SEO for blogs?

I have a wordpress blog, I've set up a couple of SEO Plugins.
The site has meta keywords and stuff like that.

What's the most important onpage SEO I need to do?

And what, other than link building, off-site SEO do I need to do?

 

For wordpress, off the top of my head -

Change the way the title tags work.
Change the archives. By default they're pretty bad & lots of duplicate content.
Trim down the meta tags and some unnecessary single page code.
Use lots of tags. Even better if you make tag archive pages.
A sitemap page that directly links every post is sometimes nice, or mini ones for each category. Easily done with a template tag.
Use the "more" in your longer posts. Cuts down on duplicate content.

 

the best SEO plug-in for Wordpress is all-in-one seo.

The most important onpage SEO that you need to do is optimize the " META TITLE" "DESCRIPTION" and "KEYOWRDS".

If you do offsite you need to build quality links fro your site

 

Thank you, all I need to do now is link building.

 

Link building is the part of off-page SEO. For that you need to perform

1. Active forum participation
2. Article submission
3. Social bookmarking etc

 

All-In-One Seo plugin is the best so far to get meta, keyword and description. I suggest you to use that.

Next is link building.

Do some blog commenting on dofollow blogs.
You will be amazed on the results you get on next PR update.

 

Thank you, that's what I'm starting now.
It'd be helpfull if there was an internal PR checker that worked though lol.

 

Before doing link building I suggest to what this video first

Submit i your Blog mata tags, inter linking and put keywords in content this is on pages factor and off pages social bookmarking, some directory submission, link building, comment posting etc......

 

Just wondering, do I set a keyword as my name (anchor text) in blog posting, or can I just use my name so my comments don't get deleted.

 

You can do both.. If you can see some approved comments with with keywords you can do the same. If you cannot see keywords as title you better use your name.

 

Video wont play for me

 

Okay, thank you.

 

like everyone wa saying use the All-in-one SEO Tool... After that try to optimze your keywords at every post, make them achor links(which also helps you in SERPs)... Then link build your blog, forum posting, blog commenting and social bookmarks would help you...

 

nice information

 

I never tried creating a blog or a site in wordpress yet.
But I do promoted one and the thing that I have realized
was

- the meta title,description, and keywords (just like the ordinary on page optimization)
- easy navigation of images and editing the page (more features)

in off page: ( promotion for the site or blog)

- press release and article is good
- link exchange
- social bookmarking
- forums
