Blog Optimization Tricks

Change permalink structure
By default Wordpress permalinks are like “yourblog.com/?p=12” like your readers those numbers at the end of url does not make any sense to search spider either. But as I said we wordpress publishers are very lucky. You can change this structure from your control panel to do so follow these steps
Control panel >>> Setting >>> Permalink

Here u gets 5 choices for permalink structure

Default yourblog.com/?p=123
Day and name yourblog.com/2008/06/24/sample-post/
Month and name yourblog.com/2008/06/sample-post/
Numeric yourblog.com/archives/123
Custom Structure

Custom Structure offers you the ability to create a various URL structure for your permalinks and archives. U can use different tags to create your custom permalink

%postname%
A clean version of the title of the post (post slug field on Edit Post/Page panel). So “This Is A Great Post!” becomes this-is-a-great-post in the URI

%category%
A clean version of the category name (category slug field on New/Edit Category panel). Nested sub-categories appear as nested directories in the URI.

%author%
A sanitized version of the author name. (Use this if you are Darren Rowse or Brian Clark)

Blogger’s lab Suggestion
While all the pro blogger insist using only postname tag for your permalink. I would recommend using category tag along with postname. This will give you batter permalink as well as wide rang of keywords in your URL

And here some more tags you can use to create your custom permalink structure

Note:You must change your Permalink structure in the initial stages when you start a blog. If you already have bunch of post runing on your blog i would suggest you to install Permalink Redirection Plugin

Customize single post title
Page title is an important part of SEO. Google includes it in search results. And you don’t want Google to display your blogs name in every search result rather then your killer post title.
The most appropriate for single post page would be post title or post title followed by your blog name (i.e. post title | your blog name) rather then unnecessary stuffs like Your Blog >> Blog Archive >> Post Title
Use this code to achieve such title structures

<?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo(‘name’); } elseif ( is_category() ) { single_cat_title(); echo ' - ' ; bloginfo(‘name’); } elseif (is_single() ) { single_post_title();} elseif (is_page() ) { single_post_title();} else { wp_title(‘’,true); } ?>

This code will display your blog name on home page post title on single post page and category and blog name on category pages.

Make most of your Footer
Footer is a bunch of text displayed at the bottom of your pages. And it is probably the last thing that search spider would see. Footers usually look like this
Wordpress blog © Blog Name PassionDuo Blue theme by Dailyblogtips (if u are using free theme like I do)
Adding some keyword to the footer along with your blog name (Bloggers Lab | SEO Tips) or links to your blog categories will keep Google spider on your blog for little longer time
Wordpress publisher can edit their footer by navigating to Design >>> Theme Editor >>> footer.php. But don’t spam your footer with too many keywords and links.

These tricks will enhance your blogs appearance as well as make it more users friendly and search engine friendly.
