Follow the steps below to optimize your WordPress-based blog to be easily indexed by search engines:
- Determination of the blog title and the keyword (keyword)
- Make sure the title of the blog that you choose has a significant meaning.
- Easy to remember and pronounce.
- Describe in general of the whole content of the pages of your blog will make.
- Update the service status and blog content
- Every time you hold updates to the content, eg write a new article, then WordPress will take action against minimal Ping with similar blog posts similar or even exactly the same.
- It is quite important to do for other blogs to know that you have been doing updates (update) the content of your blog page.
- This way you will have a blog owned more social life, more public and more easily noticed by readers and other blog pages.
- Surely you already know Technorati and Sphere? storage is a website and blog that are always updated search data every day. Any person seeking information similar to what you write will be able to easily find your blog.
- Please download a URL that you can use to ping when you do content updates. Copy all the URLs on the WordPress Dashboard - Arrangement - Writing - Update Service. For the use of the English language is WordPress Dashboard - Settings - Writing - Update Services.
- Each time you add a new post, then WordPress will ping to a URL that you define. Be careful! This could make your blog become very slow and long to proceed first. But do not worry, use the No Ping Wait plugin for WordPress ordered not wait Ping process is complete, so you can immediately do other work.
- Modification headline format on wordpress theme
- Format the title of each page that you have should contain the title of the paper and accompanied by the title of the blog.
- For example: Making Technique Paper Airplane From HVS - Blog Name. The format is very good for easy search mesing show the index of your blog to be more informative.
- Meta Tag
- Meta Tags do not know? first read the definition on Wikipedia.
- Meta Tags are very important to use the search engine in order to "fall in love" on your blog.
- WordPress at the start after the installation is not at all facilities use insert Meta Tags. For this please use the Plugin All in One SEO Pack.
- On the Plugins page you can specify the title, description and keywords as a whole was even able to give the title, description and keywords on each post title. This is a very nice plugin, you should use it
- Order of writing the blog pages
- The title page of blog posts that you create have meaning and should be taken seriously in order to be easily recognized by search engines.
- Search engines did not really like the combination of the source code as a text address or a static page as
http://www.namadomain.com/index?=id&option=f45&var=p21 - Make sure you choose the titles of blog posts that are "friends" with the most popular search engines like I mentioned above.
- WordPress users are very lucky, there are facilities to maximize this problem. Please use the setup option or setting to modify the URL that should be used by WordPress to display the addresses of your writing.
- Originally, WordPress will use this as http://www.domainname.com/?p=123. Make sure you are no longer using and replace it in addition to addressing based
There are 2 options you have available, which is based on the year / month / date as http://www.domainname.com/index.php/2008/4/30/create-posting. And another one is based on numerical as http://www.domainname.com/index.php/archive/123- Both of the above options is not included so favored by search engines, my advice use the custom option, namely
http://www.domainname.com/index.php/2008/4/30/create-posting. Adding extensions. Html can be done easily as shown in the picture. Do not forget to write variable% postname% before the extension .html
- Keyword optimization
- Keywords or keyword has an important role to create a search engine to index dropped ranking order of your blog
- The criteria are:
- Excellence and accuracy of keyword
- Frequency of keyword usage
- Concentration keyword
- Proximity of keywords
- Placement of keywords in the content of posts and pages
- Use keywords wisely, do not over-use it. Never enter keywords that are not relevant to the title and content of your blog. Just imagine if your blog is good will appear in search porn sites. You will be considered spam and it will do so hated by the search engines and all the.
- I recommend to do study in advance of keywords that are popular and used by other similar blogs. Visit the site Google Keyword Tool for this or you can also use the services of Overture
- Sitemap
- A site map is a complement of the existence of a website. The existence of a site map will help search engines to make the structure of the file or files of your blog.
- Site map contains URLs of the pages you've created static and can be freely published status.
- But there is no evidence that the site map will increase the ranking of a keyword search for your blog.
- The default site map will be made in the form of an XML-formatted file and named sitemap.xml
- On WordPress you can enable Google Sitemaps Generator Plugin for WordPress.
- The existence of the plugin you do not bother to manually create a map of your blog site. Enough to set the frequency of how long we would like to instruct WordPress to write content updates to the site map.
- Social storage service
- Nowadays so many social bookmarking services such as Digg, Technorati, Reddit, Stumbleupon, Mixx, Del.icio.us and other information to save the existence of your blog.
- Highly recommended you install this safety feature in any writings you've made.
- With this feature every person interested in reading and writing for free you can also promote your blog presence.
