SubscribeWordpress blog engine has been famous for its SEO features. It is pretty much search engine optimized by default. No matter how good the WordPress SEo features compared to other blogging engine, it is still necessary to tweak it’s performance. By applying only simple SEO features on your wodpress engine and it’s themes, eventually you’ll boost the rank of your blog on the Search Engine.
I found the following SEO tips highly recommended for start up bloggers who want to improve their blog SERP rank.
- Use h2 tags for your post titles Use h2 tags for post titles, and h3s for sections inside your posts. I use h1 for single page display on this blog though
- Make your post titles into links On archive pages, and on permalink pages, make your post titles link to the permalink page.
- Optimize Page Titles Your title tag should contain more than just your blog’s name, throw-in some keywords. Try this format: “My Cool Post title – TheBlog.”
- Change Your Permalink Structure – If you use WordPress, don’t use the default permalink style! Pick the best option for your purposes, and stick with it. The default ?p=37 permalinks will always redirect to the ones you specifically set.
- Optimize Post Slugs – WordPress, offer a “Post Slug” feature that allows you to tweak the URL of the post. By default permalink URLs are somewhere along the lines of “/2008/02/01/name-of-post/.” Using the Post Slug function, you can change “name-of-post” to something better, SEO-wise. Remove useless words like “of”, “the”, and the like.
- Use Meta Tags – While meta tags don’t have as much value placed on them as they used to, there still is some, and it’s a good idea to use them.
- ALT and Link Your Logo – Make sure your logo links to your blog’s homepage. This is more of a usability thing than SEO advice, but it’s still a good idea. On a SEO note, make sure you use an “alt” tag on the image, adding something such as the blog’s name to it.
