Best to Post Dynamic Content (Listings) under "Posts" in Wordpress?

[Kingalan1]

My commercial real estate web site is being migrated to Wordpress from Drupal.

Is it advisable to place  dynamic content that will use taxonomy under "Posts" ?

Listings will be changed every few months and there could be anywhere from several hundred to several thousand of them on the site.

Developers have given me different advice. One has been adamant that listings and neighborhood pages (there will be about 25 neighborhood pages) should not be in the post section which is to be strictly reserved for blog entries.

The last thing I want is to create a site structure which is unfriendly to SEO!!!!

I would very much appreciate the perspective of anyone proficient with Wordpress and SEO.

Thanks!!!

Hi Alan

I think a little more info would help.

Are listings going to be replaced and updated (and the page address stays the same) or are new listings going to be added (ie: new pages will be added)?

Basically, if the page URL stays the same, ie domain.com/neighborhood/listing/ and you're simply updating content - then Pages are the best way. And you would just use nesting etc to get the structure set up.

If the URLs change, and new ones keep getting added, then you may want to use Posts.

My guide to WordPress on Moz explains a lot of this stuff in detail.

And I did a little tutorial video on posts vs pages

This is a little unique case scenerio, so if you can give a little more info (or an example!) that would be helpful!
