Wordpress CMS SEO Optimization

Optimizing Wordpress Blogs Better

How to optimize a WP blog for page 1 search results? How can I improve my Wordpress blog's ranking positions in Google search? These questions are the concern of many bloggers today, in the year 2015. Days when tens of millions of blogs exist on the very competitive Internet.

The Wordpress software runs in .php and as such, it is a very flexible, low cost platform. You might buy a custom WP theme, but you don't have to. The themes designed as default themes for 2014 and 2015 are just fine! You are advised to host your own blog at a hosting site like Hostgator or Bluehost. Use your own, unique domain name that reflects your specific topic or general area of passionate interest. Or, use your brand name in the domain name.

Search engine optimization for Google, is best helped by use of the SEO by Yoast plugin for Wordpress.  This plugin will guide you in where to place your selected focus key phrase. For example, it will suggest that you place your keyword at the start of the Title Tag. Including your phrase in the meta description tag is also a brilliant idea, and in one or two minor heading tags. Within the paragraphs of text on your blog post, try not to exceed a one percent to 2% max. keyword density. If you don't know what this is, the SEO by Yoast plugin software will explain it to you.

Believe me, this is the future of Internet search. It talks about many data nodes. Geo-location by GPS and WiFi is becoming a critical factor.
