By James Bohman


Have you been thinking about starting a site on wordpress? Do you already have one but, are uncertain how to make it better? Either way, you have come to the right place. Here are some suggestions to help you understand what the pros know. A successful site can be yours if you use these ideas.

Be sure to stay on top of updates! Many updates to add-ons or Wordpress itself are security-based, meaning your site could be compromised if you don't update the software. If it's telling you a new update is available, install it as soon as possible to protect your site from harm.

Make sure that all of the information on your site is current. This is very important as viewers will tend to veer away from your site if it is outdated or pointing out very old information. Spend time each week getting rid of the antiquated material on your website to improve how it looks.

Set a publishing time for your blog posts. When editing an article for publication, you can select when it will be published. It's a good idea to set regular updates for a specific date and time. To really stay on top of keeping your blog up to date, put your blog posts in ahead of time and let WordPress post them to your blog for you.

When you use different tags for the topics on your blog, keep in mind that these are strictly for searching the content on your blog. These can't be used by search engines. If you want your pages to be searchable on Google, you have to install an SEO type plug-in such as Headspace.

If your post contains a long title, be certain to adjust your permalink. Using too many words will make a clunky URL. Rather, seek out keywords in the long URL and create a shorter permalink for it.

If you are new to WordPress, make sure to keep your sidebar simple. Make sure that it only has the essentials. Your visitors shouldn't have to weed through a ton of ads and banners to find the links they want to click on. Try removing the items in Appearance & Widgets that don't contribute anything to your cause or business.

Images make your blog look beautiful; however, the images can also help your site rank higher among search engines. One of the easiest ways to do this is to add keywords to your title tag and alternate tags. Both of these tags should contain precise keywords in order to rank your site appropriately.

Be sure to choose unique, difficult to hack passwords and keep them secure. It doesn't matter if you are a free WordPress blogger of a paid, self-hosted WordPress blogger: it is important to keep your passwords strong and secure. In this way, you will not have to waste valuable time cleaning up sabotage and changing passwords. This will help ensure that your blog is a success.

Include useful links at your footer. The footer is located at the bottom of your site. Most sites include contact information, copyright information and links to other sites in the footer. By including useful information in your footer, you can increase the sales, referrals and traffic to your site.

Organize your permalinks. You need to make your links easy for the search engines to find your important information. You should learn proper SEO to do this. In the meantime, you can use WordPress's included permalink form to clean up links before publication. Cut words down to only the most important ones. Also, try cleverly adding your keywords to your descriptions.

It is not possible to learn everything there is to know about WordPress overnight. However, if you take the time to follow the simple advice in this article and keep learning more, you will master it in no time. After all, isn't it important to really understand all there is to know about WordPress?
