WordPress is a powerful CMS and its default installation is also SEO friendly but we need to make it more optimized. Let’s start and see how we can help search engines to easily search and locate any wordpress site:
Make URL and TITLE Similar:You must remember wordings of title must match with that of URL. You can eliminate some irrelevant words from the URL if needed. By doing this your title will become search keyword for the post. And this way your post and keywords will appear in search engines index each time a user links to them. It is always good from visitors as well as owner’s perspective. Owner always like if their visitors to link to their post using title. When you make your wordpress to put title of your page or post as URL. Then these links contains keywords rooted in the URL’s. Always remember search engines like Google always consider the words in the content to decide if your post contains relevant and juicy information for the search query or not.

WordPress has created a large platform for developers to develop awesome themes start a business. But which theme should be chosen this is a wise question. Besides look and design of the theme, always consider the fact that your theme must be search engine friendly. Now how to decide if a theme is search engine friendly or not? Here I am mentioning some points that will help you to answer that question:
Theme design must be search engine friendly. e.g. header section should not have larger images. Theme must have options of all important tags (Meta Keywords, Title tag, Meta Description, etc.). Theme must be light weighted so that your website can easily load. Cute color combination that matches with design. Theme must be compatible with all versions of SEO plugins. Theme must provide you full customization without any further coding from your side. Have the body text big with big and clear headings. Use Great SEO plugins with your wordpress site:
There are too many plugins available to help your wordpress site to become friendlier to search engines. Here I will tell you about some top plugins that you must use with your wordpress site:
All in One SEO Pack :This is one of the most popular plugins ever developed for wordpress. It is a multi functional plugin which does every task related to SEO of your wordpress site. This plugin offers you little bit of everything out of your SEO box, and it was especially designed to give you best SEO options in a small package. This plugin offers you on page SEO options like setting title, descriptions, keywords, etc. it also helps you to find duplicate content. I recommend this wordpress plugin to those who do not have enough option of SEO in their WP themes. Platinum SEO :
This plugin is like an enhanced version of “All in One SEO” plugin. It also helps to find duplicate content and avoid them. It arranges features such as auto generation of META tags, post slug optimization; if a permalink is changed it does 301 redirection automatically etc. Google XML Sitemaps Generator :
Name of this plugin explains its work clearly. First let me tell you what a sitemap is and why it is needed? A sitemap is an XML file that contains list of URL’s with metadata about each URL separately so that search engines can crawl our site more easily. Google XML sitemaps generates is a must have plugin for your wordpress site. Its name state that it generates sitemap for Google but it also generates diverse XML map that is readable by other search engines also. In order to use this plugin you do not need php skills. SEO Friendly Images :
Images are always a good option to explain anything in better way. This plugin offers you to add relevant “alt” tags and “title” tags on all of your images so search engines properly index them. Permalink Finder :
What happens if someone is looking for a post which has been deleted or permalink has been changed? It takes you to error 404 page cannot be found, Permalink finder is a plugin that helps you to overcome this situation in smarter way. This plugins avoid sending your reader to error 404 by searching through your database for a post with similar words and takes the best match out of your database and redirects to that page. This plugin gives you two advantages first that it redirects visitors to other relevant page and second search engine spiders will always see the 301 redirect, spiders update their database and next searches will be linked to the correct page. But I recommend you personally never allow any dead link in your site. WP Backlinks :
This plugin is good for link exchanging. Many bloggers find it a boring and hectic task to exchange links with other blogs so this plugin solves their problem. It provides a small form on your blog’s sidebar that allows other blogger’s and webmasters to submit a link for link exchange. The plugin will then spider the respective blog or site for reciprocal link and you are done with link exchange. You have successfully exchanged links; it’s that simple.
