SEO for wordpress

WordPress is by far the most advanced open source blog system and being that, it only makes since that it had turned to be the most popular blog system among webmasters and SEO experts.

WordPress can be fully customize in every way possible – from designs through file structure to SE friendly urls.

Everything is possible with wordpress, so how to make the best out of it?

Well these are the things you need to keep in mind when writing any page – Relevant title, use of correct HTML tags (including Alt text, Headings[H1,H2,H3….], Bold, Lists), inner linking and correct tags (categories).

How to do all these things with WordPress? Use the following manual!

  1. Choose a design
    1. Make sure your design includes all the elements you have planned for your blog.
    2. If you plan to put adsense code, affiliate banners or any other advertisements – make sure the wordpress design / template you choose have a space in a location that could convert well for you.
  2. Permalinks –> in the WP-Admin panel of wordpress under Options you’ll see a the tag “permalinks” – this tag will help you choose how they way the urls of your posts will show up – this effects the htaccess file of the wordpress. It is my recommendation that your put the name of your post in the url, as the title is probably your prefered keyword for that page. You can do that by simply putting /%postname%/ in the “Custom, specify below ” option.
  3. Update services – on every post you make wordpress can ping many services for you, notifying them on your post and by doing so giving your posts more exposure, more traffic and eventually more links – this is the most updated list I have if you have more services which do not appear here please comment and I will add them.

SEO for blogs

The get indexed much more frequently due to their frequent content update rate and thanks to the Web 2.0 social networks get high exposures and better traffic.

There are several big players in the Blog industry: Google with www.blogger.com, WordPress – open source CMS for blogs & blog.com which is the most limited blog interface of them.

Both blogger & WordPress give access to the post and blog code so you can adjust the urls of the blog to be search engine friendly and costumize the inner links and have costum made templates applied on them.

The major advantage of WordPress over Blogger and any other blog CMS (Content Management System) is with its addons – The addons option that gives the advantage to Firefox with Firefox addons is what gives the advantage to WordPress over the others.
