While developers have flocked to using WordPress as their blogging platform of choice, it’s often overlooked as a content management platform for non-blog sites.  WordPress allows you to create pages that are automatically are added to the sites’ navigation bar and can be customized by a PHP programmer to handle just about any task you’d want to accomplish with a site.  Free themes and plugins can help reduce programming and design costs immensely, and with a little work WordPress can be customized to automate many of the most arduous SEO tasks.  The result is a powerful and easy to use search engine friendly publishing platform that eliminates the majority of both upfront and ongoing SEO work.

Since WordPress is already very standards compliant, you and your programmer don’t need to worry about proper HTML formatting – that’s all taken care of for you.  There are, however, a few simple steps that should be taken to turn your WordPress site into the ultimate search-optimized site.

You can download all of the themes and plugins mentioned below from the WordPress site or by doing a quick Google search.

Create Unique Title Tags
Search Engine Optimization firm SEOmoz recently polled 37 of the best SEO’s about what factors influence Google’s algorithm. The NUMBER ONE factor influencing a high ranking was “Keyword Use in Title Tag”.  For that reason alone you want your Title Tag to include the most relevant keywords related to your post.  Unfortunately WordPress defaults to having your site title as the first thing in your Title Tag.  Ideally you’d have a customizable page title show up first.

For example, if your company named Cool Designs is located in New York and has a Web Design page, the Title Tag “New York City Web Design – Cool Designs” is more likely to rank high for NYC-related web design queries than a page that has “Cool Designs – Web Design” as the Title Tag.  Fortunately WordPress has a SEO Title Tag plugin that allows you to customize each Title Tag.

Turn on Permalinks
The default WordPress post or page has a permanent link that looks like http://www.yoursite.com/?p=123. This is what’s called a dynamic URL - a URL that uses variables in the URL to determine the page content.  In this case the “p” variable determines what is shown when the page is loaded.  And while dynamic URLs are efficient for programming, they aren’t exactly search engine or user friendly.

Years ago search engines had trouble indexing dynamic URLs.  That’s not necessarily the case anymore (although you might as well remove all doubt), but static URLs like http://www.yoursite.com/keyword-filled-post-title/ still offer several advantages.  The primary advantage is the cleanliness of the URL, which really has nothing at all to do with search rankings.  A URL with real words in it (as opposed to numbers and question marks) is much more enticing for people to click on when search results are returned, and consequently is much easier for them to remember when re-visiting your site.  Having relevant keywords from your post in your URL can also have a slight impact in boosting your rankings for those key words.

This change can be done with URL rewriting.  Normally doing this requires quite a bit of programming effort.  Not with WordPress.  Just go to Options -> Permalinks and change your default structure to the date and name based structure.

Create Sitemaps
Both HTML sitemaps (a page that lists links to every other page on your site) and XML sitemaps (a file that lists all of the pages on your site for search engine spiders) can aid immensely in getting every page on your site indexed by all of the search engines.  Automating each type of sitemap usually requires a few hours of programming for most sites.  Of course, WordPress has a HTML sitemap plugin and a XML sitemap plugin that does all of the work for you.  After creating the XML sitemap, be sure to submit it to Google and Yahoo to access extensive crawling information about your site.

Install Analytics
All of the traffic in the world isn’t worth very much if you aren’t converting any of it to sales, leads, newsletter signups, or whatever the goal of your site may be.  Google Analytics has become the premiere analytics software because of its simple and customizable interface, breadth of features, and price (free).  In addition to the normal important analytics metrics – visitors, unique visitors, page views, new/returning visitors, traffic sources, most viewed content, etc   – Google Analytics has goal tracking and e-commerce revenue tracking so you can see exactly where each conversion is coming from.  After signing up for an account, the Google Analytics plugin for WordPress will have you up and running in minutes.

