Wednesday, July 9th, 2008How to SEO Wordpress
Wordpress can be one of the most rewarding publishing platforms, provided you know how to maximize your presence on the web. Using high standard yet simplistic SEO tactics you can increase your blog’s visibility online and get more traffic.
Title Optimization
It is very important that you optimize the titles of your blogs to attract the maximum traffic volumes possible. The typical format of blog titles on Wordpress is first the blog title, followed by blog archive and lastly the keywords infused post title. Ideally, to get the most traffic you need to place the keyword containing post title first since search engine spiders will lay most emphasis on the first words of the title. Hence, by placing strategic keywords at the beginning of the blog post title you gain more traffic and rankings online.
Description Optimization
It isn’t just sufficient to optimize the titles of your blogs but also the descriptions. You need to provide a fairly nice description to every category on the blog. Then use HeadSpace in order to append the description into your Meta description. Once you have done this, you need to write suitable descriptions for every page or post in the blog that you want ranked on search engines. The descriptions you place will serve two functions: one, it will place you on search engines and so keywords are necessary here and second, users will be coaxed into clicking by the usage of enticing words and descriptions.
Read more: Optimize that too
The HeadSpace feature allows you the ability to also optimize the ‘read more’ aspect or link. Hence, instead of the same old ‘read more’ link you can substitute it with a more meaningful text that conveys the meaning of the description better. As they say, God lies in the details you need to make sure it is these small aspects of your blog that get optimized to ensure the best Wordpress SEO.
Optimizing your Images
You can effectively optimize the images on your Wordpress blog by writing alt tags of good quality. The way you name your image files also makes a difference in the amount of traffic you receive. Besides this, using meaningful and keyword driven text to describe images will enable users to decipher what the images are about.
Single Post Optimizations
You can easily optimize single pages or posts of your blog by adding on breadcrumbs. These are small nuggets of links that help users navigate through your blog or site easily. In addition, these breadcrumbs facilitate search engine spiders to decipher the structure of your blog easily.
Clean up your templates
You will most likely have a lot of CSS and JavaScript information inside your template files. You need to shift all of this into external files. This will help to maintain a clean template. Keeping these clean mean that users will find it easier to cache files upon the very first page or post load. This helps avoid subsequent downloads by users in future.

But in today’s world of search engines, most (Google) don’t use keywords because of keyword stuffing, but the value of meta description and title tag is still important and hence make sure that those two parts have your site’s keywords in them. So Think Practical . You need to research what people would type in to find you. You need to optimize each page for its own term. Add the term in your title tag, description tag, keyword tag and in the content.
