I love these golden nuggets! Your information is so easy to digest especially for a newbie. As much as I like posts with 50 ways to do XYZ. I can take one idea and run with it. This is coming from a teacher.
Back to the topic. After doing this for a year, I do notice that I get more hits when I link within. It seems to point the reader in the right direction that they want to go in. I also agree that the keywords really hook people when I use them in my posts.
Thanks, Karen! Really appreciate your feedback.
I am very thankful to you & appreciate for this.
For me, on page optimization works miracles to start with. Sure links are great but on a blog that isn’t brand new, on page optimization with a link from navigation is like a recipe to PR 2, lol.
I have a bit more “static” content on the blog now and it is working great, using Premise for landing pages and for now, I am very satisfied.
So comparing pages to posts, although I have some great ranked posts, if I want to make something visible and rank it, I would go with a page with more “landing” feel than a regular post with comments turned on.
Hi Lisa
I’ve found that posts get ranked very quickly but pages take a little longer.
Good advice to keep faith with the basics including internal links.
I often forget about those internal links.
I use pages for things like, about us, contact, privacy and the homepage which I normally have as a static page. The rest will be posts. This has worked well for me with my wordpress blogs. BTW, your videos on the Thesis theme really helped me building one of by blogs
I’ve actually done better with blog posts ranking in Google and on occasion, I go back and edit old post and interlink them with new posts. This helps me rank well in Google..
I have a static page on my blog on how to create a website which is pretty well written that i link to every chance I get and it ranks 3rd in Google for it’s keyword.. I’m going to put a little more work into it though and see if I can snatch that #1 spot..
Seeing the kind of videos you shoot, I just got a lot of ideas for videos.. Thanks
When I first started out on wordpress my whole site was pretty much ‘static’ I rarely ever used posts… wow was I missing out. Posts seem to rank much better on serps in my opinion. They also seem especially good if you list your recent posts on your homepage as google seems to like dynamic content.
Hi Lisa,
quick question…I did a wordpress blog for my wedding. Since its just my wedding info can I still get affiliates and google adsense?
Hi Lisa,
Once again an awesome video!
I do mostly pages right now as the site I’m currently working on is pretty much a static site like you mentioned your hair one was. But I’m also experimenting with blogs and embedding links in there to other categories on my blog like you mention. I’m also testing out what amount of text ranks better. Meaning the number of words I’m using in a certain post. So I’ll keep you posted and let you know how that goes
Thank you once again Lisa as I love learning from your blog/site and also hearing what others have to say.
Don
That is great post and video. Actaully Static page is better for to put new articles and what is the important to create a page in static. About wordpress blog, as wee know google loved it. becuase wordpress blog is always indexed in search engine and I liked this part. But there is bad thing in wordpress which has more spams but I could not know how can I solve this spam
Ok, Hi Lisa, Nice video. I will break down what I do believe has worked for me, and how simple it is. I have a method that works well for both page and post and gets ranking pretty quickly. I agree 100% it is all about structure and NOT backlinks.
When I create a post/page, simply. I link to home page, to other posts/pages if possible, I also link out (wiki etc. or even better as I have noticed, to a .gov or .edu page which is related to your content) Even a youtube video at the end of the post/page, related to your subject drastically helps your content get ranked.
I also (only) post the page/post to facebook, twitter, Digg and stumleupon, and these backlinks are so strong they should be enough. I only made a post a couple of weeks a go http://therantingbeast.com/how-to-write-a-rictameter-poetry-form/ and it now already has page rank 2 and is second in all search engines below e-how.
Craftily linking in and out of the page/post, seems to be in favour with Google and the likes.
Thank You Lisa and Thank You Stephen for great explanation. Helped me a lot.
Sorry for the link in the post above, hope I am not breaking any of your rules
No it’s fine, Stephen. It was all relevant to the post and I appreciate the explanation.
Hi Lisa
Thank you for sharing your experiences on this matter. I think I will have to take a closer look on some of my static pages on my blog to see if I can do some optimization there. I have not been paying much attention to them lately.
