Are pages or posts better for SEO in WP? Is there a difference?

    I'm outsourcing someone to put together a WP site for me www.makingmoneyeasy-ac.com and wondered if there's a difference for SEO purposes between keyword optimizing posts or keyword optimizing pages? The first guy who started working on it was using the content I supplied as posts, but the guy who's presently working on it is using separate pages.



    Thanks in advance for any input

    Posts are better if you're writing content regularly and flowing the juice onto your pages which are ranking for main terms as SEOibiza noted. That way, Google is crawling your website more and given you the thumbs up for unique content.

    Best strategy -- do both.

    Regular updates of your content and proper keyword density i.e. near about 3-5% to improve your website in the search engine.Since the content is the king in SEO.Then start optimizing the website pages with the relevant keywords that you have target to improve search engine ranking.

    Thanks all for the helpful advice, it does sound like the best strategy is to use a combination of both. I was thinking that using pages themselves would be the most effective, but I now see where there is benefit in both!

    Kind regards and thanks again

    I always split it evenly, of course both give different benefits
