This is the beginning of my 10 part series on “Wordpress SEO Tips – How To & Strategies.”
Wordpress is, without question, the most powerful tool for achieving high levels of exposure, and top search rankings in Google’s search results (the ultimate goal and purpose of SEO).
Matt Cutts, a well known Google engineer, has even stated that Wordpress takes care of 80-90% of the technical SEO elements automatically!

More than just hearing people say that Wordpress is a powerful tool, I’ve actually experienced it with many of my own, and my client’s, Wordpress blogs.
I’ve seen Wordpress blogs get crawled, indexed, and up to a PageRank of 3 within 4 weeks, and I’ve seen new postings from Wordpress blogs achieve #1 rankings in Google within hours!