I haven’t noticed any difference between my pages and posts as far as Search Rankings go. As long as I have done on-page and off-page SEO on both they both do about the same in the rankings.
You get an Amen from me, Lisa.
I was worried you were going to suggest that pages work better than posts (and I keep hearing that from people for some reason)…but the only difference for my own business is contingent on the WordPress theme I’m using.
Or if I’m using Blogger or whatever, the way the CMS/blogging platform (*since I only use blogs*) will handle the layout differently.
For example, on the Flexsqueeze theme – you have TONS of options for formatting a page layout as a squeeze page, video sales page, membership site download page, whatever…
Otherwise it’s going to format (on Flexsqueeze) as a blog page with your header, etc.
I’ve heard that too, James. Google could care less what the format of the page is as long as they can read it.
Lisa it would be hard for me to say, I agree with you pages and post are content, I do not believe Google cares. I bet a lot of people do not realize that their tags and categories are considered indexable by Google. If you go to you (webmaster tools) search queries you and click on a specific keyword. You should see a list of URLs, look at the url closely and you should see tag or category.
Very good points, Lisa.
On-page optimization is often ignored these days – mostly out of ignorance, but it does play a huge role; especially for better established sites.
I am sure you’ve ranked on your on-page signals alone before, Lisa, without any external backlinks; that just shows you the power of what’s entirely under our control!
Absolutely, Ana. Even my hair site that I don’t even do any backlink building for does fairly well just form organic search.
My posts definitely outrank my pages, never really given it much thought until I read your article but it’s definitely worth considering when creating new content or putting something new out there.
This is my opinion about pages and this is how I treat them on my blogs. Pages to me are my money pages. In affiliate marketing these would be the pages that I am referring traffic from. My post point to these pages to give them internal links. This tactic shots them up the serps. But the pages must also have significant external links.
Agree. Great analogy.
Interesting take on things Lisa. Have to tell you the truth, I’ve mainly used my pages for rules, storytelling, or to highlight a bunch of links on a specific topic. I’ve never even thought about whether I should apply SEO to them. Having said that, I have found that one or two pages on two of my blogs seems to generate some interest on search engines without the SEO, and I’m thinking that’s not such a bad thing.
In the end it all comes down to the content. If you’ve good content, you’re sure to gain great SERP’s. Have shitty content or use Blackhat, you can still gain the high position but sooner than later the site will get blacklisted.
For me, posts usually work with a short but descriptive permalink. But, I’d give static page’s a try too.
Thanks for the post!
Hey Lisa..
Great stuff as always! I love blogging. I can’t believe the things I have learned over the last year or two from your posts and videos..
Just read a few of your last posts and I can see you still are providing your readers with the best tips and experiences of everything you have learned over the years.
Thanks for all your hard work, and more important your focus on really helping other people out there.
Best of luck Lisa and keep doing what your doing!
Thank you! Appreciate your support.
I just found your site Lisa, fantastic tips. I recently migrated my blog from blogger to wordpress and I’m already seeing a difference in my search engine traffic – mostly for my posts rather than pages.
That’s awesome, bloggybots. Keep up the fantastic work!
Great youtube post, i think static web page perform well compare to dynamic one, keywords selection in posts play major role in SERPs result, as i have seen quality of content determines the traffic to your post.
once again thanks for valuable post!!!
Youtube thingy is really nice. Thanks for that.. If wordpress posts are published with full optimization and tags, they can fetch a good amount of traffic without SEO. And also, static pages perform better than the dynamic ones. Thanks a lot for sharing this post..
If you want a SEO friendly site then WordPress is what your need. WordPress is continuously adding features and providing plug-ins to make SEO tasks more effective.
I think wordpress is the best cms for SEO and we have to optimize posts or pages in our site based on wordpress.
WordPress should be SEO friendly!
And, we got PR 4 in our WordPress blogTechTeric! CHEERS!!
Hi Lisa.
That was really well explained.
