by Chase McMullen Marketing SpecialistMany SEO marketers recommend WordPress SEO tips which aren’t
necessarily approved by Google. They’re not necessarily forbidden by Google
either, but we thought you might want to know which tips are officially
approved by Google, so here are the top five Google-approved WordPress SEO
tips:
Good Titles: The most important part of your page, from an
SEO perspective, is the title. Look at any set of search results—the first
thing you notice are the titles. You’re not going to click on any bad titles no
matter how high they rank, so take a moment and make sure all of the pages on
your site have good, strong titles.
Google pays close attention to titles—remember they make
their money by hawking appealing content. But don’t fall into the trap of
thinking that your title should be keyword optimized. It’s far more important
that you make people eagerly desire to click on your titles than it is that you
rank for any particular term. The art is to try and combine both.
Alt: Google wants you to label your images accurately using
the alt tag. The alt tag was designed so that seeing-impaired people could read
(or have read to them) a text description of any images on your page, but the
primary use of the alt tag on the Internet today is for image search engines.
Labeling your images is a great way to back up the keyword
phrase for that particular page. For example, if you write a page about
cheesesteaks and you want to rank for the keyword cheesesteaks, put an image of
a cheesesteak on your page and label it as a cheesesteak with the alt tag.
Use Meta Tags: Various plugins for WordPress let you add a
meta description and meta keywords tag to your WordPress posts—Google says this
is great, but it also offers a few warnings.
1. Don’t use
keywords or content in your meta tags which don’t reflect the actual article.
2. Keep descriptions
and keywords short.
3. Don’t assume that
Google will necessarily use your descriptions or keywords.
If you haven’t used meta tags before, you’ll probably want
to take the time to go back and add them to all of your previous posts.
Remember that the text you enter in the meta description field will probably be
the text which appears in search engine listings, so you want to make it short
and enticing.
URLs: Google pays more attention to the URL than most people
do, so your URL is a great place to put your keyword phrase without it taking
away from the appeal of your article.
Imagine your keyword phrase is something boring, such as
“How To SEO”. You probably can’t write an interesting headline using that
keyword, but you can write an interesting headline without it—“How To SEO In
Today’s Online World”—and then add the proper keyword phrase in the URL,
“example.com/SEO-In–Today’s-Online–World”.
Don’t go overboard on the URL. People are less likely to
share longer URLs than shorter URLs, and even Google will stop trying to parse
really long URLs. But don’t worry about getting your keyword phrase into your
title if you can get it into your URL using one of these WordPress SEO tips.
Post Often: Almost everyone says it, but it’s still true—the
more you post, the higher you rank. You do have to post high-quality content,
but as long as you post quality content, posting more frequently increases your
chances of ranking well on Google in multiple different search results.
Google is the world’s leading search engine because it makes
its customers happy by pointing them to high-quality content. Therefore,
nothing makes Google happier than seeing more high-quality content on the
Internet. If you publish high-quality content often, Google will show its
appreciation by linking to your content more often. All WordPress SEO tips boil
down to this principle: make Google happy.
Google not only appreciates you labeling the image so it can
use it on its image search engine, but it will also further convince Google
that your post is about cheesesteaks.
