You may want to read our latest article Best posts on Bloghonour from Dec 2008
Many people love Wordpress because There are a lot of plugins that can help Wordpress users customize their website to meet their won needs. Cory Miller had published an article and discuss about why he loves Wordpress.
In his Cory’s artile, he mentioned that Google loves Wordpress. Although Wordpress comes with some basic SEO features such as including the ability to use .htaccess to create apparently static URLs called permalinks, blogrolling, and pinging, but the most important thing that you must do is make sure your Wordpress theme is optimized for search engine. You may get a very low ranking if you choose the wrong Wordpress theme.
So, if you are Wordpress theme developer, you need to make sure your themes are optimized for search enigne. Nathan Rice had wrote a series of guide to WordPress theme SEO, which i will like to recommend for all theme developers (It is worth to read even you are not theme developer).
Nathan had divided the series into different topics:
- Generating a sitemap for Google
- Getting your site indexed by Google
- Getting Google to index and follow the right stuff
- Using Keyword-Rich Permalinks
- Optimizing your <title>
- Optimizing your header tags
- Using META descriptions
- Using META keywords
- Keyword Density
- Deep Linking
