10 Killer SEO Tricks with Wordpress
If you are new to Search Engine Optimization (SEO) one of the things you learn is that search engines love new content and blogs are the main vein to search engine love. There are many sites out on the web dedicated to ninja-like SEO tips for using blogs to increase your site mojo, most are dedicated to Wordpress, the current king of the blog software landscape. I have poured over many of these blog posts and found the best on the Moonlight blog.
I bring you the top 10 Killer SEO Tricks to Wordpress (so far…) – from the Moonlight Blog:
1. Optimize WordPress Permalinks
The most search-engine friendly permalink MUST includes the post title (%postname%) in the link,having keywords in your URL is an absolute must, In your WP admin panel, click on the “Options” tab, then the “Permalinks” sub-tab, and choose the option just below the “Default” permalink option. My suggest permalink structure is /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ or /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%.html .
2. Optimize WordPress Post Titles
The post title is the most important part of the blog post for many reasons. From your reader’s perspective, a descriptive and compelling title helps them decide if your post is worth reading or not. From an SEO perspective, think about the keywords or phrases people might type into a search box to find your post, and use those words or phrases in your post title.
3. Optimize WordPress Page Titles
According to most SEO experts, the page title tag is one of the most important tags on your page. In most WP themes, you’ll find the page title tag in the Header Template, and the default version ususally looks very poor SEO. I suggest you to use a WordPress plugin so call “All in One SEO Pack” to fix that problem.
4. Optimize WordPress robots.txt
The robots.txt file is used to instruct search engine robots about what pages on your website should be crawled and consequently indexed. Most websites have files and folders that are not relevant for search engines (like images or admin files) therefore creating a robots.txt file can actually improve your website indexation. Here is an SEO optimized WordPress robots.txt file.
User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-
Disallow: /feed/
Disallow: /comments/feed
Disallow: /trackback/5. Use Google Sitemaps Plugin
Google Sitemaps is an easy way for you to submit all your URLs to the Google index and get detailed reports about the visibility of your pages on Google. WordPress user Arne Brachold has made the sitemap creation and submission process fairly simple with his Google Sitemap plugin. This plugin will create a sitemap for you and submit it to Google.
6. Use Wordpress Anti-SPAM Plugin
Akismet is the best automated spam killer that actually gets better as it learns from the whole community marking new spam comments as spam.
7. Use Related Posts
Amaury BALMER’s Simple Tags plugin is a perfect tool to manage perfeclty your WP 2.3 tags, which can show related posts on your post and rss feed. Not only does it enhance your blog’s usability, but it also helps create a dense link structure throughout your site, which makes it easier for the search engine spiders to find and index older blog posts.
8. Use Ping services
Use the Update service function, to inform tracking services that you have updated your weblog. By default, Wordpress pings rpc.pingomatic.com, which is good (if you don’t want to change this, you don’t have to).
9. Make your content searchable
Make sure your navigation bar is present on all pages of your blog. Your previous posts or atleast the popular ones should be linked to all pages so they get spidered easily.
10. Update your blog frequently
Update your blog frequently using all the rules mentioned above and your blog will surely get top rankings in a short time.

What You Can Do Before You Can Make Money From Your Blog
Some people are interested with the idea of blogging to generate income online, and of course there is nothing wrong with it. However, being able of earning money from blogging takes time, seriously. From my own experience, I needed three to four months to build my blog before being able of generating money in a decent amount out of it. However, the actual meaning of this “decent” is probably different for each person, therefore the required time may be different for you.
Why is the waiting? Simple, because getting the reputations that are needed in monetizing your blog takes time. The reputations I mean here are Google Pagerank, Traffic, Link Popularity, Alexa ranking, etc. For example, pagerank is updated once in three to four months. No matter what you do, your blog will not rep up until the next update. That’s why you should be patient in the waiting.
These reputations will build your bargaining position in monetizing later on. Without strong bargaining position, you cannot make money well my friend. If you are not patient enough, you have to do something to help you wait. So, here a few things you can do before you can monetize your blog:
1. Enjoy building your blog
This is the basic rule dude. If you don’t enjoy your blogging activity, you won’t stand the waiting. If you can’t wait until your blog rep up, you can never obtain the bargaining position you need to generate money. It is that simple.
