If you have a WordPress based site the good news is that it is easier to optimize than many other types of website. Here is a quick WordPress SEO Checklist to help you optimize your blog more easily.
1) Install an SEO Plugin – an SEO plugin can assist you in optimizing your blog posts and home page. I recommend using the Platinum SEO plugin.
2) Use your keywords within each blog post – choose a different keyword for each blog post that you make and include the keyword phrase in the blog post title, tags, throughout the blog post, in the alt tags and in the meta keywords and description.
3) Setup your permalinks correctly – ensure that the name of your post makes up part of the permalink.
4) Bookmark your post – use a tool like OnlyWire to bookmark each blog post you make. This will help you get some backlinks and also allow your posts to get indexed more quickly.