Everyone goes link mad forgetting that all the pagerank in the world doesn’t mean that you will score for relevant keywords.
keywords have to be targeted and it all starts on page.
P.S. I’m not 100% sure but I’m fairly sure that it was you who actually got me into I.M a few years ago. Did you used to promote The Keyword Acadamy?
I’ll check the notify box and wait for your reply. I’m almost certain it was.
Hi Steve, nope never used or promoted that product.
Well Lisa, my apologies, I must be confusing you with someone else. Whoever it was, I’m grateful.
I find wordpress so easy to use and customise to how you want it to work. There are so many great plugins around to help with your SEO that I find I can get pages ranked highly very quickly.
You’re some of the few bloggers I’ve come across who has taken into vlogging now. Your presentation is quite nice along with useful info. Way to go Lisa.
I’m just finally getting into the blogging arena for my business even though I have been engaged as a blogger for other businesses.
I use WordPress quite extensively for my projects and love the ease of use it adds for my clients. I frequently use pages instead of posts, but am learning new ways to start using the posts as page content.
The only thing that I think makes a difference between a post and a page to the search engines is likely that posts typically tend to be more frequent that new page content. Ultimately when it comes down to it, they are the same (structure-wise).
I do agree that we need to be linking internally more and helping users find content that will be relevant to that current post or useful.
Thanks!
Nice detailed video and it solved some of my questions.Will have to take few steps now for my blog.
I have asked myself this question for a while, that was a great post, thank you Lisa.
Hi Lisa
I read something from Yoast once that said a page is better for ever green content like you said because it keeps its SEO rankings better than a post which is destroyed by the comments that are left. Plus if you use a page for great content whenever you add anything you can then write a blog post to say you have updated it and link to it. It is also easier to find than a blog post – especially once you have blogged for years.
I read that post Diane
He said that it was a good idea to turn your most successful posts into pages.
I remember thinking that what he said made a lot of sense.
Thanks for the reminder.
Not a problem Keith
I really love watching your videos. It’s straight to the point and really easy to understand. Like James, I was a bit worried about you mentioning that pages would be better than posts. But I like the fact that you stressed again the importance of SEO. Quite often, when there is a new technique that works well, lots of bloggers and website owners tend to join the bandwagon, completely forgetting about the basics like SEO. Your video is a great way to remind us never to forget something as basic as SEO when creating pages or blog posts.
Thanks Adeline!
I listened with interest to your very well presented video on WordPress Posts vs Pages and SEO. I agree with you it really depends on the way the website has been structured and optimized to favor either the posts or pages. Personally I prefer to use posts because I feel that WordPress is structured to favor posts.
My posts don’t rank well at all, but my pages rank great and hold rankings. Posts, if they do rank, only remain in the top of SERPs for a few days then slowly drop off.
I think that the ability to create pages or posts in WordPress was designed with approach you describe. All logical. And SEO optimization, from my point of view, is the same as for pages and for the posts.
Lisa I mostly use post in WordPress, but I do not have much of a problem getting ranked and I get ranked for keywords that I am not focusing on, Here is something some of you may be aware of but some may not be. Create an alert that people are more than likely searching for and write a post on that alert. Google will more than likely add you to their short list of searches ( about 5). The way this helps you is because the people that do that same alert will see your post and have it emailed to them. Just an idea, if you are not sure how this works ask me.
Cool idea ! I’ll try that one out and see if I can come up with some results ! Cheers !
While I was watching your video I was thinking 2 things, 1 that google wouldn’t care about pages or posts, content is content at the end of the day. The other was that pages are usualy linked to in the navigation structure of a site, hence the reason why they can sometimes seem to be more popular to google.
That being said I do have comment on one thing and I love the way how you comment on some of your comments, keeping the conversation going and thus adding more content for google to crawl. Very smart indeed and well done Lisa.
Good video Lisa. I like your emphasis on internal linking and not being obsessed with back links
Hi,
Lisa you have really put good forth a good debate. People are always looking at one thing only BACKLINKS BACKLINKS. SEO is a merger of both, you start from your own site and fix up glitches. I have given seo consultancy to some people and the first thing I tell them is What is your website structure ?
