HOWTO optimize your blog on WordPress?

Bookmark and Share

WordPress is a blog publishing application and content management system. Many Internet surfers have their own blogs and some of you have the WordPress blog, because it is easy to manage, add content and edit its appearance by setting up the themes from the network or create the own one. So we all know what WordPress is, but how to make a blog more search engine-friendly? This is what my today’s blogpost about.

First thing you might need to do is to change the permlinks through your blog to the one where the post name is present in blogpost URL, e.g /postname/ or /category/postname/. In this case you will get more visitors because post’s keywords are present in the link.

Also, change the titles to match the previous thought – to have keywords in Title. To do this, adjust the titles to the one where the post name or category name or even tag is displayed, e.g post title – blog title, tag – archives page – blog title, blog archives page – blog title.

Description meta tag as for any other html page should be added to every post page, it is suitable when a description is not the automatic words list, but human-written phrase understandable for Internet surfers.

All these above can be made using such WordPress plug in as All in One SEO Pack. Another important role in SEO is image optimization – adding title and alt tags, ensured by SEO Friendly Images plug in.

All the plugins above can improve your WordPress blog visibility in search engines; should you strive for more, please visit the page with other SEO plugins – WordPress SEO plugins. But if you are waiting for incredible results right upon optimization, you shouldn’t. You will need to engage with some other blogs, micro-blogs and social networks to get important visitors on your blog. So, good luck)
