    Hello,

    I recently read somewhere that it is hard for a Wordpress website to rank high in Search Engines...

    My questions are:

    Is that true ?

    And, is it better to make a website your self, or is it oke to use wordpress... ?

    I want to start a website and optimize it so it will reach at least first page on Google,,, Is Wordpress a good idea, or will it be better to make a website my self... ?

    Please tell me why ?

    I think rankings depend on what you do with that site.

    If I use the SEO-All-In-One plugin and have good articles on the website etc...

    Is there a difference between a Wordpress and selfmade website ?

    Or does it NOT matter to search engines ?

    Bingo.

    It doesn't matter whether you use WP or create a static site. It's the content you put on it an dthe links you get to it that matter. Wordpress can be good for beginners to get up and running quickly with next to no technical knowledge, but I wouldn't worry about WP vs static site for rankings.

    It doesn't matter when you want to rank in search engines. It depends on the seo work that perform on the site...

    IMO Wordpress makes SEO much easier, especially since there are tons of SEO plugins. If you have everything set up right (permalink structure, title tags, etc.) and you know what your doing, you will have no problem ranking. Many of the top websites in the world use Wordpress.

    It doesn't matter to search engine you use wordpress or selfmade
    All that matters to search engine is links and your site content
    you don't have to use SEO-all-in-one-plugin to have SEO-all-in-one-plugin features on your site
    you can do it manually, the plugin just make it easier for you

    I love WordPress for SEO and so does Google. I would go with WP. It will save you time.
