This is true, but it's more like a tiebreaker. Relevance scores are a function of the keyword density. Many pages will have similar relevance scores, then Page Rank boosts linked-to pages. CoWP already has a linking program, but the home page text needed to be edited for search engine scoring.

This is true up to a certain point. Google cites news pages and airline schedules as examples that change too frequently to index in the web-search index.

You're welcome. I'm your friend in the search business.
The CoWP states search ranking as it's goal. So that's why I focused on that site.
The default settings for the Guest user is 20, so a search index will score each page of 20 posts. When you get past 20 posts, the relevance score of the first page of the thread won't change. You are better off starting a new thread filling it with 20 posts with good keyword density and linking to the page.
Adding new pages to a thread won't change the search ranking of previous pages of that thread.
