In 2008, i started a few tests on multiple websites to confirm my suspicion that Wordpress websites are more SEO friendly, or given more weight by Google.
My first test was to convert a static website, already optimized for SEO and used a CSS template to a WP CMS site. This was for an existing SEO client after 6 months of optimization. I changed over the site approx Dec 29, 2008, and I initially forgot to reinstall the analytics code for 4 days after launching the new site (my bad). This actually worked out nicely, as it provides a great landmark for the transition when viewing traffic in Google Analytics. See below. The red line marks the date the new site was relaunched in WP.
Perhaps its coincidence? Only further testing will tell. Please comment if you can attest to your experience with specific software that gives you an SEO advantage.
