Wordpress SEO Tips

  • Consider using keywords relevant to your article;
  • If the keywords are somehow related to each other, that’s a plus (for example: internet marketing, online marketing, search engine marketing);
  • Use different keywords for different blog posts. In most cases, search engines will return two results from you blog at most, so having five or six posts optimized for the same set of keywords would be a waste of content;
  • Write your article first, but with the right keywords in mind, not the other way around;
  • Use your most important keyword(s) in the title tag. If you’re using a SEO plugin, you can set a different page title than that of your blog post;
  • Use those keywords in the META description too;
  • Use the keywords in the title of your blog post and preferably in the first phrase or paragraph of your article;
  • Edit the post slug (permalink) so that it contains the most important keyword and also try to keep it as short as possible;
  • Place the keyword(s) a few more times (don’t overdo it) throughout the article in a humanly natural order and context;
  • If there are other older relevant posts on your blog, try to create backlinks from them using the selected keywords as anchor text (same goes for external incoming links).

MODIFIED CODE :

     <?php /* Start the loop */ while ( have_posts() )

{

the_post();
