However, one aspect of Wordpress has always bugged me. If you go to a typical wordpress post page, you will find that the important H1 tag is used up by the blog name and that the most important part of the post – the title of the post – is relegated to a meager H2. There’s no easy fix for this via the GUI and your best bet is to wade into the PHP files that make up your theme and hardcode the tags yourself – a bit complex if you don’t program, but you don’t need to know PHP to do that. If you can program in any language yourself, then you should be able to pick out the syntax easily. If you’re familiar with the ASP type spagghetti code, it’ll be a breeze.

The exact file to change will depend on your wordpress theme. What you need to do is the following:

1. Find the php file that gives your blog title the H1 tag. Could be header.php or index.php
2. Use the conditional statement is_single() to check if the page being displayed is a single post page or the home page or any other archive like page with multiple posts
3. If it’s a single post page, use H1 for the post title and the H2 tag for the blog name
4. Enter your style.css and change the styles of the H2 and H1 headings so that they look OK

If this looks complex, it’s because is. There’s no easy workaround. If you know of one, feel free to post your comments.

here are few tips which explains the SEO view points in brief.

If your website is design heavy and uses Frames, Dynamic URLs or Flash, you may have some additional worries when setting up your SEO, but there is a solution too.

Do not use frames if you can help it, try to avoid then as search engines will not read any real content within your website, resulting in very low page rankings.

If you feel that using dynamic URLs (any URL that contains ?, &, %, +, =, $, cgi-bin, .cgi) may not be ranked well and the URL should be reconfigured into something the search engine can recognize. Then you can go for URL rewriting using a function called Mod_rewrite which your developer can easily configure.

Search engines still cannot read most home pages made with Flash since they often do not contain any copy. Making sure your Flash home page carries excellent title, meta tags and few words about your site will help ensure a ranking for your site. Make minimum use of animations to prevent increase in your page load time, also visitors who are using low bandwidth may face trouble viewing your page. A website which load faster is good for visitors as well as SE’s.

Users often have their image readers turned off when surfing the web and images can contain code that is read by search engines. The alt=”keyword phrase here” coding is a good place to put commonly misspelled keywords, plurals or repeat the keyword phrasing from the content, title tag, meta description or copy of your website.

Keep your description brief and only use 2-3 keywords per image while accurately describing the image.

Again, I repeat, Do Not Try to Trick the Search Engine. While it may be tempting to duplicate webpages from your website for increased SEO, the search engines are smarter than you are so don’t do it. Listing keyword phrasing on your page in succession is a surefire way to get caught “cheating” by search engines and may result in your site being blacklisted.

Having strong content that utilizes your keyword phrasing in readable copy is the straight-and-narrow approach to legitimizing your website. Do not put keyword phrasing in the same color as the background to “hide” it or blend it into your website, this will be read by the search engines and will result in your website being kicked out of the search engine, leaving you high and dry with no hope of being listed.

Avoid ALT Stuffing at any cost and follow the guidelines set by SEO practitioners who have spent years of research before coming out to a conclusion.
