WordPress is becoming more and more popular among personal, professional blogs and websites. Some of the popular websites powered by WordPress are – WordPress.com (PR9 – Alexa ranking 18), Mashable.com (PR8 – Alexa ranking 210), Techrunch.com (PR8 – Alexa ranking 349), Live.cnn.com (PR7) just to name a few.
As of summer 2011, more than 14.7% of the top million websites in the world (up from 8.5%) are built by WordPress. 22% new active domains in the US are running WP. The research released this week by website monitoring firm Pingdom shows that 49% of the top 100 blogs in Technorati’s index are now use WordPress. This includes WordPress.com hosted websites and self-hosted website. That’s up from 32% in 2009! WordPress is dominating the blogging platform market! As Google favors strongly on fresh original content, I think WordPress will gain even more popularity in the future.