If you also use WordPress for its blogging capabilities, you’ll want to install the Sociable plugin and sign up for a Feedburner account to make sure you get the most out of your blog.  Sociable allows people to submit your posts to social bookmarking sites like Digg, del.icio.us, Furl, Technorati, reddit, and StumbleUpon, which can be VERY effective for promoting extremely viral sites and articles.  Feedburner (www.Feedburner.com) offers a plethora of advancements to your RSS feed for your posts, but from a SEO standpoint the most important thing is to configure it to automatically ping search engines and blog directories.  This ensures that your posts always get indexed, and usually gets them indexed fast.

There you have it – a perfectly optimized site using WordPress and other free tools in about a hundredth of the time it would take you if you built it from scratch!

A scraper site is a website that pulls all of its information from other websites using web scraping. In essence, no part of a scraper site is original. A search engine is not an example of a scraper site. Sites such as Yahoo and Google gather content from other websites and index it so you can search the index for keywords. Search engines then display snippets of the original site content which they have scraped in response to your search.

In the last few years, and due to the advent of the Google Adsense web advertising program, scraper sites have proliferated at an amazing rate for spamming search engines. Open content, Wikipedia, are a common source of material for scraper sites.

from the main article at Wikipedia.org

Now it should be noted, that having a vast array of scraper sites that host your content may lower your rankings in Google, as you are sometimes perceived as spam. So I recommend doing everything you can to prevent that from happening. You won’t be able to stop every one, but you’ll be able to benefit from the ones you don’t.

Things you can do:

Include links to other posts on your site in your posts.

Include your blog name and a link to your blog on your site.

Manually whitelist the good spiders (google,msn,yahoo etc).

Manually blacklist the bad ones (scrapers).

Automatically blog all at once page requests.

Automatically block visitors that disobey robots.txt.

Use a spider trap: you have to be able to block access to your site by an IP address…this is done through .htaccess (I do hope you’re using a linux server..) Create a new page, that will log the ip address of anyone who visits it. (don’t setup banning yet, if you see where this is going..). Then setup your robots.txt with a “nofollow” to that link. Next you much place the link in one of your pages, but hidden, where a normal user will not click it. Use a table set to display:none or something. Now, wait a few days, as the good spiders (google etc.) have a cache of your old robots.txt and could accidentally ban themselves. Wait until they have the new one to do the autobanning. Track this progress on the page that collects IP addresses. When you feel good, (and have added all the major search spiders to your whitelist for extra protection), change that page to log, and autoban each ip that views it, and redirect them to a dead end page. That should take care of quite a few of them.

It might be too late if you have already created a blog, but if you start a new one, you should choose a domain name which will contain the keywords you are targeting. For example, if you want to rank highly on the search engines for ‘dog training tips’, then it may be a good idea to include ‘dog training’ somewhere in your domain name. This will make your site appear more relevant to the search engines.

2. Use Your Keywords In Your Text

Try to add your main keywords into the body of your text. Don’t pepper your text incessantly with your keywords because the search engines will think you are trying to trick them, but do add your main keywords a few time into the text. This further increases your blog’s relevance with the search engines.

3. Use Keywords In Your Anchor Text Links

When posting comments on other blogs or posting in forums, include your keywords in your links if you wish to advertise them. For example, you’d want your link to show ‘dog training tips’. Anchor text links are one of the main ways to shoot up the search engine rankings.

4. Exchange Links With Relevant Blogs

Whenever you are reading blogs which are relevant to yours, try to find the owner’s contact information and contact him or her, asking if they would like to exchange links with your site. This is a win-win situation as it benefits both.

Blog directory sites are essentially specialized search sites that focus exclusively on blogging. You can think of them as mini-Googles only for blogs. This is very useful as it allows the blogs to be found without forcing the searcher to wade through non-blogging sites. There are various features on each of these directories, but the basic mission is same. Help bloggers be found. Most offer a search function. Many offer peer rating. You will often see a “leader board” that lists the most popular blogs. This is a great place to be if you have a high-traffic site because you will get free advertising for as long as you remain in the lead. The more advanced directory sites offer services to help you market your feed (RSS or ATOM).

