Hello – I just wondered if WordPress blogs are as easily picked up by search engines as Blogger blogs… I read an article online that said that they are not as easily indexed etc… Is this really the case? Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Ha! ha! ha! I’ll bet you saw that on a Blogger blog covered with advertising and maybe even filled with duplicated content. I couldn’t resist – as the blogging platform that’s the home to the majority of free hosted sploggers and spammers is Ta Da! Blogger!
No it’s not true and more to the point WordPress blogs templates have good SEO, while Blogger templates throw over 300 HTML errors right out of the box.

You’re welcome and do not let alone take you off-track. It’s the on page SEO (search engine optimization) techniques you apply to your blog and to your posts that is important when it comes to search engine ranking so I recommend that everyone learn basic white hat SEO. :) See this post for how to make your blog “discoverable” > 5 Google Webmasters Video Tutorials

@hannasgarden: What search engines prefer is an XML sitemap. All wp.com blogs have a built-in XML sitemap. As the relevant Support doc says:
“No need to do anything extra on your end. The sitemap file included with your blog is available to every search engine that supports the protocol, including Google, Yahoo!, Bing, Ask.com, and others. WordPress.com automatically sends updates to search engines every time you update or delete a page or post.”Could you please link to that article you read?
