Even though there are dozens of platforms that bloggers and site owners can use, WordPress had become the one than many eventually decide to use.

Why do SO MANY end up using WordPress? Particularly SEO and Internet Marketing pros…kinda “obvi” that these guys might have a reason for that, huh?

A few months ago I met and had a few drinks with Matt Mullenweg, the founding developer of WordPress.  We talked specifically about why small business owners and entrepreneurs are choosing it to build their websites.

We both agreed that the main reason are that WordPress has great SEO capabilities out of the box, it’s easy to understand and is very user friendly.

However, being on page 1 of Google is only possible if you fully employ the maximum potential of WordPress, as it is not enough to have these types of features, if you do not use them to their full power.
