Well the simple answer is yes you can. Wordpress is now an extremely powerful Content Management System (CMS) that can quickly and easily be deployed as a web site. It is a perfect tool for the seo site builder if done correctly.
I think it is best to have your ’site’ separately from your ‘blog’ though. Create static web pages and don’t include all the plugins etc. and bookmark shares like a normal blog post.
Place your blog posts in the folder www.sitename.co.uk/blog/ so Google will be able to determine which pages to index as site pages and which pages as blog posts.

See this short video from Matt Cutts.

We are regularly asked about linking and why sites dont show many links in Google. What is even more worrying is that a lot of questions are from ‘SEO companies’.

Google has a very good webmaster section and there are postings and videos to help people along.

Only last week I was presented with an ‘independant’ report on a site, this report had comments about Google only showing a few links from the ‘link:’ command. The inference was that our linking was of little use and we had not been doing our job properly.

The site in question is actually top of Google for both of the main generic search terms in it’s industry and also for countless other more targeted key phrase terms.

Anyway, here is a video from Matt Cutts which explains just what the ‘link:’ command is all about.

Well we have done it at last. After may hours of work we have managed to get the new free web ranking utility working.

Why not try it out, after all it is free and let us have any feedback.

If you like the service then please let others know

The only links that matter are inbound links. Loads and loads and loads of them. We offer great link building services blah blah.

Well if I had 17 pence for every time I came across this offering.

Links are only part of the whole picture, yes of course inbound links help and you could argue the more the better. You also need to pass the correct anchor text, have themed links, quality links, internal links, outbound links, spidered and indexed pages and many more elements.

I use a racing car analogy, if links are your horse power, just creating more and more horse power will definately improve your speed but do you have the chassis and the driver, the tyres, the fuel, the aerodynamics etc.

Been using some new techniques for #link building. Utilising the skills of our Searchwarp writer (he is now the main news colunmist on here) and some different posting techniques, we are achieving some brilliant results.
