WordPress SEO tips

Brace yourself, because this is where things in the Wordpress world can get just a bit tricky, so down, grab a cup of coffee, and pay attention. Search engine optimization or SEO is the process that can improve the volume and quality of traffic that comes to your site in the form of search engine results. Say your Wordpress page is looking a bit grim, you can literally see tumbleweeds blowing across your screen. Bottom line is, you are not receiving enough search engine hits to your Wordpress page.

Let’s start with a basic and simple tip, how does your title look? If you were to come to your page, would you simply stop at the title and turn around? You need to grab your titles with a bang in your title! It needs to be short and sweet, but grab their attention at the same time. When you post your titles be sure to use the most relevant keywords from your title. This way you are most likely to receive more traffic based on the HTML tags that your title is wrapped in. It is simple, it is all about the level of relevance your keywords and your tags hold within your page. Traffic, traffic, traffic! One of the best SEO tips to help receive traffic is to visit and leave feedback for other well known blog pages. Leave your mark, your signature with your comments, post a link to one of your blogs that relate to the blog you just commented on. This will enable your page for an increase in traffic, we all love to read what other people say don’t we?

Ensure that your Wordpress blog actually focuses on a specific topic. Do not treat this like a journal or any old thing like that, you do not want to just be scattered around. That is clutter you do not want, and clutter that people do not want to read about. Choose a topic you are knowledgeable about and stick to that one topic, link your blogs together so that they continually flow. This is a great way to open up the possibility of developing your own following from other readers or fellow bloggers. Another way to grab your readers is by adding images into your blog posts. We all loved picture books as kids, and when we read we like to associate what we read with material appropriate images. This also gives you blog visibility when using image search engines. Be traditional and revert to simpler SEO techniques by using important keywords in your title and blog. Bold these keywords and create links to your blog. Installing the Wordpress all-in-one SEO plug-in will cover most of your missed bases. The SEO plug-in inserts the blog name after your post title which gives your titles more distinction. The plug-in also allows you to add “noindex” to your category or tag pages to keep from creating any and all duplicate context. Be sure to keep on top of your blog and your posts, update!

Maintaining a blog is usually a weekly, if not daily task. This will enable you to achieve top rankings in a relatively short amount of time.

These are all tips that are simple to utilize and take advantage of the, so perhaps instead of giving up on your blog, keep the mindset that there is hope for future traffic and future readers. Use the plug-ins that Wordpress has to offer, and use them to your full advantage! Read fellow bloggers content and comment, while stamping your name in the comment box as well, this may be sneaky but it’s not really, we all do it, putting a ink to your blog will help you receive more traffic, which is what you are shooting for isn’t it? Keep your titles short and catchy, just enough information to get the reader’s attention, so they will hopefully stay long enough to read, and perhaps even give you a bonus by leaving a comment. There are many ways to enhance your blog, and SEO is a great way to do that as long as you listen and learn and gather as much advice and tips that you possibly can.

Backlinks can be acquired with just a little knowledge and hard work. In this article, you will read four great link building tips to get as many backlinks as possible within a short period of time which will help your website climb up the rankings and get you more traffic.

Articles

The very first thing I suggest is to start writing articles. Every successful website these days have written at least 30 articles and submitted them to different article directories. Remember not to submit duplicate articles to several directories as Google does not like duplicate content and so, they are not indexed. Adding your link to these articles create a backlink every time you submit an article. And remember these are backlinks which add more value to your website. I recommend to stick to the most popular and higher ranked article directories which will help you get backlinks , ranking and immediate traffic.

Blog Comments

Another way to get backlinks is through blog comments. All you have to do is find blogs of similar niche to yours by using Google blog search, and write comments. You may also build links with Google alerts. Remember to comment by following the discussion as most of the comments have to be approved by the owner before they are posted. Keep in mind that the backlinks are worth more only if they come from a website related to yours. I suggest you to write at least 50 words in the comment and always try and follow the topic. This is the only thing that’s going to differentiate you from a spammer and get you more traffic.

Reciprocal Links

Search engines don’t like the websites that are composed of hundred percent reciprocal links. But having at least thirty percent reciprocal links is a good idea as the search engines look positively on this and believe you are a real webmaster and not a spam bot. And remember to get all you links from related websites. The importance of one way backlinks is more but reciprocal links also get your website a lot of targeted traffic.

Backlink Checkers

You should always use backlink checkers to see what works so good for your successful competitors. Just go to Google and type “backlink checkers”. Then enter your competitors web url and check who links to them. Now you can clearly see where your competitor is getting links from. You can also try and get backlinks from the same websites. As this helps your competitor, it will also do wonders for your website.
