How to rank high in Google with WordPress SEO

Use WordPress, write something of value, use a good theme and organizes it without too much clutter and use a couple SEO plugins. That is it. Do not spend 1000s on  SEO consulting.

This is the real trick.  Many people have WordPress blogs.  Further, a lot of
people use WordPress as the back end for their regular site.  I use WP on most of my sites even my none blogs website.  I believe in WP.  How do you rank high with search engines and do it honestly and ethically? Well Matt Cutt’s has written something that I have been saying all along.  His post is here ->  WordPress SEO

Three SEO steps

1)Install WordPress and this will increase your chances of a good site ranking – Basically there is nothing new under the sun, and Matt’s post might be straight from Google but it has nothing ground braking in it.  Matt Cutt’s ideas is that WordPress does the SEO coding for you.  WP has people have been working on the back end, day and night improving it and it is for free.

WordPress people improve WordPress not for money but because they are passionate about this platform, it is not even work, it is fun for them.  Use this blogging platform and use it with a few plugins. Then you know your code will be pretty well SEO -ed.

2)Rank high in Google with compelling content – The next step, and it is the hard part, is to be creative.  I will write another
post about this.  But basically, the Internet is the largest recycle bin in the Cosmos.  Use your imagination.  This is how you will get traffic.  Imagination applied to your content, not to ways of spamming or tricking Google.  I like creating an educational resource part of my site, such as an online series of quizes and educational help guides. But also interesting blog posts do not hurt. Some people like crazy funny videos, it is whatever you are good at, this will attract visits and increase user experience and time on the site.

3)The last step to ranking high is marketing (Guest Posting) -  I will also go into this in another post. But it is basically connected with theme optimization and plugins. I think guest posting is the best way right now to market your site. Get the buzz out there by writing quality content on another visible blog and people might visit your site and subscribe to your RSS.  What if you did 50 guest posts? Can you imagine how powerful your site would be.

If you follow these three steps your sites will take off and you will rank high in Google with your WordPress  and SEO applied, if you want more specific advise read my WordPress consulting page. I can guide you, but I think most of what you need to know about SEO can be found online. However, I can coach you and give you more specific advise. I have paid for advice before and in every case it help me get more traffic.