If you enjoy your activity, you will still do it even though it brings no money to you. It is not always about the money after all. All bloggers with 6-figures income per year (on USD) love and enjoy what they do. Blogging gives them pleasure and satisfaction, besides money.
If you have all money in the world, what would you do? Blogging?
2. Monitoring your blog
When you start blogging, your blog is like your pet. You can grow it one step at a time, and satisfactory watch it every time it grows bigger. You can change how it looks and interact with other people. You can say that your blog is like an online Tamagotchi. The difference is that if you serious, it can bring you serious money.
There are a lot of things you can monitor on your blog, like traffic (visitors), link popularity, comments, search engine positions, etc. They represent the reputation of your blog, and also function as growthindicators. We will discuss this matter in another articles, since I don’t want make this post long and tiring for you to read.
It is fun to watch your blog grows, trust me.
3. Learning from other blogs
Another thing you can do before you can monetize your blog is improving your knowledge. You see, to be successful in blogging, you have to learn some knowledge as a support. And reading posts from other blogs is a decent way to enrich your knowledge, expanding your horizon. It will make your mind open to new ideas while at the same time, trying to interact with them. It is helpful in building your way of thinking in a positive manner, making you a wiser and more knowledgeable blogger.
This learning here doesn’t have to be from posts reading. You can learn from other things as well, for example: sidebars. If you find a good gadget on the sidebar of a blog somewhere out there, why don’t you put one on your blog? Then you learn how to add it to your blog, thus you are growing.
OK fellas, those are few things to help you cope with the waiting. The point is you have to be patient because the process of being able to earn money takes time. You can create a blog today, but you cannot expect to be able to make money from it tomorrow, right? It takes time and you need to do what you need do to help you deal with the waiting.

Don’t Miss ‘31 Days to Build a Better Blog’
As you probably know, Darren Rowse from Problogger run a challenge last month titled 31 Days to Build a Better Blog. Here is how he described it:
The idea is simple. By the end of this challenge you’ll have learned 31 aspects of blogging and put them into practice. It is designed not only to fill your head with knowledge ABOUT blogging, but also to give you some concrete things to actually DO something with the knowledge.
Basically each day you had a teaching and a task. The teaching would give you the concepts and theory, and the task would force you to take action on what you had just learned. Over 13,000 people participated in the challenge, and the feedback that Darren got was very good. So good, in fact, that he decided to create a workbook out of it.
He sent me a copy of it via email, and it is packed with information. There are 94 pages of pure content, with all the 31 tasks, teachings, images and links to useful posts and tools. Here is a screenshot of one of the tasks:
If you want to improve your blog but somehow always procrastinate, therefore, I would highly recommend the workbook. And the interesting thing is that you can use it in several ways, as Darren mentioned. Some people will want to do an intensive training and will ready it all at once. Others will follow the 31 days schedule and work on one task every day. Others yet might take the slow route and do one task every week. The important thing is that the ebook will get you going and actually doing something.
The workbook costs $19.95. Check out Darren’s post about the workbook for more info, or purchase it directly from here 
How Bloggers Make Money From Blogs
Can people actually blog for a living? Yes. Many bloggers can live from blogging. The successful ones can even make up to seven figures of income per year (in USD) from full-time blogging.
How do they make money from their blogs? This post covers all the popular methods of make money blogging, including when to use each, how they work, how to succeed in each, and a few relevant links to start your own make money blogging experience. Ready? Here they are:
1. Review
Writing product / service reviews (in form of permanent blog posts) can generate money quite easy for intermediate bloggers. For bloggers whose traffic is not enough to use other methods effectively, writing reviews might be the only option. A review minimally earns $2-5 each, compare it with CPC (cost-per-click) ads: $0.05-0.20 /click.
How it works? First, bloggers sign up to a review company. The company chooses to approve or not based on their rules. If accepted, bloggers will get the offers to write reviews by only waiting or actively bidding, depending on the system used. After getting offers / jobs, they have to write based on guidelines. If the results are not against the rules, bloggers will be paid.
