Search Engine Optimization is provided by WordPress: Number 4 Reason for using WordPress

WordPress makes it VERY EASY to do Search Engine Optimization.

Here are some simple tips for making sure your content is optimized on your Blog

• Put your Keywords in your Blog Title.
• Make sure your Categories consist of keywords, and select a relevant Category for each of your posts.
• Select only ONE category for each post, otherwise you will get Duplicate content.
• Under Settings, Permalinks, select Custom Structure and type in the following:
  

  /%category%/%postname%/
  

  By typing the above custom structure, the Permanent Link (URL) for each of your posts will consist of:

  Your Blog name + Category Name + Title Name for Post
  

  You can also have JUST the Title in the permalink, without the category name. Research has shown that having keywords closer to the beginning of the URL is important. So, for the Custom Structure, you could type in:

  /%postname%/
  

• Make sure you have a Sitemap on your Blog. Good Sitemap plugins are:
  

  XML Sitemap Generator for WordPress
  Dagon Design Sitemap Generator

  Use the above sitemaps together, and you will get a google and User friendly sitemap page like this one:
