Top 5 WordPress SEO Practices You Must Not Miss
Out On 1. Perform Traffic-Oriented Keyword
Research Those days are long gone when Keyword
Stuffing used to work, these days Google
doesnt entertain the websites practicing this
technique. Though Google still factors in the
keywords for ranking websites in the search
results, you must put it wisely in your web
content. Your SEO strategy should be guided by
accurately assessing your target audience and
turning it to their advantage. Have one thing
clear in your mind, your potential customers will
get in business with you only when you are
visible to them. However, one of the most easy
ways to rank high in the search results is to
perform keyword analysis. Just to let you
understand in a better way, suppose that you want
to rank highly in Google for either of the
phrase WordPress themes or WordPress
plugins. In that case you can use a tool more
so, Google AdWords Planner to determine the
competitiveness of your terms and find its
alternatives to use in your content. Apart from
that, you can also use another tool named Google
Analytics to check the keywords people are using
to find your website. Moreover, your WordPress
site statistics can also be used to get keyword
ideas for your next blog post.

For each keyword that you get, try to find out
its ten alternatives and include it in your
article. For instance, if you want to have
different forms of WordPress themes, you can
generate alternatives such as responsive
WordPress themes, premium WordPress themes,
multi-purpose WordPress themes and on and
on. 2. Focus On Content Relevance Publishing
high-quality and relevant content on your website
is beneficial in two ways - draw in your target
audience and keep them engaged for
conversion. Despite so many years passed
practicing different SEO techniques, content
still plays a vital role in improving search
engine rankings of websites. You must know that
people love reading unique, informative and
comprehensive content that conveys some valuable
information. A website without content is like a
car without bumpers. Along the same lines, a
website with poor-quality content is like a blunt
knife that cuts fruits or vegetables only when
you exert more force on it. While preparing your
content, make sure that it is going to present
something hot and fresh in front of your target
audience. Else they wont read it and Google
wont rank it. Without a doubt, you can fetch
out some notable quotes from anywhere on the
internet, but copy-pasting it exactly the same
will surely push you into trouble. If you want
to be guided by content strategists about what
type of content would please your audience
group, you must get in contact with us. Our web

SEO-Friendly Themes And Plugins WordPress is
notably popular today just because anyone can
build a website within a few minutes and make it
come to life for their audience group. Thanks to
WordPress themes and plugins, anybody can create
a professional website in the time it takes to
brew a cup of coffee. But thats only true if
you put the right themes and plugins in use. In
terms of WordPress SEO, the themes and plugins
you choose to use in your website should be
SEO-ready that can get going without any
interruption. Obviously, you can start with any
theme and plugin that you like but SEO-ready
ones have the upper hand when it comes to Google
ranking. So, what do you need to do in order to
find the right WordPress themes and
plugins? You need to look for themes and plugins
that have clean and valid HTML. It should
utilize the canonical URL meta tag that is just a
common term for a certain type of meta tag that
stores the top URL of your page. For instance,
if it is your homepage, the canonical URL meta
tag will store your domain name and if it is a
blog post then the tag will store the URL of that
blog post. On top of that, you should also
ensure that your theme supports the correct
usage of headings (h1, h2,....) and title tags.

days when Google emphasized the importance of
user-friendly websites, business owners started
to make their website responsive for mobile
users. It means if your website is not mobile
friendly, you will not be able to enjoy higher
ranking in search engines. Your users have to
zoom-in and zoom-out every time they open your
website in their mobile browser. They will come
to know that your site is not mobile friendly and
then they will switch to one that is.

It will reduce your click-through rate and
increase the bounce rate. This is why Google
recommends to adopt responsive design for every
website that adjusts to screen size of different
devices, no matter if it is accessed through