How to succeed? Bloggers need to have a credible blog, showed by good rankings in blogosphere (pagerank, link popularity, Alexa ranking, Technorati ranking, RSS readers, subscribers, etc). Having avisually impressive blog is also good because some companies apply manual approval system by human staff (in the signing up). However, each review company usually has its own unique requirements. Bloggers whose rank are not too good might not get accepted in the company, let alone receive any job / offer to review.
Example of famous review companies: ReviewMe, Blogsvertise, SR.
2. Affiliate
Becoming an affiliate of a product or service can also become the source of income. They pay good. Some affiliate program share up to 40% of sales. It does not really need much traffic also, though having more is better.
How it works? First, bloggers sign up to affiliate programs of products / services. Afterward, bloggers will get an affiliate link / banner to put on their blogs. If a potential customer clicks the affiliate link then buys the product / service, the blogger earns a commission.
To be successful in affiliating, bloggers needs to find the affiliate programs that are relevant to their blogs. Having more traffic is also helpful in increasing the chance of earning commissions. Becoming an affiliate of companies that are reputable / delivering genuine value is always better. Don’t promote bad products / services.
To find affiliate programs to join, find services/ products that are in the same field as your blog. See if they have an affiliate program that you can join.
3. Advertising
Advertising is the top-tier income source in blogging industry. Most of successful bloggers earn a good deal of money from this method. It is a stable and reliable method, once you have grown solid traffic.
How it works? First, bloggers sign up to an advertising company. Afterward, they can get codes to put in their blog. After the codes are installed, the ads will appear in the blog. Bloggers receive money depending on the methods of payment.
Ads are paid in variable ways, such as pay-per-click, pay-per-million, and direct payment. Pay-per-click means bloggers get money every time a visitors clicks the ads. In pay-per-million, bloggers earn money for every 1000 pageviews of ads. Direct selling advertising means advertisers buy the ads directly from the bloggers. The price of direct selling ads is usually in monthly basis and defined by the blogger.
Ads have many forms and sizes. Banner is a very popular form, including horizontal banner and vertical one. Button is another form, along with text-link ads. Each advertising company might have different support regarding the form and size. Some support more, some support less. The most popular sizes of banner ads are 728×90 and 468×60 horizontal banner (size in pixels), 160×600 vertical banner, 125×125 button, and text-link ads. All major advertising companies support those sizes.
To be successful in advertising method, bloggers need a lot of traffic daily, at least 1000 visitors / day. That number is considered a minimum to generate decent amount of money. If your traffic is low and you insist on advertising method, you might not get significant results.
Example of well-known advertising companies: Google Adsense, Chitika, LinkWorth, Performancing Ads.
How to receive the money?
The most popular method to receive the payment from the methods above is using Paypal. From your Paypal account, you can easily transfer your income to your local bank account / credit card.
If you are serious about making money from blogging, you should have a Paypal account to receive international payments online. If you don’t have one, you will be crippled in making money from blogs. Checks are ice age.
When to start make money blogging?
After you set up your blog, you can’t just make money right away. It takes time to get the bargaining position and traffic you need to monetize well, according to content-is-king blogging strategy. Meanwhile, you might want to read: What You Can Do before You Can Make Money from Blogs.
Growing your monetizing ability means growing your blog. The higher you grow your readership and traffic, the more revenue you can gain from monetizing your blog. The faster you grow your site, the faster your monetizing strategy works. Therefore, to build the earning from your blog better, you need to build your blog better and build it fast.
Alright folks. I hope this article can give some clues on how to make a good income from your blog. However, making money from blog involves broader discussions. But don’t worry, I will write about them more.

This is a well written, no fluff, eBook that makes the writing process actually seem doable.
But what about a publishing company? That’s a lot of overhead that you don’t need to deal with. Get started today, have your book done in 1 week, and then set up a simple one-page website to sell it directly to the public. Those fancy publishing companies don’t actually promote the book for you, then only “publish” it. That’s why most authors are who get published by these big firms don’t make any money from it.
Why not write your book, then take your destiny into your own hands and promote it yourself. It’s MUCH easier than it sounds. Yes, there’s work involved, but you can do it, just like I did.
