WordPress SEO Optimization

If you rank high in Search Engines for high volume keyword phrases you’ll get steady stream of targeted traffic. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) comes down to 3 simple areas that you need to master, 3 corner stones if you will:

• Keyword research
• On page optimization
• Off page optimization or Link Building

Just by getting these 3 things right, the odds of success are stacked in your favor. But by getting even one of them wrong, the odds of success are stacked against you, and it’s easy to waste all of your time and energy on projects that never have a chance of bringing any substantial results.

After enhancing overall look of your blog with a great theme, it is time to apply couple adjustments to optimize your website for search engines and make it more user friendly.

Changing default WordPress settings

Step 1 – Change Permalink Structure

When you go to “Settings > Permalinks”, you’ll notice that the default permalink is http://site.com/?p=123. This structure isn’t a good idea for SEO, but it also doesn’t tell your visitors anything about the link they’re visiting.

We’re going to change this to a custom structure using only the post title (http://YourBlog.com/title-of-article) which will provide some keywords for search engines as well as giving your readers something to go on. To change your permalink structure choose Custom Structure and paste /%postname% in the box.
