Plug In to SEO
WordPress has been hailed the emperor of online publishing platforms. One of the reasons is its ability to extend your site with Plugins.
Plugins can be viewed like extra’s on a new car. Sure, you can drive out the dealership and get from A to B quite easily. But do you have air-conditioning, navigation and an exhaust upgrade to keep you cool, on track and up to speed?
The All in One SEO Pack will do just that when it comes to optimizing your blog for search engines. To see this in action, understand what it can do for you and learn how to install it on your blog…
You’re witnessing the SEO Pack in action right now!
Page Titles
Just take a look at this browser window and notice that the title is the same as the title of this blog post. That’s one of the most important on-page ranking factors that this plugin addresses. This post is about SEO, so it makes sense to have that term in my page title for search engines to see and index.
Descriptions
Once your pages rank in search engines, you need a description to make potential visitors want to click through. Ideally you should write a description for each and every post on your blog, but being the lazy beasts we are, the SEO Pack can auto generate these for us.
Keywords
All in One SEO Pack generates keywords for your posts automatically based on your categories and post tags. You can also manually insert keywords to be included with your blog.
Duplicate content
As this may go over the heads of everyday people, “noindex” stops duplicated content by giving you the option to tell search engines to ignore your archive, category and tag pages.
And there you have it! 80% of the work done with only 20% of the effort!