Your pages should be linked with proper anchor texts, same thing for posts, if they are not linked and follow a category structure where they are interlinked, BACKLINKS won’t do you any good.
Thanks and nice post.
Pages do better in SERPs, but I know that posts too can rank high with the right SEO and keyword optimization.
Hi Lisa,
Please Help me with my website. I am from London.
best wishes
Louisa
Hi Lisa, I run some weblogs with WordPress and I believe there is really no difference between posts and pages, if both are given identical treatment concerning architecture information, content and intenral and external links. Thanks for the post.
yes, I agree with you, Google doesn’t really care about if its a post or a page, what important to hem is how you will able to optimize that certain page, whether if comes from the wordpress or page. What matters most is how you optimize that certain page wisely.
thanks for sharing your thoughts about this, I like your blog btw. : )
So how tips for blogspot dude?
any one can help me?
or, any one have a reference site for that?
In my experience both are equally important, just serve different purpose. As far as ranking in SERP’s – it makes no difference if its a post or page – what matter is how well have you done your onpage optimization and link building
Thanks for the information Lisa.
I am curious to this one as well.
I use wordpress for a static history website. I do not use categories or tags in my permalinks. I put a great deal of time researching different keywords and variations of that keyword. In my experience posts perform better than pages. I don’t understand this because it doesn’t make any difference to google but here are two examples:
I have a page created that generally covers the American Revolutionary War. Within that page I target different variations of that keyword. I do not rank on Google for any of them. Google does not even notice them. It has been online for months and I link back to that page more that any of my other posts or pages.
I created a post that deals with George Washington and I was ranked on the third page of Google for 4 different keywords in less than a month. The competition is the same for each keyword, yet I cannot seem to rank with the American Revolutionary War page.
It doesn’t make any sense to me, but for my site it seems as if I rank quicker for posts.
Hi Lisa
Thanks for your informative and insightful tips.
You simply rocks…keep helping us.

Lisa,
I feel like finding your site (2 days ago) has sent me a gold mine. I am still digging for my treasures, but by implementing some of your tactics, I have already seen growth in my site.
Thanks again,
-askheatherg.net
I am a huge fan of wordpress blogs and you made some great points, thanks!
As for me, I actually found out that my PAges gets more link juice and Pagerank. But for ranking them, nothing big can be seen. If you build links on them with proper anchoring, they will rank no matter what.
Great vlog and thanks to everyone for all the great comments! I feel like I learned as much from the comments as I did from Lisa’s vlog!
I see my posts ranking higher than my pages, but the content of my posts is more informative and targeted, where my pages are more like website copy. Maybe that just means I need to work on optimizing my page content
Thanks for the great info!
Cheers!

hi, I am beginner for try earning some money from internet. any suggestion for beginner like me?
Well i want to ask something if i send any pint to website why it comes back to me??
Before I’ve ever choice betwwen blogger and WordPress. And I did with WordPress. I think wordpress is better for SEO than blogger. And WordPress has a lots plugins and themes for choice. I love it!
Lisa, Have a little question, WordPress is a cms as we can use it for our blogs but in india we are also using wordpress for static sites. so is it ok to use wordpress for a simple 5 pages website like home, about us, contact etc. ? will it help in the same way for seo as for a blog does ?
I enjoy using the WordPress! WordPress is really great for SEO! Thank you for your video!
I really want to understand more about wordpress! I am jealous for those people who knows wordpress very much!
WordPress is a great way to to build and maintain a blog as it’s always updating and becoming easier and easier to use. It’s also an awesome platform to delve into the blogosphere and connect with other bloggers.
Thanks Lisa for the great video!
Anthony
Post or Pages does not matter at all. It is anchor text and related links that point to that page/post that matter a lots.
I’ve been waiting for an invite to pinterest for five days and I was just wondering how long it usually takes for them to respond. Thanks!