- Because to many social service peyimpanan this, my suggestion is the use of special AddThis plugin for WordPress that can greatly help you embrace all of these features into a single unit
Apa itu Alexa Rank?
Sebelum ke cara-cara meningkatkan
Alexa Rank, ada baiknya Anda mengetahui dulu apa itu Alexa Rank. Bila
disederhanakan, Alexa Rank adalah ranking trafik suatu situs ataublog.
Adapun menurut situs Alexa.com, alexa rank dihitung berbasis aggregat
trafik 3 bulanan dari jutaan pengguna Alexa Toolbar dan merupakan sebuah
ukuran kombinasi dari page views dan pengunjung. Pada tahap pertama,
Alexa menghitung jumlah pengunjung dan jumlah page views untuk semua
situs danblog secara harian. Dari definisi tersebut, maka yang berperan
penting dalam alexa rank adalah Alexa Toolbar, jumlah pengunjung, dan
jumlah page views yang dihitung berdasarkan jumlah orang yang
mengunjungi situs/blog bersangkutan dengan alexa toolbar terinstal di
browser yang digunakannya.
20 Cara meningkatkan Alexa Rank :
Perlu Anda ingat, untuk meningkatkan
alexa rank dalam jangka panjang, DoshDosh merekomendasikan bahwa Anda
harus fokus pada pembuatan konten berkualitas yang akan menarik banyak
pengunjung. Jadi, bukan hanya sekadar fokus pada meningkatkan alexa rank
secara instan. Di bawah ini cara-cara meningkatkan Alexa Rank:
- Install Alexa toolbar or Firefox’s SearchStatus extension and setting blog Anda sebagai homepage di komputer Anda. Ada dua cara mudah menginstal alexa toolbar. Jika Anda menggunakan Internet Explorer, download Alexa Toolbar for Firefox atau Search Status extension yang akan menampilkan Alexa Rank, Google Rank, dan juga fitur-fitur berguna lain.
- Taruh widget Alexa Rank di blog Anda. Menurut sejumlah kalangan, bila widget itu diklik oleh pengunjung yang belum menginstal Alexa Toolbar, maka itu akan dihitung sebagai kunjungan tambahan.
- Dorong yang lain untuk menginstal Alexa toolbar. Ini bisa sahabat atau pengunjung blog Anda sendiri.
- Bekerja di kator atau di warnet? Jika memungkinkan, instal alexa toolbar pada semua komputer yang ada dan seting blog Anda sebagai homepage-nya. Ini akan berguna jika IP yang digunakan bersifat dinamis.
- Minta teman untuk mereview dan merating profil blog Anda di Alexa. Memang belum ada bukti, namun mungkin saja cara ini berguna.Tulis artikel mengenai Alexa. Webmaster dan blogger senang mengetahui cara-cara meningkatkan alexa-nya. Mereka akan membacklink tulisan Anda dan mengirimkan trafik. Ini secara langsung brdampak pada alexa rankblog Anda.
- Pampang URL Anda di forum webmaster. Webmasters biasanya telah menginstal alexa toolbar di browsernya dan jika mereka tertarik mengklik URL Anda, maka ini merupakan sebuah keuntungan bagi Anda.
- Tulis artikel yang berkaitan dengan webmaster. Contohnya, topik SEO dan jual beli domain yang sangat diminati oleh kalangan webmaster (blogger atau pemilik situs). Promosikan artikel anda pada forum webmaster dan situs jejaring sosial.
- Gunakan Alexa redirects URL blog Anda.
- Aktif di situs atau forum Asian social networking. Beberapa kalangan meyebutkan bahwa Asia Timur adalah pengguna alexa toolbars yang besar. Ini dibuktikan dengan beberapa blog atau situs dari Asia Timur yang masuk Alexa Top 500.
- Buat sebuah halaman mengenai webmaster tools pada blog Anda. Ini merupakan magnet bagi webmaster untuk berkunjung berkali-kali ke blog Anda.
- Daftar di Digg atau StumbleUpon. Kedua situs ini bisa mengirimkan puluhan ribu pengunjung bila artikel Anda tampil di halaman depan. (Catatan Kang Yudiono: di Indonesia, Anda bisa mendaftar di Lintas Berita, InfoGue, dan lain-lain).
- Gunakan kampanye PayperClick. Ini dilakukan dengan membayar iklan di Google atau yang lainnya.
- Buat kategori Alexa di blog Anda dan gunakan ini untuk menyimpan artikel atau berita yang berkaitan dengan Alexa.
