As someone who works with many small businesses, I’ve seen a lot of misconceptions about WordPress and its capabilities. WordPress is not only the perfect tool for small bloggers or websites, but it also powers some of the most popular sites you probably visit daily!
Even Google uses WordPress (see first site below). Matt Cutts, the head of the web spam team at Google, spoke highly of WordPress a few years ago at WordCamp. Some of the things he says about WordPress include:
“WordPress takes care of 80-90% of (the mechanics of) Search Engine Optimization (SEO).”
“WordPress is a great choice.”
“WordPress is a fantastic piece of software.”
All experts of SEO know who Matt Cutts is as he is known to give great SEO advice on a regular basis. It’s hard not to listen to him since he’s with the search engine king.
