There are some bloggers who are blogging on WordPress, but  they don’t even know what is SEO. So today I decided to write an article on SEO and WordPress optimization for better SEO. Before writing any tip, let me explain you first what is it.

Search engine optimization is the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via natural search results. Typically, the earlier  a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive from the search engine. SEO may target different kinds of search, including image search, local search, and industry-specific vertical search engines. This gives a web site web presence.

How can we optimize our WordPress for it?

WordPress software is said to be optimized for SEO by default, but though there are some better optimizations which can be use to boost search engine results, in this article I am going to explain you all common SEO optimization tips.

• Title of post – The post title of your article should be always user- friendly and catchy so that who so ever reads the title get attracted towards it.
• Meta Title – There is a little difference between the title and the meta title. Title is the heading of your article or post while meta title is the title you want search engine to show in search results.
• Description – Your post/article summary or discription should be catchy because most of readers first read the summary or description of the article, then if they find the summary interesting, then only they read full article.
• Keywords – Keywords should be properly used depending upon your article’s summary as they will be targeting the search results.
• Content – Some newbies thing that posting often will them to increase their site traffic, they are wrong!. There is no use of writing spam or review posts as no one will like to read your post, but if your content is nice or interesting, then everyone will like to read it which will help you increase your traffic so always try to write interesting articles.