- Optimalkan popular posts Anda. Apakah Anda memiliki popular post yang konsisten menerima trafik dari mesin pencari? Update postingan tersebut dengan melik ke postingan Alexa atau link internal ke URL Redirect Anda.
- Beli iklan banner dan link dari forum. Jika iklan Anda menarik, ini akan secara signifikan meningkatkan ranking alexa Anda.
- Rekrut orang untuk mempromosikan blog Anda. Ini bisa dilakukan dengan membayar teman atau anggota forum untuk mempromosikan artikel Anda.
- Bayar pemilik warnet untuk menginstall Alexa toolbar dan mensetting blog Anda di semua komputer yang ada di warnet tersebut.
- Aktif di MySpace, Facebook, dan lainnya. Cara ini berhasil bagi sejumlah orang, namun banyak juga yang tidak berhasil.
- Coba Alexa auto-surfs. Tools ini biasanya berguna bagi blog baru dan gunakan secara hati-hati.
Itu tadi sedikit pengetahuan yang saya dapat dari situs-situs lain tentang bagaimana cara meningkatkan Alexa Rank.

WP-Optimize
adalah salah satu plugin yang harus kita miliki bila menggunakan
platform blog wordpress. Wp-Optimize membuat kita bisa membersihkan dan
mengoptimalkan database SQL blog wordpress kita tanpa harus login ke
database Admin MySQL atau phpmyadmin sehingga sangat cocok bagi blogger

user name yang lama melalui menu user profile. WordPress tidak
mengizinkan kita mengubah username, padahal username default (admin),

Beberapa tutorial penggunaan plugin WordPress CMS yang telah saya
berikan juga telah menunjukkan hal tersebut. Nah, kali ini ada 2 plugin
lagi yang bisa kita gunakan untuk menambahkan fitur-fitur yang juga
umum dipakai pada website lainnya, yaitu Album Foto dan Forum. Pada
bagian ini akan saya mulai dengan pembuatan Album Foto. Plugin WordPress
yang akan kita gunakan adalah NextGEN Gallery.
Langkah-langkahnya adalah :
Langkah-langkahnya adalah :
- Download Plugin NextGEN Gallery terlebih dahulu.
- Instal plugin tersebut pada WordPress Anda.
- Jika plugin sudah di aktivasi, maka pada dashboard akan terlihat menu tambahan bernama Gallery.
- Taksonomi foto pada WordPress menggunakan plugin ini terdiri atas 3 bagian seperti digambarkan di bawah ini:
- Sebelum menambahkan foto ke dalam website, kita perlu membuat nama “gallery” dari foto yang akan kita masukkan. Untuk itu,klik link “Add Gallery/Images” pada bagian “Gallery”. Tuliskan nama gallery baru dari foto yang akan kita masukkan pada kotak isian “New Gallery”.
- Ada tiga (3) cara untuk memasukkan foto.
- Upload a Zip-File, yaitu memasukkan foto dengan jumlah yang banyak sekaligus namun harus dikelompokkan dan dikompres ke dalam sebuah file .zip. Klik tab “Upload a Zip-File” pada halaman penambahan gallery (Langkah 5). Dibagian “Select Zip-File”, klik tombol Browse untuk memilih foto-foto yang telah dikelompokkan dan dikompres ke dalam .zip tersebut dari komputer. Kemudian dibagian “in to”, pilih Gellery dimana foto-foto tersebut akan tersimpan. Setelah itu klik tombol Start Upload.
- Import image folder, yaitu mengimport foto yang telah ada di dalam hosting website kita. Klik tab “Import image folder”, kemudian tuliskan path folder foto (tempat dimana folder foto berada) yang akan diimport sebagai foto.
- Upload Image, yaitu mengupload foto satu per satu (secara tunggal) ke dalam gallery foto yang kita tentukan. Klik tab “Upload Images”, kemudian klik tombol Browse untuk memilih foto yang akan diupload dari komputer. Dibagian “In to”, pilih gallery dimana foto tersebut akan diupload.
- Kita bisa melihat dan mengatur gallery yang telah ada melalui menu “Manage Gallery” yang ada di bagian “Gallery”.
- Kita juga bisa membuat album dari foto-foto yang telah kita masukkan. Sesuai dengan taksonomi yang ada pada Langkah 4 di atas, kita bisa mengelompokkan beberapa gallery foto ke dalam sebuah album. Tujuannya sebenarnya untuk mempermudah pengelolaan dan memudahkan menampilkannya pada halaman website. Silahkan klik menu “Album” pada bagian “Gallery”.
