What are the best wordpress theme for getting a good page rank
-
There are lots of themes that if you want a big site limited you in the way the it is very difficult to make your site grow.
So the problem is that in the beginning when you select a theme actually you dont know the limitations it has.
I agree with the page ranking but a think that the structure of a complex theme helps to get higher page rank, maybe indirectly has you say... or maybe not
So in this community experience which themes are the ones with best admin page and with more additional features.

Hi,
Discussion becomes hot
In addition to my last response. WP templates (themes) have nothing to Google Page Rank.
Template can have good design, helpful admin page, good additional features, widgets etc... It can be very good for call to action solutions, eye-caching features ..... And the rest is your continuous work.
Page Rank is calculated factor based on link power, number of links, link structure and many more...
For general view of PR you just read an article in wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PageRank
Don't think (or dream) about high PR, rather go out to meet the expectations of [your site] visitors and adjust to what your customers want ... and be active

Bruce, you are not disagreeing with me...
I said good design alone will not get many links if it doesn't come with good content.
You are saying you are not linking to good content if it resides on a website with bad design.
Your affirmation doesn't oppose yo mine.And I agree that maybe the term of Page Rank was probably not clear, that's why when I noticed nobody was pointing out crystal clear the fact that PR comes from links I added my comment.
For example I liked a lot Keri Morgret's witty answer, but I felt like it was not totally "newbie friendly".

Sorina - I have to disagree with that.
I very rarely link to a site that looks amateurish - I'm much more inclined to link to a site that has a clean/smart look to it, i.e. a nice theme. So, if I'm the guy offering a link the Theme does matter.
I also think he was using Page Rank as a euphemism for strong SEO.

Page Rank has nothing to do with themes. Page Rank is a value calculated based on links only.
Personally I believe you will not get many links because you have a design or another... It's the content that gets you links and eventually PR, not the theme.

My own two cents.
I've used a couple ThemeForest Themes but they didn't last long.
Lately I've been quite happy with Solostream.com (I use them on my #1 site - and a couple others).
-
I just want to point out that I have noticed a tendency for many SEO bloggers to use the Genesis theme. Not sure why. Maybe someone else has insight they can share.

Hi,
I think you all right but ... I have tried many WP templates and can say that some of them works better then other in SEO. There is no straight recipe to choose good one, having in mind other than SEO features or design.
CMC-SD wrote about Yoast experience with SP themes ... I also don't trust.
Don't use templates with build-in SEO module, I haven't met even one good. Choose good design, useful features, check code validation (W3C) and test & try and so on...
Large selection of WP templates you can find on Themeforest ... but some of them are good - some not.

Ideally, your Wordpress theme should be lightweight, to keep page load times low. The HTML should be valid according to W3C standards. It should be free from wacky errors like the one Yoast describes here. If you're not a techy, you probably won't be able to check all of this. In that case, you're best off going with a theme that was built by a reputable theme maker. Apparently Yoast was consulted on StudioPress's themes, so that's a good sign. But don't blindly trust anyone who claims their theme is "SEO friendly."
-
The best themes for page rank are the ones that are easy for you to install, so that you can spend your time writing quality content to help your visitors convert and to earn links. There's no magic theme that will tell Google "this site deserves a high PR".

Should i be using shortcodes for my my page content.
Hello, I have a question. Sorry if this is been answered before. Recently I decided to do a little face lift to my main website pages. I wanted to make my testimonials more pretty. Found this great plugin for testimonials which creates shortcodes. I love how it looks like, but just realised that when I use images in shortcodes, these are not picked up by search engines 😞 only text is. Image search ability is pretty important for me and I'm not sure if I should stick with my plain design and upload images manually with all alt tags and title tags or there is a way to adjust shortcode so it shows images to search engines. You can see example here. https://a-fotografy.co.uk/maternity-photographer-edinburgh/ Let me know your thoughts guys. Regards, Armands

Should i not use hyphens in web page titles? Google Penalty for hyphens?
all the page titles in my site have hyphens between the words like this: http://texas.com/texas-plumbers.html I have seen tests where hyphenated domain names ranked lower than non hyphenated domain names. Does this mean my pages are being penalized for hyphens or is this only in the domain that it is penalized? If I create new pages should I not use hyphens in the page titles when there are two or more words in the title? If I changed all my page titles to eliminate the hyphens, I would lose all my rankings correct? My site is 12 years old and if I changed all these titles I'm guessing that each page would be thrown in the google sandbox for several months, is this true? Thanks mozzers!

How to do a non-spammy "doorway page"?
Hi there, ISSUE: I have a client who wishes to use a "doorway" page, but not in a spammy way. He would like to have a nice crisp URL for use in ads/brochures. The page is strictly a landing page (just with a separate URL). DOORWAY/LANDING PAGE WILL BE: Non-spammy -- There will be no attempt to optimize the landing page/no attempt to get the page to rank. Strictly a vanity URL -- he likes the way a separate website looks in ads as opposed to a landing page on the existing website (i.e., www.websitename.com/landing page) WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO: I'm basically trying to figure out what the best things to do to protect his other sites (which are very high quality valuable sites which rank well) from getting punished. STEPS I'M CONSIDERING: Robots no follow Separate hosting server Different person's name on a private domain registration Adding additional pages, so it's not a 1-page "doorway" Many thanks in advance to anyone who would share their experience and help me protect my client in the best way possible. I've told him there are risks, but he still wants to go ahead. MC

Home page is not the highest ranking page?
Our websites do not have the home page as the first page in the search engines. It's something benign like the privacy policy page or the directions page! I've thought of adding no index to the privacy page, but then the directions or contact page would show up instead of the home page. One odd thing I've noticed, is that on our link to the home page on our menu and footer, the link is /default.aspx?mb=rte. But that shouldn't make a difference and default.aspx should rank first, right? What can we do to fix this?

Site Ranks on Page 1 - Would launching new site hurt that
Hello, I currently have a website ranking in the top 7 for my main keyword. The website was built in 2004 and is definitely outdated, yet still ranks very high and brings in business. If i launched a new site on this domain, what would happen to my rankings? Would they drop? would they rise? If i don't launch the new site, will this site eventually drop due to being old and outdated? Any advice would be helpful...
