SEO For WordPress

I am looking for someone that can give me a hand with mod_rewrite for WordPress. Or any tools or articles that someone may know of that can help me in SEOing my WordPress blog. Please any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Most themes are already SEO'd pretty well, but what more are you trying to do? You can set your SEO-friendly URLs to postname + id or something similar in the admin section without having to modify your .htaccess at all.

 

the single largest wordpress common seo problem is that titles are constructed like:

Blog Name - Blog Entry Title

other than that things are mostly fine.

you can do a lot of mod rewriting automatically from within the wordpress config.

 

I am sorry. I just now noticed that the urls are not in the post number and Id format. They are actually nicely changed. Do you have any suggestions for me on how to SEO this site:

This is how my links are showing:

Might help, need a little manual tweaking the .htaccess file

Thanks for that. Reps Given.

 

Just a couple of quick tips suggestions

Here is a page explaining how you can change your permalinks structure with wordpress.

This plugin is also good for optimizing your titles

This plugin will allow you to add custom meta tags to posts and pages

This plugin adds links to related posts at the bottom of your posts which help the internal linking structure

 

Excellent! Gracias. Reps given.

 

Look in the wordpress plugin codex. There seems to be a plug-in for everything!!! One for titles, seperate ones for meta tags, feed management, whatever you want.

 

What dkessaris has suggested is great, especially the related posts plugin. When you have more posts I would set that to 5-10 links. That will generate hundreds or thousands of links 'voting' for each of your posts. Google loves it.

Also try adding a sitemap. This plugin does it automatically.

I'd also checkout Technorati, it is a good source of traffic for blogs. This plugin lets u easily add technorati 'tags' at the bottom of the page. This brings traffic from technorati and lets you state your keywords an extra time on the page. Its better than trying to stuff them in your content.

The final thing is to use <h1> tags on your single post titles rather than on the blog title. Ive forgotton how to do it, someone should be bale to help

 

Excellent suggestions guys. Thanks a bunch.

 

How can I add meta description and keywords only to main page and leave other posts without it?

Will it work if I just put it in index.php?

thanks