- Selanjutnya, kita buat sebuah Album baru, misalnya saya beri nama “April 2010”. Maka pada bagian “Add new album”, tuliskan “April 2010”, kemudian klik tombol “Add” yang ada disampingnya (seperti yang dilingkari hitam).
- Langkah selanjutnya adalah mengelompokkan gallery foto ke dalam Album April 2010 tersebut. Pastikan pada bagian Select Album, yang terpilih adalah “April 2010”. Kemudian, pindahkan beberapa gallery yang ingin dikelompokkan ke dalam album tersebut dengan cara mengdrag satu persatu dari kolom “Select Gellery” ke kolom Album April 2010. Setelah itu klik tombol “Update”.
- Untuk menampilkan foto-foto tersebut ke dalam front site, kita bisa melakukannya dengan menampilkan pada page baru. Buatlah sebuah page dengan mengklik menu “Add New” pada bagian “Pages”. Beri nama “Album Foto”.
- Pastikan pilih tab “Visual”. Pada tools box kotak pengisian page tersebut, terdapat tombol “Add NextGEN Gallery” yang dilingkari merah pada di bawah.
Klik tombol tersebut, maka akan muncul popup window untuk memilih Album, Gallery, atau Foto yang akan kita tampilkan. Sebagai contoh, kita akan menampilkan foto-foto yang telah dikelompokkan ke dalam Album April 2010 tadi. Untuk itu, pilih tab “Album”, kemudian pilih Album April 2010. Setelah itu, klik tombol Insert.
- Maka pada kotak isian page tersebut akan muncul sebuah tag yang berfungsi untuk menampilkan Album April 2010.
- “Id=3” menunjukkan Album yang ditampilkan adalah album dengan ID = 3, yang dalam hal ini adalah Album April 2010. Sedankan “template=compact” berarti Album akan ditampilkan dalam bentuk “compact”. Untuk melihat perbedaannya, silahkan coba menampilkan album dengan mode template yang berbeda, baik Compact maupun Extended. Hasilnya akan terlihat seperti Gambar berikut:
The wordpress system has these elements :
- Posts
- Categories
- Pages
- Link Categories
- Links
- Plugins
- Themes
The
majority of wordpress system runs on these seven fundamental things.
Out of these, the first 5 are related to the content, Plugins add new
functionalities to your wordpress blog, and the free wordpress themes
take care of the presentation of your blog. Let us begin the journey of
this tutorial with an insight on the “Wordpress Posts” or simply
“Posts”.
Posts
Posts are the very basic unit of any wordpress system. Posts are elements of wordpress that basically store your content. If you are using a wordpress 2.7+ installation, which I seriously recommend you should, you will see in your dashboard, the page you first see after logging in, there is a section names “Quickpress”. Quickpress allows you to add posts quickly to your wordpress blog. You can quickly add your posts here. It also lets you insert images in your posts using the Upload/Insert icons. You can click them, and it will take you to a beautiful media gallery section. Here you can upload images, flash files etc. with ease. You can also add new posts in the posts section. The image below shows you a brief overview of wordpress dashboard.

Categories
Now lets make a move to the categories. Imagine having a single book in your college for all your subjects. Can you figure out the horror you would have when you were actually to read your own notes! Having subject wise notes becomes so much easy to read. Same is the case for blogs. Categorizing your blog posts is absolutely essential. Now with advent of newer releases of wordpress, categorizing your posts is absolutely easy! When you go to write a post section, on the right column, you will find the categories in third section, though this is totally configurable, but the default installation has it over there. You can either chose the category of your post here or create a new one. Apart from that, you can have any amount of heirarchy in your categories. Now that is what I call flexibility!

Pages
The next in the queue is the pages section. The pages are wordpress’ new way of putting in content. Addition of pages has made wordpress a new CMS in itself. The major advantage of wordpress has been the result of the pages system. Each page can have a template of its own. So adding pages can give you a complete flexibility of layout. You can add pages by clicking on Pages -> Add New. To manage pages that you have already created, you can simply click Pages -> Edit. To chose a custom free template for your page, you can check the Attributes section as shown in the image below. To create a page hierarchy, you can simply modify the parent of the page. This will again organize your pages. An example of page hierarchy would be something like:

Links and Link Categories
The next come the links section. The links section helps you manage the links to your own / other websites that you like. Using the links, you can let the world know about the sites that you like. Using links is really optional, and you can promote the websites you want using them You can categorize your links too using the Link Categories. Categorizing them will let you organize your links and also make them more meaningful to you readers.
