SEO For Wordpress

Wordpress

Wordpress - by default - is a good choice for search engine optimization since it provides a clean and powerful interface to search engines to reach the content. However after I installed and configured wordpress, I noticed that some meta tags are missing so I looked for a plugin. If you think that something is missing in Wordpress just do some googling for appropriate plugin. There is always a plugin that do the work you want, believe me. Also you can check the wordpress plugin directory. Anyway, I found the “All In One SEO Pack” plugin for wordpress, a cool plugin that you can use to add flexible meta tags to your blog. After downloading the plugin using this link, I set the home page description meta tag to “RunSEORun.com is a playground for experimenting search engine optimizatioon techniques.” and home page title tag to “Run SEO Run | Experimental Works On Search Engine Optimization”. Also I’ve set up some keywords for main page. I’ve used Google Adwords Keyword Tool to select some popular keywords realted to RunSEORun.com:
“seo, search engine optimization, search engine, search marketing, search engine marketing, web promotion, search engine ranking, web site promotion, website marketing, marketing seo”. After playing a little more, I noticed that this plugin has added a small drop down box below the “Write Post” page in admin panel. It looks like this:

Using this box you can set the page title, description and keywords of a spesific post. After noticing that I updated my previous posts to include some popular keywords using Google Adwords Keyword Tool as I did for homepage. You have to be careful about the tags you’ve added for a specific post. It seems that this plugin uses the tags you’ve provided as well as the keywords you’ve explicitly spesified as keywords meta tag. I found some duplicate keywords in meta tags after update, so I checked the list one more time. From now on I’ll only use wordpress’ default tags and not specify any keywords in plugins box.

As far as I know keywords and description meta tags are no more that valuable to search engines but I believe there is no harm in providing correct tags.
