The SEO world is buzzing at the moment over Wordpress v HTML/CSS websites - which is better for SEO?
Angel SEO’s MD Dave Cain, has recently conducted a study, Wordpress v HTML/CSS websites. The study came back with some interesting findings and proved the case for bespoke websites over template based websites. Read Angel SEO’s study here.
During the study two websites were uploaded on their own domains, one a bespoke HTML/CSS site the other a Wordpress maintained site. To begin with both ranked well in Google, ranking on page one. But after only a few days the Wordpress site started to drop down the ranking, whilst the bespoke site remained on page one. It is important to remember neither site was updated during the study.
For a Wordpress maintained site to be ranked well in Google, it needs to be treated like a blog and updated regular, if not on a daily basis. Whereas bespoke sites that are created in an SEO friendly way continue to rank well because they are created in such a way that they keyword rich and answer a searchers enquiry. Which in turn means Google is more likely to index them higher, and keep them there for a longer period of time.
