    Google will often show results just hours after a website is up, I'm not too sure why to be honest cause I don't know much about SEO etc! I've seen my sites indexed within hours of purchasing the domain before :eek:

    Check a huge site such as webhostingtalk.com and you will see that topics there can be indexed *minutes* after they appear.. Google keeps a very close eye on sites eh!

    Actually, wordpress is not SEO friendly.
    To make it friendly, you need to tweak it a little bit.

    Someone might not agree with me on this but if you do your research a bit harder, you will see what I meant.

    Just one first tip. Install the title tag plugin for your wordpress powered blog.

    I don't think Google favors any ofthe blog service providers out there..Its just the respective site's configuration which if kept search engine friendly( in general and not only for Google), any search engine crawler can index it fast..Its unusual to get indexed that fast as you got..So, may be Google like your site..;)

    Are you sure? :p

    Look at your site title on every page.

    example:

    Site: Blogging Comm
    Page: about
    Title: Blogging Comm << About

    with title tag plugin

    Title: About << Blogging Comm

    looks like nothing but it affect your SEO.

    The latter means that you'll have to download it, install it, configure it, on a web server and start using it. So the difference is whether you want to run your own web server with blogging software, or use one of the available services already being provided on the web.

    Actually, Google is not exactly in the side of wordpress and its definitely not advisable for newbie when it comes to blogging because there are some widgets and configuration that needs to understand first before you make a post. But i know, Google loves bloger or blogspot more than any other blog sites because bloger or blogspot is from Google.

    The guidelines or rules that the wordpress has makes it the best blogging platform compared to blogger. I once create my first wordpress blog and i added multiple links on the content. A week or two, my blog has down and it tagged as spam. That was the time I find time to read on their terms and policy. But if you try to notice creating a blog with unique content regardless of the theme or template, it usually index quickly by Google. Its a matter of quality and usually the blog design is not that worthy enough.

    For some reason, yes, google does like wordpress. I installed wordpress in a folder under my forum a couple of weeks ago. And now when I look at my site with the site: command in google, the first results are from the wordpress pages.

    Akismets of Wordpress are working good when it comes to spamming. I can monitor easily every users who copied or made a duplicate content on my wordpress blog. But be aware on the wordpress guidelines when it comes to providing links on your post. Limit your anchor text on the content to 3 links and as much as possible, write a unique content on your own without any duplicates.

    There is a lot of stuff to do before google loves you.

    1. Tableless layout, light structure
    2. Page titles properly optimized
    3. Clean SEF links
    4. Meta description (not important so much for SE's, for users are)
    5. Inlinks, backlinks
    6. Sitemaps
    and many more...
    WP is not optimized for google by default, you have a plugins to do that. Once everything is set properly, google cant hate you ;)

    Blogspot is googles, maybe its made with good access for google SE (probably is), but I cant be sure it doesnt favores blogspot more than wordpress.

    it's depend what kind of free blog hosting site you use whether blogger, wordpress, or tblog doesn't matter. the matter is how you used it just to make it friendly to google.

    Haha I've not seen many blogspot blogs passing by in the search results though the past few months (was different before I know ;) )

    The reason Google loves WordPress is because WordPress has everything. When building custom websites you forget a lot of stuff (take pinging for example, or all meta stuff etc).

    That's why Google kinda loves WordPress blogs ;)

    From my limited experience, indexing and SERP aren't really affected one way or the other if you have a WP blog or static webpages.

    you update daily new fresh article on your blogs so google and all search engines can index your site fast and crawl also thats u you get ranking for some time this ranking is not stable for 1-2 months.
    if you doing good seo works than you get stable ranking
