While WordPress sites seem to get indexed faster than a static HTML site I have no way to qualify that. My point would be the social aspects that can be incorporated into a WP site or blogs in general such as pinging and social bookmarking.

I tend to agree that static content, like using a static front page on a WP site, may reduce Google page rank. But you could do both and use static content as well as recent posts on the static front page, rendering your point moot and having the best of both.

There are, of course other factors determining page rank, such as backlinks and good original content. Even if you use a static front page and if you setup, optimize and post regularly on the WP site, even if the posts are not on the main page, Google will find it.

Hi,
thank for sharing custom wordpress static front page, it is really useful.

However, using static or page in wordpress has a weakness, less SEO friendly and more difficult to get indexed by search engine compare with dynamic.

“So you may want consider learning how to change this by hard coding the navigation bar in the themes header.php file.”

Any samples on how to do this? I’m having double home page issues.

Thanks,
Jacci
