SEO for Blogs (Wordpress in particular)

Besides installing the wordpress seo plugin and google sitemaps, what are the best seo methods for wordpress?

Thanks.

 

Hi,

You should keep SEO in mind in all your posts (that means using Latent Semantic Indexing), try to use a template in CSS that keeps the content on top, unless you want to develop a brand don't repeat the name of the apge on all page's titles.

 

Submit your each post to deep linking directories and social bookmarking,blog commenting etc. will help.

 

Robots Meta is another good plug-in.

Beyond that, make good use of categories and tags, and include a tag cloud on your site.

 

Use the regular and same boring method for wordpress seo.

 

Thanks for the tips guys.

 

I'm surprised you haven't read my WordPress SEO Checklist post on the SitePoint forums yet.

 

Interesting read. Any reason you don't put it on DP too?

 

Because I'm going to clean it up and put it on a Web site I'll be launching soon.

 

I am using GoogleSitemap plugin, plus All in one seo pack. Note though, try to strip the page title from posts, pages, etc. Your post should have a structure like this yourblog.com/post-title-is-here.html or something. Try to keep the tags/keywords fewer. That should be a good start. I do not know about other plugins for Wordpress that are as good.
