Wordpress SEO

What to change out of the box...
1.   Permalinks
2.   Titles
3.   Headings
4.   Breadcrumbs
5.   Disallow, no index content
6.   Conditional sidebar content
7.   404 page
8.   Delete default content
WARNING!


Making changes to code can go wrong really
fast!

Make sure to back everything up!
Permalinks


Get rid of parameters and numbers

/%postname%/ is probably the best all round solution

but if you want to use categories in your URL use: /%category%/%postname%/
Titles

Flip the titles
(post title)-(category name)-(site name)

Check header.php for:
<title><?php wp_title(''); ?></title>

Check the code before Google finds it!
Headings
Check your headings structure

Dive into the code for your:

single.php
category.php
page.php
home.php
index.php

                                Check the CSS code!
Breadcrumbs

Use them as they help:

• internal linking
• usability
• time on site
Disallow No Index Content
Disallow: /tag/
Disallow: /archives/
Disallow: /wp-admin/
Disallow: /wp-includes/
Noindex: /tag/
Noindex: /archives/
Noindex: /wp-admin/
Noindex: /wp-includes/
Conditional Sidebar Content


                                                       • Relevance of link
                                                       • Page Types
                                                       • Content Areas

 •   Guest post
 •   Article marketing

 •   Manual outreach
 •   Etc.
But I’m talking about…

                 Other
                Bloggers
                           RSS
                                        Email
                                      newsletter

    Your Blog
      Post
                                      Twitter


                           Facebook

                Internal
                  links
Create a Promotion Network for your content
