Wordpress : Optimize Your Blog

Jan 6th 09 Posted by vinson in Wordpress

According to Patrick Bennett, a WordPress guru since 2006 there are important plugins and ways that you need to apply to boost your WordPress blog and to make it more search engine friendly.

Here is a list of options and plugins to install:

Permalinks – this option is already in WordPress, it just need to be activated.
Aksimet – a plugin shipped with WordPress, that needs to be activated. I uses Aksimet webservices to detect the spam comments.
Google Sitemap Generator – a plugin that help Google crawlers to index the blog more efficiently. Yahoo and Microsoft agreed to use the same sitemap protocol.
All in One SEO Pack – a plugin which tweak the blog in order to block search engines detecting duplicate content.
Use FeedBurner and Feedzilla- to send your feeds to the people subscribed to one of those services.
