Does Google Hate WordPress and Other Blog Platforms? I have talked with other site owners who use Wordpress as a blog or CMS and they too have had similar problems. High ranking in Yahoo Search Engine and other smaller search engines but no ranking in Google Search Engine.

Why is this?

I am not sure, there is no reason stated on Google’s help pages and I have not yet received a response from Google as to why this is happening. One conclusion I have is that Google marks “Blogs” and removes them from general search listings, only to show up under Google’s Blog Search.

Examples

The first couple search results for “Unmastered Affiliate” in the Google search engine get results for our Unmastered Affiliate Series on ezinearticles.com. As you can see our main website is no where to be found. It’s not even on the second page.

As you can see we are ranked #1 in Yahoo Search Engine.

Conclusion

So far this is a mystery to me and other site owners who use Wordpress. It really does kill your traffic coming from Google. If you are interested in learning more or want to find out more information on the outcome of my search, please reply or email me at bill ‹at› unmasteredaffiliate ‹dot› com.
