SEO & WordPress:
What have we got?
• Good basic theme
(twentyten, turn of comment pagination though)
• Lot’s of Plug-ins
• Search Engine Friendly out of the box
• Pages (hierarchical)
• Posts (chronological)
• Taxonomies ftw!
3
Roy Huiskes - roy@chapter42.com - www.chapter42.com
What’s missing?
• Bloggers with knowledge of SEO
• Easy Internal Linking (will come in 3.1)
• Redirects, at least some custom stuff.
• A plan
4
Let’s fix this.
Roy Huiskes - roy@chapter42.com - www.chapter42.com
How to run a proper SEO strategy?
• Think about keywords (you think) you’re relevant for
• Use Pages for ranking instead of Posts
• Internal linking
• On-page stuff needs to be right
(go read a book: the Art of SEO)
• Off-page
(don’t forget to promote your precious work)
• Keep trying and learning
5

Pages vs. Posts
• Posts are most of the time categorized by your
timeline.The older, the deeper in the site it will
end up.
• If it ranks well, give it a good, solid, place in your
structure. Give it a page.
(post type switcher plugin ftw)
• Keep updating (and linking to) the page every once
and while
• Redirect the old Post to the Page (redirection)
8
Roy Huiskes - roy@chapter42.com - www.chapter42.com
Which SEO Plugins I recommend, and why?
• SEO smart links (or ‘automatic SEO links’)
• WordPress SEO
• Post type switcher
• Redirection
• Link to Post
• SEO Pager
• YARPP
9
Roy Huiskes - roy@chapter42.com - www.chapter42.com
SEO Smart links
10
Roy Huiskes - roy@chapter42.com - www.chapter42.com
SEO Smart links: Settings
11
• Link only to pages automatically
• Target only Posts and Pages
• Prevent linking in headers
• Don’t overdo it. Keep the user in mind.
• Cache it (or let your server die slowly...)
Roy Huiskes - roy@chapter42.com - www.chapter42.com
WordPress SEO
• Replaces:
- Meta Robots
- Breadcrumbs
- Headspace
• Compatible with W3Total Cache
• Free! (great paid upgrade packages though)

Link to Post
15

SEO Pager
16
Roy Huiskes - roy@chapter42.com - www.chapter42.com
The usual suspect plugin list:
17
•http://www.w3-edge.com/wordpress-plugins/w3-total-cache/
•http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/better-search/
•http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/redirection/
•http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analytics-for-
wordpress/
•http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/link-to-post/
•http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/cms-tree-page-view/
•http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-db-backup/
•http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-automatic-links/
•http://www.seoegghead.com/software/wordpress-seo-pager.seo
•http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-paginate/
•http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-seo/
•http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/post-type-switcher/
•http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/subpages-widget/
Roy Huiskes - roy@chapter42.com - www.chapter42.com
Remember though:
free stuff, isn’t always free.
• Check for ‘bad’/‘commercial’ footer links in themes
and plugins
• It would be smart if you didn’t use code that you
can’t read.
• Try this in Google every once and a while:“viagra
viagra OR cialis OR poker OR casino
site:chapter42.com”
• nofollow crappy commenters.
18
Roy Huiskes - roy@chapter42.com - www.chapter42.com
Protect yourself
19
Stuff like this hurts your reputation at Google.
