Google Loves WordPress

It is a bit of a mixed topic as it involves Google, WordPress and SEO. Client I have created site for, hired SEO specialist for one of the regions and he has build WordPress site (placed on the subdomain). And he had said exactly what you see in the title.

Does anyone here have a hard evidence for that or this guy just does WP and it is easier to sell that. I can find good arguments against WordPress, especially in the case of this client as he does not need CMS. Coding and all the updates are done by hand in PHP.

I would love to hear arguments pro and against WP, especially if you experienced it. For example, I had to work on WordPress hack last week that hijacked menu links. So one issue with WP is problem with security.

Thanks.

 

I started my SEO business in 2008, used to exclusively run html sites. Now, it is Wordpress, with the exception of one WIX site. I don't have any evidence Google loves WP, but they certainly don't hate them either. My WP sites rank competitively, at the top of their fields.

 

Does your WIX site rank as well as your WP sites?

 

To my surprise, yes it does. And Mueller said a while back that WIX sites should rank well.

 

So would you say it is SEO that matters not WP or Wix?

 

Both platforms are easily optimized and perform well.
