Today I am posting some information I hope you will find useful to increase traffic to your website. The following information will not guarantee increased web traffic but it will hopefully help you with this. WordPress web sites are a great platform to allow good search engine ranking if used correctly and updated regularly. The following info should also assist you.

This post is all based around the All In One SEO plugin for WordPress. Images shown are screen dumps from a demo page. I will try to make this as clear as possible so you can utilize it in your sites as well.

1. Firstly you need to ensure you have the “All in One SEO” plug in installed in your site. You can do this by simply clicking on the “Plugins” tab on the left side of your dash board once you’ve signed into your web page. You should see listed under plugins “All in One SEO Pack”. If you do not have it installed, you can easily install is by clicking the “Add New” selection on the left of the dashboard, search for it and click install. There are many different SEO plug ins available so make sure you select the correct one.

2. Once you’ve confirmed it’s installed, you can start adding key words to your pages and posts. When you select either Pages (Pages displayed on your web site for information on your business) or Posts (Blog/information updates like this entry) you should see below the main content entry section a new window called All in One SEO. (Image below will assist you in knowing what to look for), you may need to scroll further down the page to find it. You simply need to start entering the information in the spaces provided. I generally only use three sections.

1. Title – A good page title descriptive of your page/Post
2. Description – Short precise info that is displayed in the search engine when your site shows
3. Keywords – Words related to your page/Post. Think outside the square!

3. The following image shows the specific addition I made for this post. I’ll add the key words below the picture as you cannot see it all on the image. You can use as many key words as you wish just simply add them and place a comma between them.

Keywords: SEO, Search Engine Optimization, WordPress, Plug in, page ranking, Google, Altavista, Yahoo, Page ranking, Improve

4. Once you’ve entered your post and added the SEO portion you can go ahead and “Publish” it. You’re done. Posts will not show immediately. They need to be found by search engine crawl bots but hopefully in time (sooner than later) you’ll start seeing your posts and pages higher ranked. Google offers a good Key Word search tool to assist you – GOOGLE SEARCH TOOL

So I hope this helps you a little with adding “Key Words” to your web page to improve your search engine ranking.
