Basic S.E.O Settings for WordPress

Hello friends, since past few days I was continuously working on, why after so much of hard work and promotion of website, still many of you guys are not getting appropriate search results. And when I made research on few sites I found few big mistake which many of you are making but you don’t even pay a attention towards them. Actually these are very small things which should be done, but many of us ignore them and hence we don’t get what we want. We do many things for promoting our site like, link sharing on social sites, bookmarking etc etc. But we forget about the basic settings for S.E.O. Though they are basic settings but can boost your sites results. Now, I’m gonna share my ways of optimizing site.


These are the basic setting which should be made by everyone of us.

  1. All in one S.E.O pack:- As I said in my earlier post, that this plugin is the backbone for S.E.O. Once you have installed this plugin, you can add meta tags, keywords, meta description, title, slugs etc for you post. This will enable you post to get listed in the search queries (it also depend on search engine algorithm of searching). What all you have to do is just spend 2-3 minutes for filling these fields (fields are automatically created by this plugin) rest is the work of this plugin. Slugs are automatically prepared by this plugin, so don’t worry if you don’t have any idea about the slugs.

  2. Permalinks settings:- Many of us don’t know the importance of permalinks so we don’t pay attention towards it. Actually it is the main thing that results in optimization of your website. If observer my post(s) links, you’ll find them descriptive i.e. they include my post title separated with “-” (hyphen sign), this what are actually the permalinks. When ever search engine bots come to our site, the first thing they check is our URL’s, these URL’s are the only thing which helps in automated S.E.O. I personally use these settings, and yes they have show results rest I don’t know what others say but I personally believe that these settings should be made in every site if you really want your site to get top rankings in search results. How to change permalinks settings?
  3. Google XML sitemap:- Sitemap is the first basic thing that should be there in every site, these site map enables Google bots (search engine crawlers) to navigate your site more effectively and easily, thus it also results in better optimization and high search engine rankings. This plugin enables you to, automatically create sitemap for your website.
  4. Social Media Share Plugins:- This plugin is actually for your site users/visitors, I’ll explain, when you install this plugin you will get share button of enormous social site(s) which will enable you and as well as your visitors to share your post and pages on there social site accounts. Hence, using this will result in promotion of site across the social sites and will bring visitors from various places. Social Media is also known as off page optimization and has weight-age of +3.
