What's the best Blogging platform

[RoxBrock]

A year ago an SEO specialist evaluated my Wordpress site and said she had seen lower rankings for Wordpress sites--in general. We moved our site off any cms and design in html 5. Our blog, however, is still on Wordpress. I'm thinking about moving to the Ghost platform b/c I only a blog. The drawbacks are one author, no recent post lists, no meta tags. Is it worth it to move the site off Wordpress. Will it affect my rankings much if I have great content? Does anyone have experience with or opinions on Ghost?

I have a lot of local website clients. I use the Wordpress platform exclusively for these websites and have had phenomenal success with rankings for these sites. One particular client's site was no where to be found on Google 2 years ago. They now dominate the top three positions on Google's 1st page on over 100 relevant keywords. (These are strong head terms and not just long tail terms)

So I'm a strong supporter of Wordpress. Of course you have to work on optimizing your pages, but Wordpress makes it so easy and quick to make changes.

I'm a strong fan of Wordpress, install Yoast plugin and make sure you put links in your blogs.  Even a related posts plugin like YARPP will help with more internal links to other blogs.  Wordpress usually needs a few SEO tweaks, but is a great CMS for being SEO friendly.

I agree i think wordpress is the easiest and the most user friendly. Please you can change themes or customize to your site very easily as well.

Wordpress is absolutely one of the best blogging cms solutions today. We have a couple of websites too running Wordpress and everybody can maintain and update it.
