SEO For Wordpress

Agreed. Get working on building high quality, relevant backlinks to your blogs (or outsource the task if you don't know how/don't have the time).

Also, use an SEO plugin on WP (All In One SEO pack is the most popular).

You can also try this: http://www.warriorforum.com/search.php

Get all in on SEO Pack for WP, it's free and easy to use. Also make sure you configure it and "activate" it as many people actually forget... Then just power through and send as many backlinks as you can!

The search php on here does come in handy. I've managed to research several things by using it.

@ christopherNV Thanks for your info,what is the easiest way to get backlinks?
@ derekjansen thanks i have installed the plugin,also subscribed to your course in your signature.

Other than backlinks what else could i do?

In terms of SEO wordpress one of the HUGE mistakes that I see people making all the time is failing to set their permalinks to optimize for long-tail keywords of your article names.

Go to permalinks and change it to a custom structure and enter: /%postname%/

What this does is rename all of your posts to the post title. This gives the GBot a better idea of what your content is and definitely helps you rank for keywords you weren't even trying to.

My .02

Make sure you have the 'All In One SEO Pack' installed and configured for the keywords you want to rank for.

Make sure the permalinks are set to '%postname%' so that your post titles appear in your domain name.

Make sure you put your keyword in the title of each post and once per 100 words.

Build quality incoming links from web 2.0 properties and link to individual pages not just the root domain.

Hope that helps

One of the things I do, although I can 't vouch that it helps ranking at all, is use a 2-column layout with the content on the left and the navigation on the right (or at least structure the underlying code so the content comes first).

My understanding is Google spider reads from top to bottom, so it will hit my keyword focused content first, then the navigation links....

That has the added benefits of positioning the content where the users tends to focus his or her gaze first.

I do use All In One SEO to optimize my title, keywords and description.....

sorry if I out of topic

just wanna ask what is the different in SEO for wp that hosted in wordpress.com and the one in other hosting

thanks

use ALL iN ONE SEO PACK.. and makes sure to put UNIQUE TITLE, DESCRIPTION and KEYWORDS in every PAGE/POST ... and do some backlinking..

Try Jeff Johnson's wordpress SEO plug-in, works great.

If you know what you're doing get All In One SEO Pack.

Otherwise get SEO Pressor (by Daniel Tan), it's a paid plugin but it's pretty awesome.

It will score your posts and pages and give you suggestions on how to improve them.

Go after these steps; these will absolutely help in generating traffic,
The first precedence is to create smart and class content that provides information to visitor.
Suggest your blog to esteem search engines.

Use trackback too see to whom you are linked.
Make your posts in social bookmarking sites.
At the end you should not forget SEO too and exercise relevant keywords in your blog..

Hello!

I have a questions...

Can WordPress scale to handle high volume sites with lots of traffic?

So is WordPress the ultimate CMS platform for an SEO’s website?

Is there some performance benefit to putting a date/post-ID/number in the URL?

Thanks

Add an xml sitemap... helps make sure all your pages are indexed.

There are several plugins that will build and maintain your sitemaps for you (I use Google XML sitmap). Once you have an xml sitemap you can add it to your Google webmaster account to make sure all your pages get properly indexed.
