Search Engine Strategies

Do you think Wordpress is supposed to be only for blogs? Wordpress is not just for bloggers because they can be used as your regular site, as well. Wordpress is what is called a Content Management System, CMS, and it has a lot of versatility to it. It is easily customized and, thanks to all of the different plug-ins that are being developed every day, you can quickly and simply get your site to look and behave the way you want. There are some plugins that are ideal for online marketers, and we wanted to review them for you.

One you do not want to ever leave home without is the Google XML Sitemap. For any IM related blog that is intended to rank in the search engines, this plugin is vital to success. This plugin is important because it helps Google crawl your site better and therefore it will be indexed in their database more accurately. Depending on how often you update your site, add new content, then you'll want to create a new sitemap. Doing this by hand can become involved and take some time. With the sitemap plug-in, however, your sitemap is updated automatically every time you update your website. 

The Similar Posts plugin kinda does what you're thinking it might do. When you use this plugin, after you make a post the plugin will find other similar-content posts and insert a link at the end of each post. The goal behind this is to make your site sticky and compel visitors to remain there and read. This plugin, and idea, has proven to be effective with arousing curiosity in a site's content. Never give them a reason to navigate away to somewhere else.

You can easily optimize your links for search engine optimization with the SEO Smart Links plugin. You set the plug-in up to recognize the different keywords and phrases that you want your site to be recognized for. SEO Smart Links then finds these words and phrases within your site and links them to other pages in your site that use those phrases as well. You can set it up to link to individual pages, posts, categories or even other tagged words. 

Wordpress is an incredibly versatile content management system. Every day, week, and month there are more online marketers who are getting involved with Wordpress in their businesses. Perhaps there are those who believe Wordpress is just for the casual blogger. But that's just the wrong impression.

You can use this in whatever manner you care to. Also, you can configure it to do just about anything with all the plugins.
