Are you looking for more traffic on WordPress? It’s not too hard to get, you just need some SEO tips to enhance your configuration.
We will here give you the best tips for making your WordPress SEO friendly.
Your best option is creating a Custom permalinks. For this tweak you simply change the page title that is given by default, which is of format: www.yourdomaincom/?p=5 , to a much more user friendly and search engine oriented title:www.yourdomainname.com/category/page title.
In order to do this you need to go to Options > Permalinks and change the default code for this other code – /%category%/%postname%/
Another tweak you can use is making your titles links. Links are easier to detect by search engines, and by this, easier to be found by your users. Luckily, you can very easily convert your titles to links permanently. To do this, go to your Main Index Template and Page Template and find the post title’s code, which will be something like
[h2][?php the_title(); ?][/h2]
but between these > < instead of square brackets.
To transform your headings into links, replace this code by these next one, always changing the square brackets with > <
[h2][a href="[?php the_permalink() ?]” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link to [?php the_title(); ?]“][?php the_title(); ?][/a][/h2]
You are already ahead of the rest with your new SEO improvements, but there’s more. There are plenty of for WordpressGoogle Sitemap generator plugins. You can use this very customizable (it´s options page is in the Word Press admin panel) plugin to create a sitemap for your WordPress powered site. You will be amazed by all the options it includes.

The last tweak we’ll talk about is adding custom Meta tags to different pages on your WordPress blog. Using the
