    Hi, I am making a website especially for adsense earning.
    Will be making a lot of posts on everything. I just want to know whether I should make posts or pages?

    Please reply keeping in mind that I want to optimize this website for SE and main motive is adsense.

    Thanks

    Better to write bigger posts and load them up entirely on different pages. For a search engine a page is computed upon the density of stuff written about something. More the amount of pages, more your chances of making it higher on the SERP table, just make sure that all your posts are inter-linked to each other .

    Wordpress is a CMS which Is Made to be Used for making Posts If the No. Of Massive! If You make some 50 Pages, Your Site will be screwed since many Themes makes a Menu Button On Navbar for Pages!!

    So, Simple, Make Posts!

    I think, If I use pages then there will be more chances of getting my website indexed in SE and a visitor will get exact info. what he is looking for.
    If I make posts, then those will appear in home page too and visitors may also visit home page via SE and they will have to find the post on home page. What do you say?

    you should go for posts, as first you might define additional keywords for each, and can do rss feed all around and use your adsense there as well ;)

    Frequent posts definitely are the best for SEO, as it will make the bots return to your site more and more frequently. Why don't you just set up categories for your posts and display a navigation bar at the top with a link to each category. Then users will easily be able to find what they want.

    You can and should have a few static pages, but for regular content, it's gotta be posts!

    LOL... I know that but this is not the answer to my question. I will consider your reply as an increase in 'Post Count'.

    it's best you use post, use keywords that will be easily crawled by the spider.make a page for post then post your new articles in the index page. look for plugins that will automatically put your recent post on the index page.

    It doesn't matter. Google crawls and ranks content. It doesn't care if it's static content or archived or whatever. If the content is relevant and contains incoming links Google will rank it. I have sites that are now 10 years old and the content has not changed one bit in 10 years and they still rank.

    Of more importance is the Template you choose to use. Many templates will incorporate advertising blocks that display the same for Posts and Pages.

    What really matters is if you want to scale and take advantage of the blogging features built into WordPress.

    A small site using only Pages could do equally as well as a site using Posts. If you don't plan on updating the content then why would you want to use posts which will be buried in dated archives? On the flipside if you plan on continually adding content and hope to gain a following then it would make more sense to use posts and let the content become archived.

    It's the carpenter not the hammer.

    Yes, I would agree with making posts instead of pages. And you have to make sure that you’re site contains great content which must be loaded on a daily basis. We must not skip a day of writing. :)