Your article is blessing for me. Thanks for publishing such a great information,But… :
I think wordpress is the best cms for SEO and we have to optimize posts or pages in our site based on wordpress,because WordPress should be SEO friendly!
Great video! I love wordpress for seo and getting sites to rank quickly, I haven’t found much difference between post/pages though. I’ll have to check my stats in the next few weeks.
Cheers
Thanks for the video. This is very important for me. I am beginner for try earning some money from internet.
Great insight , SEO sometimes can be quite challenging but i do agree that wordpress helps!.
Thanks Lisa for the great video!
Thank you for a very interesting video. A very straight forward.
Thanks!
Great!
Fantastic tips.Your youtube video is a great way to remind us never to forget something as basic as SEO when creating pages or blog posts.
Thanks for sharing your video

Hi Lisa,
My site (http:// http://www.thebestbuyer.com )is quite young and so far I have found that posts that I make that link to the main article page rank higher with SEO than the main article (that has a lot more words). I think may be it is the inner link? I will try adding more internal links on my pages to boost their SEO.
Great Video by the way!
I try to build pages that have between 750 to 1500 words with the main keyword in the title. I then use blog posts in conjunction with an internal linking plugin to try and point to the pages I’m trying to rank. This works fairly well for the most part, but you never know what happens, and often times blog posts will outrank the pages…. go figure.
Nice video,
For example, I always youse special wp plugins for seo on m blog. I think it should help.)))
And ofcourse text optimization!
Very well Thanks For Sharing To us…
i think that content is the king …it’s more important than building backlinks…
I think its important to use both pages and posts tbh…if not for SEO but for user content experience and improving your bounce rate..
Hi Miss Lisa,
Thank you for posting the video, it is very much informative!!! It is very much helpful on your reader like us!!
Thanks for the video !
I’ve wondered which is better for a LONG time. I guess we’ll never know for sure, I think it’s good to try and match keywords on a combination of posts and pages.
I’m just learning how to use WordPress. I find it way better than blogger.
Great video tips .. I am still noob but learning
I am wondering about why some people say wordpress is not good for seo.The above tutorial is the proof this.Thanku you has written a nice post giving me a idea what i have to do for my next post for seo.
I think pages and posts don’t really differ in terms of SEO and ranking. It is solely dependent on good content, keyword density and link structure.
WordPress pages have worked great for me in the past, I think pages are valuable as well to search engines to increase traffic to your site.
I like your site, it’s full of great info, and you speak in a very non-techy kind of way that’s easy to understand. Great job!
I use WordPress exclusively, and themes and plugins, like the All In One SEO Pack, and I get decent results.
I have researched the Thesis and Genesis themes as well as Woo themes, and they are all great in their own respect, but I think I like the Woo themes the best for what I’m after.
As far as my experience goes with pages vs. posts and SEO, I think the pages last longer in the SERP’s, but the posts can get indexed quite quickly. Internal linking is the bomb!
The best tip I have is to “Just do it!”
GREAT SITE AND BLOG… you go girl!
I have a white hat site that i have set up with wordpress. The site looks nice and professional i am adding content every few days with the hope of it helping me move up the rankings in the search engines (along with other SEO).
My question is, does it make a difference to SEO if i add the new content to my wordpress site as a new page or a new post?
So far i have been adding the content as a new page.
It might seem like a silly question but does it make any difference if it is a new post or new page with regards SEO?
The most important thing in the SEO is the title of the page or the title of the post. Second most important thing will be the keywords and the tags used in it. So in order to rank high on the search engines it is very important to right keywords,tags and titles.
Thank you very much for your video. The new updates with google panda has really shaken up my rankings and I just had to know if posts or pages was a factor or if one ranked better than the other. After seeing your video, I am confident in your conclusion. It’s what I suspected and now I can move on to something else. Thanks again!
I have been searching for tutorials on optimising wordpress and found your post. First of all thanks a lot for sharing this Lisa and will be looking forward to be in touch with you regarding it with my silly queries to trouble you a bit.
