SEO On Wordpress – Not in Kansas Anymore

by Doug on January 28, 2009

Six of the first six most essential Wordpress SEO tactics introduced here
were new to me… make that seven out of seven. And they are so easy!

I ran across this video on Wordpress SEO within the dashboard of one of my wordpress blogs. I was going to run the video in the background while working – but soon I stopped everything I was doing, and I was taking notes on the video.

No WONDER I love my job! Every morning, it’s different – newer, faster and better!

More than just Wordpress Plugins, there are details about using social media and how to bring traffic to your blog by writing guest posts for A List bloggers.

Competing is more important than winning.

Use Google website optimizer to test your subscribe button conversion rate – provide rss and email option. Under each post, remind people to subscribe.

A one-time visitor is great, but a repeat visitor is what you really want.

So many great little tips in every sentence – I’ll have to watch this a few several times!

Why Use Wordpress

Wordpress has a bigger community at the moment which forces it to improve at a lot faster rate.

If you look at what wordpress has been doing since 2.3, 2.5, 2.6… if you see all the improvements in those releases – if you compare that to corporate CMS’s… nobody can keep up with all the stuff they’re doing.
