djdaniel150Wordpress sites don’t carry much value as they are simply templates. Google doesn’t give web designers brownie points for using them, nor do they frown upon them. Google see’s them as “just being there.” If you create an original design of your own, Google will grade your site much higher than some template that 100,000 other websites use. Matt Cutts has stated this himself. Also, when sites are built on a template this kills their resale value. I could most likely sell my newest website for a ton of money, because there is nothing else in the world like it. A big factor when appraising the value of a website/domain is not just the originality of the sites content, but the site itself. Design is worth money! A template on the web is worthless, even if you make changes to it.
