Tiny Wordpress SEO Tips
There is about every Search Engine Optimization tool and guide out there to help you increase your blog ranking. But as in every thing you do, there are small things that can really make a difference. For Wordpress, there are countless little modifications and hacks to improve your rating.
- Remove “View all posts in” in category links: To do this, you need to find category-template.php file in your /wp-includes/ folder. Inside the category-template.php, go to line 109 and find the code “sprintf(__(”View all posts in %s“). Delete “view all posts in” part, leaving only %s and repeat it for the following 5 statements which have the exact same code.
- Remove “Posted by admin” in post meta: If you are the only one posting on your blog, why not remove the posted by text and increase the keyword percentage on the your webpage? Just remove the text in your index.php and single.php template files.
- Edit your supplemental pages: One way to get your pages out of the supplemental index of Google is to edit them and add more keyword filled content to them. You can see your supplementals by searching for “site:domain.com *** -view” on Google.
- Content Selection: Most bloggers just throw things at their sidebar and think that they look pretty. For example, nowadays every blog has the Top Commentators plugin. Why not show the top commentators only on your main page? To do this you need to use the below code. Bye bye links from single post pages.
<?php if ( is_home() || is_page() || is_search()) { ?> Your Top Commentator Text <?php } ?>
