Top bloggers have long heralded WordPress® as the superior blog platform for its ease of management and for the vast selection of open source social and SEO plugins designed for integration.

Now, a growing number of website developers and Internet marketers are leveraging WordPress as a platform for e-commerce websites - and for a whole new set of reasons.

According to online entrepreneur and Internet marketer Tim McGuiness, the WordPress platform offers search engine optimization components that are not present in traditional website platforms. By effectively utilizing these powerful components, e-commerce websites built upon the WordPress platform achieve high visibility in search engines in a very short span of time.

“I set up an entire WordPress based website in less than 5 hours and made a $115.96 sale from a Google search within 24 hours of launch. In 5 days, the site was already ranking on page one, two, and three in Google’s natural results for several of my primary keywords,” said Tim McGuiness, Internet entrepreneur and founder of OrovoWeightLoss.com (link)
