Wordpress Seo Tips
There is a wide concept in publisher’s mind that using wordpress means getting maximum traffic from search engines because wordpress is a very good CMS which hardly requires Search Engine Optimization (SEO). Well this concept is not as correct as it sounds. WordPress also requires some optimization to get max out of search engines. For this purpose i made a list of 10 Important Changes which should be a part of your wordpress blog.
Points to the sitemap in first line.
Disallow unnecessary pages, folders so search engines get to your content instead of wasting time and getting less important stuff.
Here is a sample : http://www.designzzz.com/robots.txt
This Attribute tells the search engine bots not to follow the specific link or do not share that page’s Rank with this link. This is a very important tip , you can control your site’s SEO and Page rank by just using proper nofollow attributes. Here is a post i wrote earlier which can show you how to control your page rank and seo by using nofollow. Ok, the Less Important links includes links like Read more.. , Click here etc. This can be done by editing the template files easily.
Some plugins which we use in Wordpess blogs requires a must nofollow and we never thought about that. Here is a very cool example. You are using the easy retweet plugin and Retweet buttons are shown on start of every post even on your homepage. Lets say you have 10 posts blocks on your homepage and have 10 retweet buttons on it link to twitter.com !!! that means there are ten outgoing links, you are sharing your site’s page rank and getting lesser visibility in search engine. it can be nofollow from its settings.
It is the most important part which we neglect while publishing a post. Lets take a simple example. I am about ot publish a post lets say.
10 Awesome Graphics Designs and Digital Artworks the URL would be :
www.yoursite.com/category/10-awesome-graphics-designs-and-digital-artworks
Seems pretty much alright, right? Well..here u miss about 30% of your visibility!!
A simple reason using STOP WORDS in title and URL are the worst idea u can think up of. !! AND is a stop word. About the url why make it so long using extra stuff in it like the word 10 , and etc. Trust me no one will search for your content in search engines with these words 10 graphics design. If they look for that they will search graphics designs etc.
So get rid of 10 , and from your URL. Here is how they should be:
Makes sense? well i don’t even use the category name in the URL structure to make it smaller and more powerful!
Ok, i have noticed that most of the bloggers use very tiny keywords. Well, guys small get a habit of using long tail keywords,because with them u get traffic for life time. Lets take the example of that above title post. keywords/tags which bloggers normally select are: graphics, design, digital, artworks. Why don’t you spice them up a bit to get even more traffic? If i would do it , I would use these keywords:
Graphics, Design, Digital Artworks, Graphic Designs, Digital Graphics.
I actually spread the same keywords with order and words variation!!
About meta description keep it below 160 characters and add your keywords in it as well as possible like each keyword should be mentioned at least once.
Well, I have used several plugins to test which one is good and the only plugin which satisfied me is Headspace2 SEO. I Recommend it.
Ok, this is an important part which none of us actually look at. Title and alt attributes in links plays an important role in telling search bots that what this link or image is about.
Title and alt attributes are written like this if you are unaware of it:
My site gets 10% of its traffic from Google image search!! Because I use proper alt attribute.
Consider this example!! Like the graphics design post we discussed above. Your post consists of 10 Images. That means not much text to get good ranking and visibility in search engines. So why not use alt attribute in an optimized way!! in 10 images add alt tags with picture name + keyword/tag.
For example, the image name is abcd. i will add the alt attribute as alt=”abcd design” or abcd graphics etc. That means in 10 places on your page’s source code your keywords are used! I think you get my point.
Here is a list you might consider putting in your ping section in admin>settings>Writing:

In the robots.txt file, why do you want to disallow the web-archiver bot (the last line in your sample robots.txt file)? I would think that you want to have it archived, so people can find older information that may have been lost (or so you can find old information that you may have accidentally deleted).
Thursday, March 15th, 2012 13:55
The Title and alt aspects should be first on the list, they are very important.

You might wanna nix the last comment about nofollowing — the article you link to is really, really shoddy, and the advice applies only in one specific scenario (homepage optimized for keyword ‘home’) that can stem only from poor SEO management in the first place. Anyway, point is, it’s a really bad piece of advice, and its inclusion makes me not want to take other advice from you just in case you haven’t fully checked your sources.
Monday, January 16th, 2012 04:51
Great tips! I learned things that I never knew before. Thank you for sharing it with us.

its a awesome tutorial
thanks
keep it up….
Saturday, November 12th, 2011 06:06
What would you suggest be the best way to include links on other websites that you administer. For someone with a slightly limited budget, it is critical to have links pointing back to your site but regardless of your budget, aren’t there easy ways to do this without paying for links? When making links is there a convention that users should follow to achieve detection by search engines. I have seen many blog start-ups using a rel=follow by assuming it will help with SEO since the standard is rel=nofollow but I would be curious to know if including links in meta or in separate php files would be of any value. Excellent post, glad to see that you listed XML sitemaps as the #1, I think that this is a huge oversight for many websites.
Monday, September 19th, 2011 18:30
Nice tutorial . On my website, I have more than one sitemap file (one for wordpress and like nine for buddypress), is it advisable to add all the sitmaps or just the sitemap.xml for wordpress.