So what are YOU waiting for? Download Jim Edward’s excellent guide and get started today.

Type tells a story
If you write it down, we’re going to judge it.
Not just the words, we’re going to judge you even before we read the words. The typography you use, whether it’s a handwritten note or a glossy brochure, sends a message.
Some typefaces are judged in a similar way by most people you’re addressing (Times Roman in a Word document or Helvetica on a street sign or Myriad Pro on a website) but even when you choose something as simple as a typeface, be prepared for people to misunderstand you.
If you send me a flyer with dated, cheesy or overused type, it’s like showing up in a leisure suit for a first date. If your website looks like Geocities or some scammy info marketer, I won’t even stay long enough to read it.
Like a wardrobe, I think a few simple guidelines can save amateurs like us a lot of time:
1. Invest some time and money up front to come up with a house style that actually looks the way you want it to, one that tells the story you want to tell. Hire a designer, put in some effort. A headline font, a body font, one or two extras. That’s your outfit, just like the four suits you rotate through your closet.
2. “What does this remind you of?” No need to be a pioneer (unless that’s the story you want me remember). Find a combination of typefaces that remind your chosen audience of the sort of organization you want to remind them of. Hint: italic wedding invitation fonts in the body of your email remind me of nothing except other people who have wasted my time…
3. Be consistent. Don’t change it when you get bored. Don’t change it when your staff gets bored. Change it when the accountant and marketing guys tell you it’s not working any longer.

27 Blogging Secrets to Power Your Community
Starter Moves
- An intriguing title goes a long way towards getting people to the blog. Failing that, posts with numbers seem to work. Especially weird or odd numbers. 27 is odd.
- A picture per blog post has been my trick for a while. It draws your eye, whether or not you want it to. We’re wired for it. I use Flickr Creative Commons photos to do that. (Make sure you give them adequate credit. I show that in this post, too.)
- Did you ever notice most of my posts open by asking a question? That’s a secret. When I do that, you stop and think about the question. But more importantly, it shifts your mind to the “what’s in it for me” sphere that you started reading from in the first place. Make sense?
- Break things up visually. Notice that I have an H3 tag (html speak) title repeating the top title, and that I’m using a list to give your eye some natural “chunking.” Go back and read cafe-shaped conversations for an example.
- Oh, maybe I should’ve started the post by saying that it helps if you write something useful for people. People want posts they can use to improve themselves or their business.
- Brevity rules. I mention this a lot. People just don’t read long posts (usually). There are exceptions. I read every word Ann Handley writes, and often wish for more.
- Write “unfinished” posts. Having ways that others can add to a post or improve on it invites participation. This might just mean asking for ideas or getting a sense of what others’ experiences are.
- Mix up the length of your posts, so that people can read varied length articles, like magazines and newspapers do.
- Consider an editorial calendar, where you write down which TYPE of blog posts you’ve written lately, and which you intend to write. This helps you from doing recurring posts, and gives some variety to what you’re writing.
- A nice clean blogging theme goes a long way. I’m a huge fan of Thesis for WordPress (so much so that I became an affiliate for it).
- Make it easy for people to subscribe to your post. Most people stop at putting a big orange RSS button up in the corner of their blog. Check out my sidebar. Check out the Financial Aid Podcast. Look how many ways we show people how to stay connected to the community. That’s not by accident.
- I’ve said it before. Claim your blog in Technorati. You don’t have to like Technorati. You don’t have to think it works well. But it triggers mechanisms you need.
- Consider changing your permalinks structure. (In WordPress, this is in Settings/Permalinks. Where is it in MT or Blogger?) I learned this from Chris Pearson. Change it to custom and put /%postname%/. If you click on any post including this one, you’ll see it all written out in plain English without extra info. (This is a preference).
- If you worry that a post might get “lifted,” or if you encourage people to repost your work with attribution (which I encourage), include a few links in the original post that will politely show people where the content came from. I learned this from Christopher S. Penn.
- Consider every plugin and widget. Do they improve your blog or slow it down? Do they help you blog smarter?
