@Andy, @Mike, @barbara, @Capresso – my pleasure and thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment for me!

@Candace – Thank you! I don’t see WordPress sites being at a disadvantage at all. If done right, you can set it up for great SEO fundamentals. And you can easily update your site with fresh new content, which gets more attention from Google’s crawlers. So I’ve seen WP be an advantage over static sites.

Dan,
Your information is excellent, even more impressive was your demonstation. Your video and its effectivness exemplifies the importance and power of SHOWING rather than TELLING. You don’t talk, you educate!
I still wonder this. If all proper seo elements and various protocols are followed to fulfill Google’s SE requirements, are websites built on Wordpress at a disadvantage for being crawled and indexed and ranked? Does Google practice “equal opportunity?”

Don,

No question for you , I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to make this blog and make your videos. Your information has helped me clear some of the fog from trying to build my first site using Wordpress.
You seem like a person who genuinely wants to help others and it comes across in your videos and your responses to people who have questions for you.

I wish you success in your endeavours!

@Eileen – it should work when you have WordPress Privacy settings turned on. All that will do is tell Google not to crawl the site. But the Google Webmaster Tools should still verify.

Is it possible to do this if you site is set to “privacy” while you are building, or should you wait for the site to be “live”?
