Search Engine Optimization Tips: Wordpress title tag

The beauty of Wordpress (One of the simplest platform to create a good SEO)
Quote Wikipedia "WordPress is used by over 14% of Alexa Internet's "top 1 million" websites"



Title tags and meta description are 2 of the most important 'tools' that should be used in SEO but almost always are being ignored.


As we can see here, in a search results page on Google.
The one in the red box, is actually the title and the one in blue is the meta description.

The biggest advantages of title and meta description is that, it is not only used to improve your overall SEO but it also can be use to attract viewers towards your website.

Search Engine Optimization Tips:
  1. Keywords that you are targeting must at least appear on your title and your meta description once.
  2. Every page on your website / blog should have a different title and meta description to target different keywords
  3. Do not forget you're attracting viewers to your website and not only Google bots so do make sure both the Title and Meta description are readable and interesting.
When it comes to Wordpress, we're talking about plug-ins. And here's one that I highly recommend to make your search engine optimization easier.

Platinum SEO Pack Plugin

Every new post you create, allows you to have an option to fill in your Title and Description.
This is especially great for those who have little or no idea of HTML.
With this you are ensure that you're able to create a different title tag for every page on your website easily.

You're also able to edit previous / existing post or pages in your site / blog.

The beauty of this is it allows you to create a different title tag from your post title making it possible for you to create an interesting post title but also having a SEO keyword rich title tag.
