Wordpress and SEO

  • Hi,

    I've been working with Wordpress for a few months now and i've got a query that i was hoping someone could clear up for me.

    At the moment i'm working on a semi-static site in Wordpress and I was wondering, from a SEO point of view what's the best route to go down regarding the page content. For my static pages do i keep the content in the page template php file or do i actually insert the content into Wordpress? Does it make any difference which route i go down from a SEO point of view?

    Thanks,

    Cameron
  • As far as I know, all that matters is what gets rendered on the final site. It shouldn't matter how the content gets on the page.

    From a personal point of view, I would put as much content directly into WordPress as I could.
  • I'm no expert by any means so take it with a grain of salt lol, but I think the only thing that matters is after it passes the server and what the engine/browser sees, like TheDoc said. So if you are entering it through Wordpress, like a post in the WYSIWYG editor, it would write more php code probably, but the end result may be exactly the same after all the php parses though the server??

    I personally would manually code it, because I think you have more options as far as semantically coding the markup?
  • Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated.
