Are you like me? Do you have strong content writing and blog promoting abilities, but lack the knowledge of how to actually build a WordPress site? You probably can figure out how to install the blog but that’s about as far as you can go. If you’re just going to write a personal blog or one for fun, you’re probably a single person operation. You can get up and running, but that’s about it.

If you’ve spent any time on internet marketing forums, you’re bound to come across a poster who wants to know how to get hundreds of back links to their WordPress site, but they’ve made no effort to optimize their own content. The All in One SEO Pack now makes it as easy as ever to optimize your on page SEO. You’ll now find boxes when publishing posts allowing you to specify the post title, description and keywords.
- Title
The meta title is probably the most important on page SEO element. Your title is the link text that will show up in Google’s organic rankings. Make sure to write a highly relevant title. You’ll want to make sure your post’s intended keyword is included in the title, but don’t just cram your title with keywords. Remember that you’re writing for your audience, not Google, so the title should be interesting and eye catching. You have about 60 characters to work with, but each word is generally weighted roughly the same so be frugal with your words. It’s also a good idea to put your most important keywords farthest left on your title.
- Description
Google doesn’t use the meta description in their rankings, but this is another opportunity to help make your listing stand out in their listings. After all, this is the 150 character text that will show up below your link (though there isn’t a guarantee that Google will use your meta description at all).
- Keywords
Like the meta description, Google doesn’t use meta keywords in their rankings. You’ll probably want to throw a keyword in or two for the smaller search engines. It can’t hurt and only takes a few seconds to add them.
Us marketers may not necessarily know how to build a WordPress site, but with plugins like the All in One SEO Pack, we sure can make our sites attractive to search engines!
