Basic SEO For Wordpress
If you have a web page, i’m sure you want to see yourself at the first page at Google. If you know some hints that’s so easy. There are some different tips for your wish. Descriptions, keywords, sitemaps, ads etc…
But first point is absolutely SEO ( Search Engine Optimization ). If you are using SEO tactics for your web page, your face always smiles. With a basic example SEO is:
http://www.myuniversityblog.com/index.php?p=11 <<< Without SEO
http://www.myuniversityblog.com/tips/adsense <<< With SEO
To use SEO tactics of course there are different kinds of that. And you have thousands of free plug-ins.
But on the other hand if you are using Wordpress you DO NOT need any plug-in. You can do it easily.
Follow this steps and apply them:
- Log-in Your Dashboard
- At the left-column click the “Settings” and after “Permalinks”
- Under the Common Settings choose “Custom Structure”
- Write there one of the following codes.
You can understand each code how to edit your URL. Now that’s the permalinks for wordpress:
- /%category%/%postname%/
- /%category%/%postname%.html
- /%postname%/
Or you can create for you using this:
%year%
The year of the post, four digits, for example 2004
%monthnum%
Month of the year, for example 05
%day%
Day of the month, for example 28
%hour%
Hour of the day, for example 15
%minute%
Minute of the hour, for example 43
%second%
Second of the minute, for example 33
%postname%
A sanitized 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 (see Using only %postname%). Starting Permalinks with %postname% is strongly not recommended for performance reasons.. *** Note - this has been changed and is ok to do since ver. 2.0
%post_id%
The unique ID # of the post, for example 423
%category%
A sanitized version of the category name (category slug field on New/Edit Category panel). Nested sub-categories appear as nested directories in the URI. Starting Permalinks with %category% is strongly not recommended for performance reasons.
%tag%
A sanitized version of the tag name (tag slug field on New/Edit Tag panel). Starting Permalinks with %tag% is strongly not recommended for performance reasons.
%author%
A sanitized version of the author name.
