WordPress is a content optimizers dream

What differentiates WordPress.com from other similar products?
Well, two or three things. First, WordPress has the best plugin store in the CMS game and so is spectacularly and easily customizable. Second,, that plus its out of the box structure gives SEOs the widest possible range of tools. Third, it's popularity means that you can find multiple in-depth explainers online for virtually any problem you're having so you' aren't dependent on their in-house service department.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I'm an experienced general SEO, but a content specialist and so can say without hesitation that the content optimization features of WordPress are second to none.
What do you dislike most about this product?
WordPress is easy to customize, but you absolutely have to customize it ... and sometimes the plugins and themes you have to do that with break it.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Unless you need a robust e-commerce platform, this is the CMS you're looking for.
