Useful SEO tips for WordPress Blog users

Hello friends !!!

I am not a master of SEO but yesterday i found some SEO tips. So I want to share with you.

First of all SEO means Search Engine Optimazation.

If you want that your site become top in google search engine, then you have to do SEO of your site or blog.

I read some tips and i want to share with you.

1 – Optimize your title tag

In terms of SEO, the title tag is one of the most important things: In fact, the title appears as a link in search engines results and social bookmarking sites. Unfortunely, most WordPress themes displays the title tag in a non-optimized way. I had recently written a tutorial here at Cats Who Code to obtain a reallySEO-friendly title tag.

2 – Use the correct H tag structure (h1, h2, h3..)

When I download free WordPress themes, I’m often scared to see how badly the H structure is used: h2 are everywhere. In order to get the best SEO results possible, you should use the correct structure:

• h1 for the post title
• h2 for inside titles
• h3 for inside subtitles
• and so on…

3 – Install the “ALL In One SEO Pack” plugin

In my opinion, All In One SEO Pack is one of the best ever WordPress plugins: It allows you to enable meta descriptions and keywords, avoid duplicate content by noindexing pages as such as categories or tags, and tweak titles.

4 – Create a robot.txt file

Duplicate content can really hurt your blog rankings. One of the best things against duplicate content is to create a robots.txt file.
robots.txt is a simple text file, containing instruction for search engines (follow that link, don’t index this directory, and so on…) and uploaded on your server root.
A good robots.txt file can be found here. There’s also a great exemple in Kyle Eslick’s Success With WordPress ebook.

5 – Content is Main thing

This is the bottom line of SEO. I always try to write the articles on those topics of web technology which might be people are looking for.Furthermore, create a timeless content so that people come and read the same post in future as well. Always write for the readers not for the search engines otherwise people may come at your post from search engine but will not read your blog in future.

6 -Put main keywords in Title and Meta Descritption

Search engine gives much more priority to the keyword in page title and Meta Description. So always try to put the possible search keywords in title and meta description. Furthermore, never put the name of the blog combined page title of that particular post in the title of the page, it may dilute the strength of the page title .Finally, Search engine gives less priority to Meta keyword but never ignore them.

7 – Use XML sitemaps pluggings

XML sitemaps is the plugging which creates the site maps for the various search engine. When you post a new article then it creates the site map for major search engine like google, msn and yahoo.When a search engine spider visits your website they first look for the site map which contains the links to be visited in that website.

8 – Put Post title Premalink Structure

Always use the premalink structure which contains the name of post like http://phpgenious.com/username-availability-chacker-in-ajax-and-php-using-jquery/ not like http://phpgenious.com/p?=123. The Search engine gives more values to that page if the keyword found in the URL.