On your tip 4, shortening your URL, you can automate that process by using a plugin called SEO Slug

Really interesting post. Sorry about my english, tanks you a lot about this exelent post. The SEO is really important, i make some changes in my blog now… :D
nice blog.!
Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 23:00
Love the list of ping engines and the fact that you prefer headspace and not all in one seo pack.
We are fewer and fewer users of this great plugin.
I will go on reading about the nofollow home page. You’ve got me wondering.
Saturday, October 31st, 2009 03:43
Your page rank theory is completely wrong! Google divides pagerank out on all links, follow and nofollow. for example, If you have a PR 10, 10 pages and 5 with no follow, the 5 pages that do pass pr will have 1 point each, not 2. All you are doing with no follow is “wasting” your pr rather than passing it. Your own pages do not benifit and you are not keeping page rank for yourself. Here is Matt Cutts, from Google, telling you so… http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/pagerank-sculpting/
no follow is to be used only on things you may not trust… not everything.
Saturday, February 27th, 2010 05:11
do we use nofollow or not?
Monday, October 19th, 2009 03:30
Great advice on the Robot.txt, Best i have seen.. should explain if you use the XML map to disable Virtual Robot.txt ? regardless… EXCELLENT! thank you

Sunday, October 18th, 2009 23:50
hiz, ok well both of the plugins are good and get the job done. As for me i prefer using headspace. no such comparison which differentiate them much from each other just that headspace makes things alot of automated.
Saturday, October 17th, 2009 23:03
Can I just ask you why you disallow /about or /contact-us ?
Sunday, October 18th, 2009 23:48
hey , yes. the thing is disalow/nofollow are to tell the search bots that these pages are not or less important in this website. in the example case. its my site’s robots.txt so i dont feel the contact and about page an important part of a design blog to be indexed in google search results. so instead of going and indexing it why not index useful pages.
Saturday, October 17th, 2009 19:08
Good tips. Very useful.

ok as dainis suggested using google xml sitemaps yes its very good plugin but i personally use a stand alone sitemap generator software which generates sitemaps in xml, txt and html and automatically submits them to google, bing, yahoo etc. its of about 25$ but the price worths it.You can find it over here http://www.xml-sitemaps.com
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 16:23
Excellent article, I agree with your ideas and that WP is really great CMS for SEO if you use it well, there are a lot of plugins to increase this, so let’s do all this tips.

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 18:08
ok as for this thing, now google support optimizing your pages for Search Engines if u will look in google blog.
They have given new attribute to the nofollow , firstly it was for telling google dont index this page but now it means that share my current page’s Page Rank with the following link page.
If u want to read more u can take a look at this article i wrote about nofollow when google updated its policy

Ps. You might want to make some words italic or bold in parts where you mention keywords and url words. Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish the sentence from keyword etc.
Thursday, October 15th, 2009 16:15
aah yes i agree. missed this part tho it helps a little
Tuesday, October 13th, 2009 00:14
All the sitemap generating plugins automatically update the sitemaps, so you don’t need to ever update them. Did you mean “submit” them to the SE’s? I wouldn’t recommend that, but instead just make sure your blog is pinging out to ping-o-matic every time to publish a new blog. Good tips though.

The Title and alt aspects should be first on the list, they are very important.

In the robots.txt file, why do you want to disallow the web-archiver bot (the last line in your sample robots.txt file)? I would think that you want to have it archived, so people can find older information that may have been lost (or so you can find old information that you may have accidentally deleted).

You might wanna nix the last comment about nofollowing — the article you link to is really, really shoddy, and the advice applies only in one specific scenario (homepage optimized for keyword ‘home’) that can stem only from poor SEO management in the first place. Anyway, point is, it’s a really bad piece of advice, and its inclusion makes me not want to take other advice from you just in case you haven’t fully checked your sources.

On your tip 4, shortening your URL, you can automate that process by using a plugin called SEO Slug

Great read, optimizing the wordpress blog can be tricky without the right tools, ive noticed that google has shifted ranking and pr to sites that run faster so optimizing and making a site or blog faster is more important then ever….great post will save.
