Hey, I think this is the right place for this : My site, FORadio.com is very new, less than one month, and I am very pleased with my search engine rankings so far, though I havent conciously done anything to improve them. Heres my Webalizer stats : And, although I am getting very few hits from these keywords, I have pretty high rankings in them. So, please can someone review my site and tell me what I am doing to get these rankings, or are there just few competitors in this topic? Thanks, Hecky
i m new to This stuff i just know little bit about it! i m eagerly waiting to know how to get good rankings!
Hecky you site is new so don't expect wonders just yet. You have gotten over the first hurdle of getting indexed so that's good. The great thing about WordPress blogs is how little they need SEO, a few tweaks and you'll be good to go. Looking at your blog I would use SEO friendly urls. Your post urls are foradio.com/?p=26 so making them like foradio.com/keyword/example-post.html will benefit you more. To do this use the Permalinks option in your dashboard. Make sure to read the article before changing them. I use the /%category%/%postname%/ format. When creating a post think about its title. It needs to be catchy but also use keywords that you want to target - post titles can be very powerful with the Search Engines. Get more exposure by visiting other blogs with the same interest and leave comments. You'll soon get to know other bloggers who'll end up linking to you at some point. Dont be afraid to link out with your posts, people will return the favour.
Thanks for the great info! It really helped and I will change my way of blogging. I have updated the permalinks aswell!
As gooooogle seems totally obsessed with blogs now you definitely made a good choice using Wordpress to build your site! As said previously, make sure you get your keywords into the post title and also the body of the post, and hit those other blogs like digg, Technorati and even things like YouTube (or any social networking site), setting up usernames with your chosen keywords, then funnel those links back to your site. This is probably the easiest and quickest way to get traffic and increase pagerank and trust. Don't, whatever you do though, get too spammy or you will find that your pages quickly go into the supplemental index and you will lose all of that hard earned trust! Search Engine Optimisation is most of the time like walking a tightrope over some very pointy swords... small steps and try not to sneeze!