Finally, we are starting to see the emergence of the directory of blog directories. Yes, this sounds a little circular, but given that there are over 200 blog directories in Google today, this is becoming necessary. Think of the directory of blog directories as a meta blog directory. For the blogger just starting out, these are a fantastic place to start. Working with a directory of blog directories will save hours of research and forum time and allow the writer to get to the sites where they can register for free. Here are 2 to get you started:

1) www.blogupper.com claims to have over 250 directories listed. They have a nice pop-up that shows you a thumbnail of the site before you go there. Additionally, they have the list nicely sorted by those that are free and those directories that cost money.

2) www.blogskinny.com has a similar list. It is the only site that offers a free tracking tool that will remember which directories you’ve been to, will email you when new directories are located, and gives you a drop-down to provide feedback on the directory for other users. They will also give you free advertising for your blog if you make it through the entire list as an incentive.

In summary, the number of blog directory sites has grown to the point where a directory of blog directories is now an essential tool for the beginning blogger. I foresee in the future that this entire process will be automated. Given the current tools available, I see no reason that automated submission to blog directories couldn’t be done with RSS feeds. Given the rate of change in the blogosphere, I’m sure that nifty software that does just this is right around the corner.

Let’s look at four ways which will help you to get an ever-increasing flow of traffic to your blog.

1. Write Articles And Post Them To Article Directories

Web site owners are always looking for content for their sites, and article directories exist to provide that content. Write several articles, and post them to article directories for others to use.

Vital: spend some time crafting an effective “Bio Box”. This encourages people to actually visit your blog. However, don’t use the space for a bio. The people reading your article need a reason to visit your blog, so rather than telling them about you, tell them what great information you have waiting for them on your blog - give them reasons to click your links.

2. Post To Your Blog Every Day - The More Content, The More Traffic

The more pages (blog posts) on your blog, the more opportunities you have to be found via the search engines, so don’t stint on creating interesting content for your blog. Try to post to your blog every day. If that’s not possible, post at least a couple of times a week.

3. Ping Religiously - Set Up A Ping List In Your Blog

“Pinging” sends a message to blogging servers that you’ve updated your blog, and most blogging platforms have lists of these servers built in. Check out your blog’s configuration (see the Help file) to check which services your blog is already pinging when you make a post.

There are lots of pinging services, do a search for them. You can beef up your own ping list in your blog, but don’t be excessive - you don’t want to be accused of spamming.

4. Link, Link, Link! The More You Link, The More Traffic You Get

Link to other blogs and Web sites as appropriate. Your aim is to become known in your particular niche, and when you link to others, they will often link to you, which brings you traffic.

4. Use Social Bookmarking Sites - But Don’t Overdo it

It seems as if there’s a new social bookmarking site being launched every day, and these sites can provide great back-links for your blog.

When you write a great post, bookmark it on several sites. These sites are very popular, and they help people to find your content.

So there you have it - four ways to get traffic to your blog fast. You’ll get fresh readers and subscribers almost instantly.

1) Be Owner of your Domain - none of this freebie rubbish. If you want a decent listing, you need to be hosted on a proper server with a proper domain name. The most it will cost you is £100 a year, so get rid of that freebie ISP web space now, OK?

2) Redirection? Indirection - not only do redirects and splash pages annoy your visitors, but they annoy the search engines too. At best they’ll make the robot spider ignore you, at worst, they’ll get you banned. GET RID OF THEM.

3) Text, Text, Text. Yes, your fully Flashed up site, or your fantastic front page graphic looks great. Really great. Just a shame no-one is going to see it, don’t you think? Google can’t index it properly, so what’s the point? Your pages need text, so get writing.

4) Great navigation - we all know that men don’t like to ask for directions, right? Then I’m guessing Google is a guy, because neither does he. Help the little guy out by making sure that your navigation is clear and obvious, and there are no scary dead ends (he’s not much good at 3 point turns, either)

5) Titles are King - just like those poor people that buy a Lordship, each page of your site is yearning for a title. And not just any title, oh no. Does the front page of your site actually WANT to be called “Home Page”? Of course not!! He wants to be called something grand and important, and above all, useful. So think about the titles of each of your pages - they’re more important than you think.

