WordPress SEO Basics

Posted by Ben Kemp - January 16, 2012 - Content Management SEO, SEO Strategies

WordPress search engine optimisation (WP SEO) options abound. Whilst its difficult to select the right options from such a big range, doing so makes a difference both ease of use and to search engine results page rankings. There are also many new WordPress Design Themes that have some SEO functions included in the theme settings.

In the face of all this, how to decide what is important, how to choose wisely? Having been a WordPress user since V1.5 or so, I’ve accumulated several years of first-hand experience in WP installations, design themes and plugins extensions. WP SEO is my forte, associated with web site design and development for businesses world-wide.

The basic installation of WordPress is not aimed at delivering search engine rankings, and alot of what I see as “The Essentials of WP SEO” are not included in the core code. Regardless, a huge range of of good SEO plugins are available – the challenge lies in figuring out whcih to pick from the lists in each category.

To help you with that, I’ve just written a 2,000 word article on WordPress SEO Basics, published in full on my WordPress-specific site;

    Client Feedback

    Hello Ben Thank you for your email. You beat me to it! I have been waiting to say "thank-you and yes it's working well" until I had a replacement photo for the 1300cc car....which I haven't got yet. It is a lovely site, one that I am proud to have. Thank you for the figures on the website rankings and for the improvements they show; you have really done well. Thank you for monitoring the rankings each month Just before I opened this email a customer to whom I was signing out a car said "your new website is really good, it puts mine to shame". I tried to sell him your services but his website is a low priority for him and not likely to be a big source of business. One thing with my website is that all the reply forms come in as being from "nobody" and clicking "reply" does not find them, so I have to click on the email number they provide in the body of the form to reply to them.. is that how you intended it to be? One thing that is not included on the form is "flight number" for when they arrive; if that could be included it would be helpful, not essential but helpful. Thank you for all you have done and continue to do. If any prospective client of yours asks if they can contact someone you have worked for [as I did] please include my name in those who can provide direct feedback about your skills and service. Best wishes and Kind regards
