It's just me me or did you noticed that:

- wordpress sites/posts are indexed almost instantly;
- but: backlinks from wordpress posts (even without comments plugin on) have little value (almost none);

Maybe google changed the way wordpress sites play the game because of too much scrapebox spammers...

what do you think about it?
 
sounds you are hiting something there but still "a link is a link" no matter what gogle is trying to make us thing they take all link into account.....
 
i agree with (ventureman) a link is a link, you need quality content on your site for google to be nice to you :)

just keep getting backlinks.
 
Hmm.

I have noticed that it is significantly easier to rank Wordpress than a custom dev site. In fact, for one an ecommerce site of mine, I have a companion Wordpress-based blog that I created to drive traffic + SEO link juice to the ecommerce site.

I've done essentially 0 SEO for the blog, but a lot for the money site. Constantly, I find cases where for targeted keywords, my blog is ranked #1 and my money site is unranked (e.g. SERP 100+).
 
I have found wordpress links to be very good for my SEO efforts, its just one part of my link building plan but I have no doubt that it helps.

Just mix it up.

How's your site set up? You don't have it set to those nasty dynamic URLs do you?
 
One of my sites have 396 links from Wordpress.com blogs. And this site is not a wordpress site, but another platform. They suddenly appeared 6 days after a SB blast.
Guess they would be good to have :-D

I'm not talking about spamming :) I'm talking about a single post on a good blog with a good PR. I said that because I can get page #1 movement with only 1 (one) good backlink when I write a decent article and post on the right places. But the "right places" running wordpress seems to affect little compared to another cms's. I dunno yet if it's intentional by google or not.

Edge: after month's doing SEO you must recognize by yourself where you get best results from, don't you? :)

On my SEO list I got exactly 3 websites that are PR5 on my contry and I can create reviews of my products inside it. So I wrote 3 contents (not spunned), but each one complementary of the other's, publish it with a anchored backlink to my site and "tchadam", at least top #3 in less than a week.

But, my domain is aged, I'm listed on dmoz, and considered authority for many keywords. Updated every day and no automatic backlinks at all. I can get an article to rank a keyword (medium dificult - micro niche - ~ 3000 exact searchs) in page #2 easily without effort/any backlink. But I need to write good stuff and wait at least 15 days to get google alone rank me better. If I start to build backlinks in the same day/week I've created the content = I get the dance forever (I guess backlinking without get at least 2 weeks indexed = google sniff the bad smells).

I don't even need to bookmark anything. Google find my new pages by itself (insite linking). I guess it's the better way.

I never outsourced article writening. If you doesn't know how to write about your products, who else will?!?

I have been testing wordpress sites, and again I can say that wordpress doesn't pass too much juicy and I can't figure out why yet. I can tell you I got another domain (not mine, it's a article site) that runs wordpress, PR4, that allow me to put one backlink on the articles, and when I create an text on it, it ranks very well (page #2) without any efforts, but it seems that it doesn't pass too much juicy (little or no SERP movement's for me).

I use mod_rewrite for SEO-friendly URLs.

However, my site is an ecommerce site, so it has very little text content (especially when compared to my blog, which has decent articles).