- Learn a little more HTML, just a bit. Learn how to make links, how to add photos, how to bold and italicize things, and that. If you’re stuck, Google or “view source” on blogs that do what you want to accomplish. (For example, I had to learn how to stop and start a numbered list with ol start=”10″ to write this.)
- Don’t force people to register for an account to comment on the blog. Lots of people won’t. (Your mileage may vary, but corporations try this all the time because they’re worried about someone leaving a “your company sucks” comment on the blog. It doesn’t fix that. It slows down real discourse.)
- Technology should serve your community and your content, not just be there. Consider every technological change with that lens.
The Bonus Round
- Share your posts politely via social platforms. In Twitter, I usually ask a question, and provide a link to the blog post to see what people think. I don’t “blurt” the blog posts automatically. Not every post is worth Twitter.
- Facebook has tools like Simplaris Blogcast that integrate your blog into Facebook. So does LinkedIn. This falls into my outposts strategy.
- Link out to other blogs often.
- Comment on other blogs often. Thoughtfully. Adding thoughtful comments to other people’s posts builds friendships. I was a passionate commenter onCopyblogger back when I had 10 subscribers on my blog. Brian was still really nice to me.
- Remember to comment in your own comments section. Conversations with your readers turn them from readers into a community.
- Showcase your community. I do this with my Rockstars page (which needs updating) and by taking the occasional guest post.
- Be consistent. You don’t have to blog daily, but if you blog once a week, get atleast a post a week. Need blog topics?
- Repoint to the old stuff occasionally. It’s often still useful to new community members.
- Keep giving. When you can’t think of what else to give, give some more. Being helpful is the #1 thing you can do for your community. Share your secrets. You can’t execute them all anyhow.
Technical Stuff
Your Ideas

Things You Should Know About People: Dopamine Makes You Addicted To Seeking Information
Do you ever feel like you are addicted to email or twitter or texting? Do you find it impossible to ignore your email if you see that there are messages in your inbox? Have you ever gone to Google to look up some information and 30 minutes later you realize that you’ve been reading and linking, and searching around for a long time, and you are now searching for something totally different than before? These are all examples of your dopamine system at work.
Enter dopamine – Neuro scientists have been studying what they call the dopamine system for a while. Dopamine was “discovered” in 1958 by Arvid Carlsson and Nils-Ake Hillarp at the National Heart Institute of Sweden. Dopamine is created in various parts of the brain and is critical in all sorts of brain functions, including thinking, moving, sleeping, mood, attention, and motivation, seeking and reward.
The myth — You may have heard that dopamine controls the “pleasure” systems of the brain: that dopamine makes you feel enjoyment, pleasure, and therefore motivates you to seek out certain behaviors, such as food, sex, and drugs.
It’s all about seeking — The latest research, though is changing this view. Instead of dopamine causing us to experience pleasure, the latest research shows that dopamine causes seeking behavior. Dopamine causes us to want, desire, seek out, and search. It increases our general level of arousal and our goal-directed behavior. (From an evolutionary stand-point this is critical. The dopamine seeking system keeps us motivated to move through our world, learn, and survive). It’s not just about physical needs such as food, or sex, but also about abstract concepts. Dopamine makes us curious about ideas and fuels our searching for information. The latest research shows that it is the opoid system (separate from dopamine) that makes us feel pleasure.
Wanting vs. liking – According to Kent Berridge, these two systems, the “wanting” (dopamine) and the “liking” (opoid) are complementary. The wanting system propels us to action and the liking system makes us feel satisfied and therefore pause our seeking. If our seeking isn’t turned off at least for a little while, then we start to run in an endless loop. The latest research shows that the dopamine system is stronger than the opoid system. We seek more than we are satisfied (back to evolution… seeking is more likely to keep us alive than sitting around in a satisfied stupor).
A dopamine induced loop – With the internet, twitter, and texting we now have almost instant gratification of our desire to seek. Want to talk to someone right away? Send a text and they respond in a few seconds. Want to look up some information? Just type it into google. What to see what your friends are up to? Go to twitter or facebook. We get into a dopamine induced loop… dopamine starts us seeking, then we get rewarded for the seeking which makes us seek more. It becomes harder and harder to stop looking at email, stop texting, stop checking our cell phones to see if we have a message or a new text.
