I know there are more posts like this. None of them seem to answer my question though.
Let's say i have two websites. One is a Wordpress site, the other is a self scripted html site.
Both websites are the same in text and so.
The websites just contain a couple of pages with good keyword-rich text. No fancy things.
If i place both websites online, which one will rank out higher in Google?
PS: I know Wordpress has a lot of fancy plug-ins for SEO. I am not counting these in this equation. People say things like: "Google just likes Wordpress's structure. But a couple of HTML documents are much easier and faster to crawl."
Thanks in advance,
It would be difficult to ascertain which would rank higher without seeing the code of both websites side by side. If you do publish both websites together to test then you will probably be punished for having duplicate content.
WordPress's HTML structure and semantics have been created with
accessibility in mind which is what Google would give weight to.
If you use friendly and relative filenames/URLs as WordPress does,
this is also a plus.
If you use simple HTML files as #Paul D. Waite mentions above then
indeed this will be faster to crawl than dynamic pages like PHP.
I would conclude if your website is relatively simple and you don't need to update it regularly then, a static website would rank better as it's just content and none of the fuss.
Don't forget inbound links will play a big factor in your page rank.

I'm trying to get back into HTML & CSS coding and learn JS. I found so many tutorials which are very helpful, now I would like to develop some simple websites. Many years ago the only way to make subpages (I hope it is a correct translation) was to use iframe or just copy whole content from homepage (so with need of editing every page to change ex. logo or footer). What is the best way to do it now?
Typing "HTML CSS webpage tutorial" in YT returns a lot of awesome results, but it gives me only the solution how to make a design, not a website with working menu etc.
What do you suggest? I prefer to work on separate files instead keeping all code in one "index.html".
Thank you in advance,
Happy New Year!!!

I have no solution yet.
Nowadays different frameworks are used for that purpose. If you don't want to use one, the easiest way would be to still use PHP and use its include method to load "subfiles" like header, footer, navigation sidebar and other content / website parts that are identical on all pages.
BTW, just a note aboute a detail in your question: The "ancient" method for this didn't use iframes, but frames – that's a big difference: iframes load external webpages, frames (as parts of framesets) load parts of the own website.

Currently, I am working on my first web page using HTML and CSS. I want to use the same layout like background and header etc but I can't find a way. Today I found a couple of website telling about the template. Is this the related to what I want to do.
Thank you for helping a beginner.

I would recommend you a few things:
Find websites that make you feel as it is what you wanted to build.
Check their source code and try to find the semantics they have maintained.
Once you figured it out, you should try to create similar one.
You should follow HTML5 specifications , as it will help you build solid foundation. while doing this you will also understand best practices.
HTML or designing mostly depends on requirements. so you might not get one rule to follow, just invest time understanding some great works out there and practice alot.
In case you are very concern to layout, search for website layout images and you will get plenty of images having typical elements like header, navigation/menu, body (left/right sub menu + main content), footer.
You can consider templates for learning but it may lead you to trap of copying-pasting.
You can use Microsoft Expression Web application, which handles template. You make one page and save it as template and declare editable parts for sites. Then You can create multiple empty HTML pages. Finally you attach template, then it works.
Or if you can use PHP, you can create different parts of your Web Site, like: header.php, footer.php, banner.php and include them in every page where modifying the body and not writing the same footer, header, banner

How to add strong SEO info in word press website? Please need full answer. Thanks. I want to make my website easily to be search regarding TAGS or search keywords, related to my website. I want my web to be on first search page. Thanks
There are plenty of SEO plugins available for WordPress, some better than others, but in order to truly optimize your site for search engines, you need to get a firm grasp on SEO practices in general. You'd have to learn what type of content you want, html structure, links, etc. Your best bet is to search and read plenty of articles about website SEO, and then, if you've got specific questions, ask them instead.
A quick search returned a few resources produced by Google:
How Google Search Works
How Does Google Search Work (Youtube Video)
Steps to a Google-Friendly Site
Mozilla has created a nice Beginner SEO Guide as well.
Something else to keep in mind is that Google recently announced changes to searches on Mobile Devices. If your site is not optimized for mobile devices, your ranking will drop. So make sure to build a responsive site.
SEO is a constantly evolving aspect of the web, so you will also need to continually follow industry trends in order to maintain strong SEO.

I am planning redesign of my page (4-5 years old with pagerank 3-4). There will not be any URLs changing, meaning that the same content will stay under the same URL. But I am still bothered, because I heard that changing HTML structure on whole page can have some effect, mainly negative. But there is no way of changing design and layout of the page without changing HTML structure.
Could you please sum up all the things to take into account when redesigning website search-engine-friendly-way ?
I could go into some detail but basically check your site with this to get a detailed breakdown: http://nibbler.silktide.com/ Before and your test site (Preferably on a test domain ie. test.mywebsite.com).
Basic things not to do are: Do not use html tables for anything but displaying data in a grid, do not use semantic html where not needed this is used to highlight things as important.
Order of importance tags on a page
H1 < H2 < H3 < B
Make sure your html is valid and you have all the appropriate meta-tags in place as per the w3c standard you choose for your design.
Content is key, keyword density and page themes are what are important don't dilute a page, if you are going to add a new page.
Make sure you add a site map and submit to all search engines and have a robots.txt file pointing to your local xml sitemap.
For everything that you didn't understand that I said google the phrases in bold and you will find more detail of implementation.

I wondered what would be the markup to achieve the following on google, somehow they recognize the menu items and show it as part of the search result but I couldn't find an easy way to do it.
attached screenshot:
Basically, you are asking how to cause "sitelinks" to appear for your website. Unfortunately as far as SEO is concerned, there isn't any special markup you can use to make these appear. They will be shown if Google's algorithm determines it is appropriate to show them, otherwise, they won't be.
For more information, see the following help article from the Google webmaster tools:
http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=47334&topic=8523
There isn't anything special about the markup. Google needs to be able to crawl the site and be able to determine the site's structure based on how pages link to each other. In addition, you can tell Google how the site is structured by submitting a sitemap to them. This is a simple step you can do to encourage Google to build this structure in their search results. Be patient for the results to occur, however, as it can take a while.
A good site navigation tree (logical) and breadcrumbs on the internal page, may help google to check right your "menu". HTML5 too maybe a good idea to say to search engine "Hi. I'm the nav".
