SEO for WordPress Blogs

posted on June 13, 2009


Today, I had the pleasure of speaking at the Wordcamp RDU event–one of many events held around the world for WordPress users.

I gave a presentation outlining my advice for search engine optimization (SEO) for WordPress. I only had about 30 minutes–and had to cater to both newbies and advanced users–so I focused on what I felt were the most important topics.

I’m sharing my SEO for WordPress presentation below, but keep in mind that my presentations are about 30% of what’s on the slides, and 70% of what I convey verbally. ;-)

PS. Some of the advice I gave can be found in these previous blog posts:

    Thanks, Andy. Slides were insightful — some plugins I should have been using, too — but I wish I would have heard you speak. Good stuff. My biggest nag is actually measuring the results of all the SEO changes I want to make. If I REALLY knew I could do that fairly accurately, I’d likely put in more of a daily SEO effort.

    Andy,

    I really enjoyed your presentation, and appreciated both the technical insights into distilling google juice as well as your strategy on changing the focus of a page after it is has become highly ranked.

    WordCamp provided a high signal to noise ratio and delivered it in a blue jeans and T-shirt atmosphere. Great venue, and an awesome presentation.

    Andy – Thanks for the presentation and the links–but they appear to not work. Looks like you’ve got a /2009/ stuck in front of the /2008/…

    Good stuff, optimizing titles is huge. Slight changes in the keywords or the order of the words can make the difference of being on page one in serp or page 5.