6) META is Better - OK, some people say that META tags are old news and don’t count anymore. Well, I’m saying that they’re wrong. So there. Include a META description and keywords tag in every page of your site. Why? Because I tell you to, that’s why!

7) Be Intent on Content - ok, ok, some short sighted readers could read that as saying ‘be incontinent’, but I’m sticking with it. This is probably one of the most important things I’m going to say to you, so come closer… no, closer… IF THE PHRASES YOU WANT TO BE HIGH FOR AREN’T IN YOUR CONTENT, YOU WON’T GET LISTED FOR THEM!!!!. Ahem…. sorry, got a bit carried away there. But it’s true.
The Links Effect - this is no revelation, we’ve known for ages that links to your site help drive you up the listings. So off you all went, and signed up to a million link sites, swapped links furiously, and then wondered why it did you no good. It’s simple; a good linking campaign is like great sex. You take it slowly, make sure it’s focused on great results, and choose your partners wisely. Jumping on anyone and everyone is rarely satisfactory. Qualities, not quantity, remember?

9) Map it out - are you using Google Sitemaps yet? No? Why on earth not? Oh, because no-one has told you about them? That’s because people like me want to keep the information to themselves. Google sitemaps is a Google run project that allows you to find out so much about how Google sees your site. There’s a whole article on sitemaps on its way so I won’t say anything else here but go to http://sitemap.google.com and sign up.

10) Track and Change - so you want to be in Google, but you’re not using Google Analytics? You want to be in Google but you’re not tracking your listings, changing and tweaking your pages regularly and testing the results? Then you don’t want to be in Google that much, now do you?

So there you go, ten steps to Google Heaven.

Easy, right?

So, right now, what are you thinking?

* “Wow, what a great article, that’s really helped me!”

* “That’s rubbish, it’s no different to any other article I’ve read on the subject”

* “But how does it relate to MY website, it’s too vague”

The chances are you’re thinking either number 2 or 3, or a combination of the two (of course, some of you will be still be wondering how I managed to relate a linking campaign to sex, but that’s because I have a certain type of audience…)

Let me tell you this - if you follow all of the steps above and work out how to make them fit your website, you WILL get better listings in Google. I guarantee it. If you don’t, I’ll give you your money back. OK, OK, I know its cost you nothing, but you get the picture.

But if that’s not enough for you, if you want more, and to have the whole process personalised for YOUR website, with step by step guides, screenshots, examples and advice, then I can do that too.

11.Make sure your page code is not bigger than 100 K.Search engine bots only look at the code, not the pictures to? determine page size.

12.At the bottom of each page use menus as text links.

13.Make sure you have 404 page.

14.Make sure to have a site map page.

1. My no.1 thing that bought me so much success with blogging is that I blog very often! In fact when I was free I can blog like 5 times a day. And I was surprised the number of traffic I can to my website.

But you if seriously have no time you can always blog at least once every 3 days. But in general the more you blog the more exposure you have for your blog.

2. Another guide I would suggest for new people is to ask people with high page rank to exchange links with you. This will help you a lot when Google index and rank your page. The more high page rank pages linked to you the chances of you getting rank high would be easier

3. Another one of my top Blogging Guide is people always forget to register with Technorati.com. Do you know if you can rank high in Technoarati.com you will always get traffic when you post something on your blog itself.

4. Here is another must do Blogging Guide which is to register your blog with feedburner.com. If you haven’t done so.. please do.

5. Although I know a lot of people saying Blogger is easier to use and so, I still prefer Wordpress compared to other interfaces. The main reason is because there are 3000 over free templates to download for FREE and 1,000+ plugins to enhance your blog which blogger does not have

But you will need to have your own webhost and register a domain which is not free =P But the wordpress is free to install =)

6. Another one of my great blogging guide is the discovery of exchange of links. You can go to Google search for link exchanges and exchange links with friends.

But you would want to only exchange links that are related to your trade dont any how change links with people. The more related they are the better it is.

7. Spend time to make your blog search engine friendly, this topic is not easy for beginners but if you really spend the time on it you will see results.

8. The most important of all the Blogging Guide is to always always STAY FOCUS. Do not the king of all trade of master of none.
