Advantages of Wordpress Pages versus Posts
-
I have a number of SEO focused articles that I would like to post to our site to help with content and rankings. I am wondering the advantages of posting the content as a page versus a post within Wordpress. Or even vice versa.
Any thoughts on whether I should do as a page or post?Thanks.

Isn't your Blog basically viewed as one page?
Posting on your site has some value in adding more SEOo content (Title Tags, Meta stuff) as long as its well organized.

One important factor about Wordpress in general is it's robust ping system. Each time a post is published a list of ping servers are notified and it helps to get content indexed VERY quickly, plus posts have datestamps on them so they are more likely to appear on searches for recent articles. Go posts!

In wordpress a post provides extra tools for organizing the content: by category, author, date, tag.
A page is meant for content that doesn't need those classifications, and typically pages are used to create the main navigation links.
It all boils down to how you want to structure your site, but like the others mentioned using the blog post format provides certain benefits: the user understands they can follow feeds and comment on blog posts. Also, if you're using add-ons the categories and tags can be very helpful for things like Related posts.

If you are going to continue to write new articles on an ongoing basis the best platform for this info would be a blog. The only thing that would make me lean away from that is if you said you just had a number of articles and only wanted to put those up, but didn't plan on continuing to produce new content. If you are going to keep posting on a regular basis the blog is by far the better option.

I would not be too concerned on where you put the content on the site as long as the content can be crawled by the search spider. Blog is the best place on a website to provide good quality content to your users where they can subscribe to RSS and follow your work. It can also increase chances of generating User Generated Content on your website which will ultimately benefit your rankings.

Duplicate Page Titles
It seems as though we are being flagged for duplicate page titles when really they are slightly different. Is it better to remove the "dart board" or "dart board backboard" from all the product titles? We were doing this for optimal SEO - to rank for the search of "dart board" - but is it really hurting us? for example, our product titles are: Obama dart board backboard, Texas dart board backboard, Oklahoma dart board backboard, etc. Yet they are being flagged as duplicate titles.

WordPress - duplicate content
I'm using WordPress for my website. However, whenever I use the post section for news, I get a report back from SEOmoz saying that there's duplicate content. What it does is it posts them in the Category and Archive section. Does anyone know if Google sees this as duplicate content and if so how to stop it? Thanks

To achieve this ranking, I had to use the On-Page Keyword Optimization, tool from seoMoz Questions: It is possible for me to create a page with the URL: https://www.furnacefilterscanada.com/Furnace-Filters or https://www.furnacefilterscanada.com/Furnace-Filter Can this improve my ranking with keywords like, ''furnace filters'' and ''furnace filter''? Is this a waist of time? If I decide to create a new page for optimization with, do I have to create one for singular and another one for plural? Creating a new page also mean removing, '' Furnace Filter'' in the home page title, until the new pages are index, I'm afraid to loss that 5th position in Google. Should I leave the home page title like it is now, '' Furnace Filter - Furnace Filters Canada - Online Shopping Store NOTE: we only do business in Canada, that is why Google.ca is more important to us Thank you, Jean Nichols
