WordPress Blogging (Basic SEO Techniques) 1/6

A cool WP feature is that there is an option to hide your site from the search engines.

Just log into the admin area of your site and click on >> Settings and then>> Reading. From there scroll down until you see 'Search Engine Visibility' and make sure that the box next to 'Discourage search engines' is unchecked. Click on the save changes button. You are done!. Leaving it checked means any search engine coming to crawl your blog will be chased away immediately.

WordPress Blogging (Basic SEO Techniques) 2/6

I assume you already have your blog added to Google Search Console from one of the previous techniques or do so here https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/home?hl=en

After you have added your website to Google Search Console click on>> Crawl and then click Sitemaps. Then click on the Add Sitemap button. Then input your sitemap.

If you don't know what your sitemap is, it would be given to you by any SEO plugin you use.

After you add your sitemap it will be pending for about 6 hours to 48 hours, maybe even a few hours or as long as it takes to crawl your entire website. Then it will show your sitemap stats, the number of links found in your sitemap, how many of them were indexed, and much more. You should get in the habit of checking your search console every 2-4 days to gain info on your SEO efforts.

WordPress Blogging (Basic SEO Techniques) 3/6

When you first create your site you need to choose whether or not you'll be using the subdomain "www" or not. Does it make a difference if www is shown in your website's URL? Yes!

The search engines consider those to be two completely different websites so you need to pick one and forget about it. Some have a preference but from an SEO point of view it does not matter whether you pick one or the other. My own personal preference, I go for "www" instead of the non-www.

Make your own choice by going to your site dash Settings >>General page and there you can add your preferred URL in both the 'WordPress Address' and the 'Site Address fields.'.

Note that this option should not be changed like a diapers, it a one time change, once you set it, it should be left permanently, removing it would cause your links to disappear from Google search result gradually.

You might have probably heard of the term "SEO friendly URL". Most people fall short of this error, once this error is made from the start of your blogging career, it might haunt you even after death.

A SEO friendly URL must contain words, tags or keyword that is ultimately related to the post content.
Example of a SEO friendly URL is:

www.yoursite.com/kangaroos-drink-hot-honey

while, SEO unfriendly URL's have numbers or content that do not describe whats on the pages

www.yoursite.com/?p=85905

So the unfriendly URLs do not tell the search engine clearly show what's on the pages.

Use SEO friendly permalink structure which improves your chances of getting a better, higher spot in the search engine results pages. Check and update your WP site's structure by going from your site's dash to >> Settings >> Permalinks page and select the post name option and then Save changes. This will improve your chances of getting better spots in the search results.

WordPress Blogging (Basic SEO Techniques) 5/6

SSL should be no more new term to you as a blogger even if you know not the meaning. It stands for "Secure Sockets Layer" which am sure makes no sense to you yet.

Although the initial use of SSL is to prevent illegal listening of communication between a server and the client machine by "hackers". It is now an integral part of SEO perfection.

SSL cert cost range is $9 - $15 for the lowest package. Although some web host company provides it for free if you are in luck.
You should get one and install on your domain. After installing you might need to edit your .htaccess file to redirect users to it or rather use a decent plugin.

Social bookmarking is basically bookmarking a web page so that you can read it later. You can bookmark your pages on sites like Reddit, Digg and StumbleUpon. Website pages that are added on social bookmarking sites are regarded as a quality backlink by search engines. The more quality links you have coming into your website, the further up the rankings you will appear.

You should have account on at least 5 social bookmarking websites as they help in backlinks and instant traffic.

Did you lost sight of your blog on google? You must have hurt big-G!

Most people complain of not finding their blog on search engine despite following all SEO rules.
The reasons include:

1. The domain might have been owned by someone else before you and the person might have abused or use it for illegal purposes.

2. You spam various social media, blogs, forums with your blog link.

3. You chose the wrong variant of domain name on Google search console.

4. Your domain name is still very young.

5. Your domain might be an EMD (Exact Match Domain) example; jumiaa.com.ng, nairalande.com

6. more to come...
