    I dont believe it. I run both, and I believe a well build html website will out perform a blog. I am trying to figure out how google identifies wordpress blogs though, so I can eliminate any identifiers. But I may be mislead!

    I wouldn't say one is better than the other. It all depends on who is running the site, how it is designed, SEO and everything else.

    It also depends on what kind of site you need.
    I think Wordpress is extremely flexible and I like having a static look, with blog capabilities...I also think Wordpress is easier to operate and manage for a novice, or someone who isn't very technical but wants to run their own site.

    Wordpress is good for a lot of things, but not for everything.

    Best thing about WP is it's ready for customization and additional functions right out of the box as opposed to a static site where you have to code and program everything by hand.

    It doesn't matter, whichever you update more regularly get better result. WP has some automated plugings like XML sitemap plugin which makes things bit easy.

    From a search engine aspect, Wordpress is love by search engines. The code is clean and uniform, and when a spider comes across your wordpress website it likes what it sees. It isn't new ground for the spider, and as a result the website is usually indexed quicker. Wordpress is extremely common, and is loved by the search engines because it is common grounds for them to crawl.

    The reason why they say is because of the use of Canonical URLs and Plugins like XML Sitemaps which you can also have on HTML sites as well..

    It is just so much easier to run/manage a WordPress site rather than update every single html page...

    yeah it depends on many factors

    html sites can be easier and simpler to fine tune as far as onpage seo is concerned if you know what you're doing

    with wordpress though you can add content faster, easier, and it's more social, and more linkable, it gives people a voice to express on via comments etc, in a bigger picture and longer term this benefit outweights any on page benefits of pure html sites in my opinion

    WP is easy to use if you're not an HTML expert. Good online support too.

    If you build your own website in HTML, you need to worry about a few things:

    1. Able to generate a rss feed and sitemap for your site automatically
    2. Notify all major search engines whenever you have created a new page
    3. SEO friendly URLs

    I think there is a lot more :p

    Another thing of wordpress that makes it on the top is millions of themes and mods that are absolutely free.

    Lets see you try to manage a 1,000 page site with static html pages. Can we say "no thanks"?

    static html sistes are ok for a couple of pages that never have to be updated. But when your dealing with regular updates, inserting images, search features,,,,,, hundreds of pages - a content management system is the way to go.

    The answer to this question could spur a massive list of bullet points as to why a Wordpress site is better than a plain HTML.

    Long story short - Wordpress ties everything together with categories and tags. Unless you're custom coding your HTML site to do that, it's not going to have anywhere near the same solid internal linking structure.

    ..and that's not even mentioning how easy it is to making Wordpress sites look amazing with templates, plugins, widgets, etc., as well as doing something relatively simple like editing a header or sidebar without it being a major task.

    Wordpress support is the worst,but for other web designing sites,the support is excellant.We need to find it all by yourself.I rate wordpress very badly because of the experiences I've had with them.Better to study some HTML or get some site maker
