If you need to attract more traffic to your wordpress site, you need to take care of it, and I’m not talking just about the content, I’m talking about optimizing it. Make it more attractive, more eye candy, so people will stay more than 10 seconds and see what is on it. We have compiled 5 simple steps to optimize your wordpress site.

Search engine optimization has come a long way since its early days in the mid 90’s. Back then, what you had to do as a webmaster was to submit a URL to the various search engines out there, which would then send a “spider” to “crawl” the page (this was the 90’s), extract links to other pages, and index information found on the page.

So you’re going to create your website. Piece of cake, right? You’ve been working in the design industry, how hard can it be to create a successful website for someone like you? Pretty hard, as it turns out. You shouldn’t panic, but you should definitely not take this lightly either.

Ever been tempted to upload your image to your WordPress dashboard and just insert it in a post as is? Of course, we all have at some point. Thing is, if you use images that way, your WordPress site (any type of site for that matter) will soon get really clunky and you’ll even lose search engine rankings because of that. Let me explain how to use images properly both in terms of SEO and overall site performance.

The Internet is all about choices. But, once you’ve made all these choices and finally have a blog, on a platform, on a domain you bought or on a .blogger, .wordpress, .tumblr or another free domain, with a custom-built or generic theme, you find yourself with the biggest question you’ll have to ask yourself while blogging. That question is, of course, “How do I make myself noticed amongst the millions of other blogs out there?”