SEO takes a great hit specially after post penguin updates. Seems over optimizing the pages for SEO could lead to deindexing and the most critical issue is how to determine the right SEO so for penguine updates.
I’ve always pondered that same SEO question! Pages vs. Posts on SERPs. My own observation was that pages do better than posts on SERPs. Thanks for the video.
During the time I was creating my blog, I viewed your video and decided to make the content that I want people to learn about into pages and design/blog related topics into blog posts. My blog is still new so I don’t have any reports to see how well this will work but I agree with you that there should be a balance.
Now I’m learning WordPress, thanks for help!
A great post! I love wordpress.. I like denise jones idea about the structure.. thanks
Great video tips .. I am still noob but learning
Hi Lisa,
I must say you present very well on video. I am relieved that I came across your post. I as a plumber have dived into something out of my comfort zone. I had a post recently, but decided for the long term for organic search “New Construction” as a page.
In about a month since I have been populating the site (yea trying best to research and write, and design) while working is a lot of work. Sorry strayed off – I have been indexing well with pages. But without I can see huge benefits of posting/blogging
Thanks for sharing!
Nicely said. In my experience, I’ve seen my pages and posts rank well in Google SERPs. This becomes a problem though if your posts are getting old and don’t get internal link juice from your site. So make sure to still link to them, or better yet, make them pages if you think they’re timeless and don’t want to see them go down in rankings.
I’ve seen my pages and posts rank well in Google SERPs. thank you
Starting a new blog and this post helped answer my question… thanks!
I have started a new blog on blogspot. I just want to know whic one is better –
Blogspot or WordPress
WordPress all the way!
thanks for video, i’m looking for the answer about post and page on SEO and i find this on your website. i’ll try affiliate website that all my product reviews place on page not blog post.
WorkPress is very flexible for SEO. I have been seen my posts and pages are easily indexed in Google Database and rank well in Google SERP’s.
Thank you Lisa for this post. I have heard that short keywords rank better on pages while for longer keywords posts are better. Is it true? But I take home your message that in the long run with appropriately online SEO either posts or pages can do well.
Currently on my home page I just have a static page set versus a post, I think it’s ok to use either as far as seo goes, like you said the function of the page matters. I was thinking of bringing in more guest bloggers or adding a question section to my blog also as well a more interactivivity so to reduce the bounce rate and users more involved any input?
Thank you very much for your video. The new updates with google panda has really shaken up my rankings and I just had to know if posts or pages was a factor or if one ranked better than the other. After seeing your video, I am confident in your conclusion. It’s what I suspected and now I can move on to something else. Thanks again!
Thank you for the important information. As I understand, posts are entries listed in reverse chronological order on the blog home page, and pages are static and are not listed by date. Pages do not use tags or categories. An About page is the classic example. So simply, posts are best for SEO.
Now I’m learning WordPress, thanks for help!
Thank you, thank you thank you! I love the video and your frank discussion of SEO, back links and Pages vs. Posts! I decided to do a page rather than posts for Alpharetta foreclosures after listening and watching your video! Your common sense approach cuts through all the nonsense and hype! Again, Thank you!
thats an awesome video about Pages vs Post. I started one of my microniche sites by building pages but have now decided to go in favor of posts to stick to the CMS structure of wordpress.
I also use Pages for MUST see information. Nice video lisa!
Thanks for a worthy share really loved the post how better you have explained and carry the discussion.spamming is everywhere but you have to get rid of it for better business prospects

Hi Lisa,
I just went through a huge conversion of changing my travel site from primarily set up as a category/post menu system to a page-based menu system. I “feels” better as a page-based system but not sure I how google will react. Crossing my fingers. As an aside, I cover 181 countries worldwide. I am stuck with having to focus on numerous keywords. Keywords for every country, in fact. I have been doing this for nine years. Love it. But still have never figured out the magic pill for SEO. Any thoughts?
Hi Lisa,
Thanks for that explanation!
