Advantages of Wordpress Pages versus Posts

[findachristianjob]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
