SEO – Search Engine Optimization


There are many, many tutorials online that give you a general overview, or in-depth look at how to optimize a blog for search engines. Mainly, you’ll want each post to focus on a specific topic, and you’ll want to include (but not overuse) specific keywords. Make your posts easily readable without including garbage. Part of the way to increase traffic to the new WordPress blog you’ve started is to offer great content, and avoid spam. There are also several useful plugins which will help you with semi-automated SEO. Using a plugin is as simple as installing it and tweaking a few things for setup.

Plugins

Thousands of plugins are available to help customize your new website using WordPress. A majority of these are free. A plugin adds bits of code to your WordPress blog that change the way things operate to your advantage, and automates processes that would otherwise require you to understand HTML or PHP programming. If you want to add mailing list functionality, the option to share posts via social media sites, a way to automatically recognize spam comments, or an easy way to add affiliate links to your posts, a plugin is available. Simply do a search from the plugins page inside your WordPress dashboard and install the ones that interest you. Full documentation is usually available to guide you through setup and use of each one.

WordPress Themes

Wordpress themes may be considered the backbone of your blog. Like plugins, there are thousands of free and paid themes available. You’ll want to select one that gives you the look and feel that you desire and the ease of such things as inserting blocks of code for ads, images, logos and more. Themes are just as easy to install as plugins, and again usually come with easy-to-understand tutorials and information for use. You can find colorful themes, business themes or just about anything you might be looking for.

Making Money With a Self-Hosted WordPress Blog

In addition to making sure your content is optimized properly for search engines, there are many other things you can do to make money with your wordpress blog. Joining affiliate programs such as those offered by Commission Junction, ConnectCommerce (Google), Amazon and others will allow you to earn commission when someone clicks from your blog and makes a purchase. Offer only relevant items and you’ll see more successful sales. Exchanging comments with other relevant bloggers will boost your search engine rankings and provide you with additional traffic. Include Google AdSense on each blog post, and other pages on your WordPress website, by using an AdSense or SEO plugin. Also, you may wish to sell advertising spots once your traffic has increased enough to make that worthwhile. Don’t forget to share your blog as well. Make sure you link to your new website from all your favorite social media platforms, like Facebook, Twitter and so on, so that people who follow you can find out what you’re up to next.
