SEO for Wordpress
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed, to keep up to date with all the latest blogging news and tips.
I have had many people ask me about the best way to go about SEO on a WordPress blog/template. I could sit here and write a massive post which lists everything I believe that you need to do in order to SEO your WordPress blog, but that would make little sense, as posts such as those have been done many times over. Instead I am going to provide you with some of my favourite SEO for WordPress links.
I did alot of research into the field of SEO for WordPress before I started this blog, as I wanted to be sure I could get good search engine rankings for my blog. I now feel that I have a very good knowledge of SEO and have given advice to many blogs to help them raise their search engine traffic, with great success.
I have picked 3 sites that really helped me in making sure that my wordpress blog was in a good position in terms of SEO, I know I still have several adjustments to make, but on the whole my blog is getting a good amount of search engine traffic, which is good for a very new blog.
Here are the 3 sites I have picked that provide a great insite into SEO for WordPress:
- Ultimate WordPress SEO Tips - dech.co.uk - Provides a good basis for starting SEO on your WordPress blog.
- SEO for WordPress - jimwestergren.com - This website goes into a lot more depth, and provides code examples to apply to your template.
- WordPress SEO Masterlass for Competitive Niches - andybeard.eu - This is my favourite of the three, it uses a great case study, and provides some great information on SEO for WordPress. I would say that this is a ultimate guide to WordPress SEO.
I hope that you find those sites as usuful as I have, please feel free to leave any feedback below.

Hey Davids,
This is my first post at your blog,
What i feel, SEO for Blog and websites are quite similar, just don’t use any techniques which Google hates.
For any blog regularly posting is necessary to be there in top.

Posting regular Quality content is good. Dont post up content for the sake of it.
SEO for blogs and websites are similar, but for blogs there are usually alot more angles to cover.

David, you are 100% right, To do SEO for Blog is just like to meet an angel on earth.
Only problem with the blog is only indexing and de indexing.
I don’t know why my unique post is being index and de index again and again. so i left blogging. Because i don’t have patience.

You need to use your robots.txt file to control the search engine spiders, then tell them where they have to go to find your unique content.
I rank highly for all my post titles.
