In case you are debating whether or not to use WordPress for blogging or even a complete web design solution just take a look at what Google’s Matt Cutts had to say at WordCamp on May 30th.

In his presentation he shows you exactly what Google is looking for when ranking web sites and why WordPress is one of the best Search Engine Optimization (SEO) web development tools.

For those of you who are wondering who is Matt Cutts, what is WordCamp and why should I care, here’s a little background …

What is WordCamp?

Why should you care?

WordPress is rapidly emerging as the most efficient and cost effective way to build a quality web presence that Google, and other search engines, absolutely love! If you do business online then WordPress needs to be in your arsenal for better search engine rankings, content management and community building.

True Story:

Last month I started building a WordPress blog for a friend of mine who has a photography business. He’s been in business for about 5 years but is wanting to specialize in a certain photography niche. When he asked me what I thought would be the best way to market his business online I said, without hesitation, “WordPress”!

We started building his blog 4 weeks ago. Unfortunately, he had some personal issues come up and we had to put the project on hold for a few weeks. So, for 3 weeks his blog has just been sitting there with a few pages of content and about 4 blog posts. Today, we were able to finish up the blog design and add the rest of his initial content.

Just for grins we decided to test some of our target keyword phrases in Google to see how/if his new WordPress blog ranked. To our surprise he is already #3 in Google for one of his major search phrases. (A phrase that has very heavy Pay-Per-Click competition) And he has 2nd and 3rd page rankings for two others.

If it’s doing this well already just imagine what’s going to happen after he blogs for a few months.

His story is not unique. I have developed dozens of blogs and web sites using WordPress and all of them have similar results.
