Optimizing a Blog For Your MLM Business Opportunity

If you’re using your blog to help promote your MLM Business Opportunity, then you really should optimize it for your keywords, as much as possible.    If you search for something on Google, you’ll notice that  websites with the keywords in their URL, that you used to search,  appear close the the top of the sites google finds.

Try it and see what I mean!   For example,  a friend of mine, who’s name is Val Wilcox, has a blog named  http://www.ValWilcox.com Go to Google.com,  type in Val Wilcox, and Val’s blog is the very first in the listings.   Of course, if the keywords you put in your domain name are competitive,  your site won’t appear in the 1st position so easily.

There is something you can do on your wordpress blog, to give your site a better chance of appearing when someone searches for specific keywords.   You should have your keywords in your Permanent links as much as possible.

On a blog, a “permanent link” is  the URL of your Blog Post.   Here is one way you can get more keywords in your permanent links.

Customize Your Permanent Link Structure on WordPress

1. Log into the admin area of your blog.
2. From the left hand side menu of  the Dashboard,  go to “Settings” and select Permalinks, as show in the Image to the right.
3. From the “Permalinks Settings” follow the instructions on the  image below:
   

Now, if you use keywords for your categories, and put keywords in your titles, you will have a very good chance of getting seen on the search engines for those keywords. Of course, this assumes that your keywords are not highly competitive.
