When you are preparing your wordpress blog to be search engine optimized, Google is often the search engine you think about the most. Of course, Bing, Yahoo and other SEs are also important but Google generally calls the shots and when they make an announcement it pays to stand up and listen.
Google recently came out and said that the speed of your individual webpages will be a factor that affects ranking within their search engines. In short it means to get your site’s page ranking better, you have to make your webpages load as fast as possible. Obviously this is not the only factor that affect the ranking but good SEO involves dealing with the little things.
