In this article, I am giving you useful wordpress tips which
you can use to not only increase your traffic, but also
improve your rankings and the ad revenue. These tips are
useful not only for newbies but for those who have their
running blogs.
Optimizing Robots.txt file: When you set up a blog, you
probably have many concerns over the activity of search
engines. There are certain pages which you dont want people
to find via search engines. There must be some way to
prevent them from crawling and indexing such pages. The
robots.txt file provides you such an option.
You can use the robots.txt file to mention the pages, feeds
and any URL which you dont want to get indexed in search
engine listings. You can even disallow certain bots from
crawling your pages. All this can be done by making changes
to your robots.txt file.
Use Pinging Services: Free pinging services are available to
tell search engines that you have updated your blog. Such
services are freely available. You can even get some
software to notify the pinging services about various blogs.
Everything can be managed in one click.
Update Frequently: The blog should be updated often. It is
important to keep posting quite often. This will send a
message to the search engines that you have fresh content.
It will probably result in better rankings and traffic. It
is best to update around 3 times a week. You can even
schedule the posts in wordpress so that they will be
published on the set date.
Encourage Blog Comments: There are various methods of
encouraging blog comments. You can install the plugin You
comment I Follow. Providing Do Follow comments is a nice way
to getting more participants in the ongoing discussion.
You should also not worry about the comment spam. You can
use akismet plugin to fight spam automatically. You can also
remove spam by moderating every comment. But take the time
to reply to comments.
