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".

Migrate from HTML to Wordpress?
My website is currently HTML because in the past, I liked a more hands-on approach and liked to have a high level of control over my code. My organic search rankings are very good. I do have a blog on wordpress now. Despite all of this, I am considering moving to Word Press. The reason is that the fancier website techniques are very easy to achieve with a wordpress theme or plug-in. And some changes, such as menu, can be done at the high level versus the entire site. Auto-responsive is built within the themes, so anytime a new device comes out, they update it so I don't have to. And, I would like to be more tightly integrated with my blog. I am also getting to the points that I have no time to code and would like something a little simpler to maintain. BUT, I am scared to make the move and then completely lose my organic rankings. I know that I will have to 301 all of the pages. And I know that I will have to maintain all my current on-page SEO by paying close attention to the headers and whatnot. Do you all think that it is worth making the switch? Is there a good chance my organic rankings will drop?

Is Fall In Keyword Ranking After Launch of Revamped Website Normal
After launching my redesigned website (www.nyc-officespace-leader.com) Google ranking has dropped significantly for competitive keywords. The previous version of the site and the new version both have approximately 450 pages. My website developer was careful to implement 301 redirects. Monitoring Google Webmaster tools it shows that Google has picked up a quantity of duplicate content. More than 950 pages or shown in their index while my site only has 450 pages. There are also certain pages which require canonical which tags my developer is in the process of implementing. The relaunch was July 10. My developer is of the opinion that this fluctuation in ranking is normal and that it will take Google about one month to reindex the new site and remove the old pages from the directory. Is this accurate? Anyone have any ideas on why my site has tanked in Google's search results? Thank you very much. Sincerely,

Best strategy for multiple internal links
We have a website that has a whole heap of internal links. After re-structuring the footer links to the main categories we are now looking at the best way to display the internal links from each category (approx 20-50 links from each). At present they are simply listed on the corresponding category page, however this doesnt look great so we want to display them in a way that is user friendly and also seo friendly. Any suggestions and examples appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Searching for BEST e-Commerce Multilanguage Platform, Need Advice
I have 2 online store in Canada. Both are selling One bilingual (English&french) Filtration Montreal and a unilinguale store Furnace Filters Canada Both are offering the same products at the same price for Canadian. We work hard to rank on Google.ca because we only sell and ship to Canada. The platform of Filtration Montreal is very basic and limited. For example, the url structure make it very hard to rank on Google.ca This platform is very not SEO friendly with url like: http://www.filtrationmontreal.com/en/product/honeywell-genuine-filter-95/pack-of-5-genuine-honeywell-furnace-filters-20x20x5-601.html The only good thing about this platform, is the multilingual option. The customer can shop in french or English. I would like to move that store to a new platform where I can create a multilingual online store. Do you have sugestions? Furnace Filters Canada is on BigCommerce. I find it SEO friendly. Using SEOmoz tools and new to SEO, high competitive keywords like: furnace filters, furnace filter are ranking on 3rd rank in Google.ca fist page! This site is getting more & more visitors every months. The only frustrating thing is the English only version of the stores to customers. QUESTIONS: What will be the SEO impact if I'm moving Furnace Filters Canada to a new platform? Do you have suggestions in finding the perfect multilanguage e-Commerce platform? Andrew Bleakley suggest Ashop. Anybody using Ashop? How about a eCommerce platform that can manage my 2 stores at the same time. REMEMBER, we sell and ship to Canada only. Thank you for your help and support. BigBlaze

Do iFrames embedded in a page get crawled?
Do iFrames embedded in a page get crawled? I have an iFrame which prints a page hosted by another company embedded in my page. Their links don't include rel=nofollow attributes, so I don't want Google to see them. Do spiders crawl the content in iFrames, or do I have to ensure that the links on this page include the nofollow attribute?