Anticipation is better than getting — Brain scan research shows that our brains show more stimulation and activity when we ANTICIPATE a reward than when we get one. Research on rats shows that if you destroy dopamine neurons, rats can walk, chew, and swallow, but will starve to death even when food is right next to them. They have lost the desire to go get the food.
More, more, more – Although wanting and liking are related, research also shows that the dopamine system doesn’t have satiety built in. It is possible for the dopamine system to keep saying “more more more”, seeking even when we have found the information. During that google exploration we know that we have the answer to the question we originally asked, and yet we find ourselves looking for more information and more and more.
Unpredictable is the key — Dopamine is also stimulated by unpredictability. When something happens that is not exactly predictable, that stimulates the dopamine system. Think about these electronic gadgets and devices. Our emails and twitters and texts show up, but we don’t know exactly when they will or who they will be from. It’s unpredictable. This is exactly what stimulates the dopamine system. It’s the same system at work for gambling and slot machines. (For those of you reading this who are “old school” psychologists, you may remember “variable reinforcement schedules”. Dopamine is involved in variable reinforcement schedules. This is why these are so powerful).
When you hear the “ding” that you have a text – The dopamine system is especially sensitive to “cues” that a reward is coming. If there is a small, specific cue that signifies that something is going to happen, that sets off our dopamine system. So when there is a sound when a text message or email arrives, or a visual cue, that enhances the addictive effect (for the psychologists out there: remember Pavlov).
140 characters is even more addictive – And the dopamine system is most powerfully stimulated when the information coming in is small so that it doesn’t full satisfy. A short text or twitter (can only be 140 characters!) is ideally suited to send our dopamine system raging.
Not without costs — This constant stimulation of the dopamine system can be exhausting. We are getting caught in an endless dopamine loop.
Write a comment and share whether you get caught in these dopamine loops and whether you think we should use what we know about these systems to create devices and websites that stimulate them.
And for those of you who like research:

How to Blog Almost Every Day
How to Blog Almost Every Day
(Original post by Chris Brogan)
- Read something new every day. Need a starting point? Try Alltop. (Hint: read something outside your particular circle to get new thoughts).
- Talk with people every day. I get many of my topic ideas from questions people pose to me, or through conversations.
- Write down titles and topic ideas in a notepad file. ( I’ve given you 100 blog topics and another 20 blog topics just to get started.)
- Maintain a healthy bookmarking and revisiting habit. I use Delicious.com
- Find 20-40 minutes in every day to sit still and type.
- Follow an easy framework. Here are 27 blogging secrets to start you on what I mean.
- Get the post up fast, not perfect. You can edit if you have to, later. Perfectionism kills good habits.
- Dissect other people’s posts to understand what makes them tick. The more you understand of HOW they write, the more you can take the best parts of it into how you write. (hint, my 27 blogging secrets post gives you my patterns.)
- Find useful and interesting pictures. I use Flickr photos licensed under Creative commons for most of my photos. This helps me sometimes get a great photo for a post I already have in mind, but it also gives me post material sometimes.
- Think about what your customers and prospects need. I write from the perspective of the communities I serve. Every post is aimed at something I believe will be helpful to my community in some form or another. This focus takes some weight off my worries about what I should write about or not. I write about what my community needs.
- Mix things up by sometimes blogging on paper first.
- Mix things up by writing guest posts for sites that aren’t like yours. This gives your mind new formats to think about. I did this recently as part of a project and I loved it.
- Mix things up by changing the lengths of your posts: some long, some brief. Learn what makes an impact how.
- Never worry about throwing up the occasional “best of” post, once you get enough material. Example: here’s My best advice about blogging.
It’s not easy, but once you develop the habits, they stick with you. I’m writing quite regularly now, but it took me several years to get my groove down to a science. Some days, it’s still thrown off. Busy schedules can get the best of us, no matter what. That said, try to keep some content “in the can,” so that you’re rarely at a loss to keep your audience happy.
What do you think? Any other ideas to add?
