Blogging is the new black for the Internet. Blogging with
WordPress is quickly becoming the standard by which most bloggers get their
start and earn their bread and butter. If you want to learn how to make
WordPress work for you in your personal blogging or Internet marketing efforts,
continue reading.
With WordPress you
have lots of choices in themes
So you can have a really good looking blog. Take plenty of
time to peruse all of your choices so that you can select just the right one to
suit your style and your topic. For a truly unique theme, select a premium
theme. This will really help your blog stand out from the crowd.
If you want to easily
be able to search
Through the media you upload, such as videos or photos, put
it all into a single folder through Wordpress. To do this, go into Settings
& Media and then uncheck the box which sets WP to sort your media into
folders based on the date.
Most templates come
with a landing page built in
So make use of it. This stripped down page allows you to
focus their intention on exactly what you want them to look at, be it a sign-up
form or a "Buy Now" link. This ensures they take the actions you want
them to.
All your plugins and everything else you work with needs to
be current. This will help ensure that your visitors have a seamless experience
on your site. If you have trouble remembering to do this, consider setting your
phone to alert you once a month to perform this task.
Constantly work on
improving your permalinks
As WordPress becomes more popular, your traffic may decline.
Change the URLs of your WordPress articles and incorporate higher quality
keywords. You can minimize the amount of keywords as long as their value
increases. This can be a nice boost to the traffic you see.
Never forget to
properly setup your WordPress page's timezone
Under the General Settings page, take a moment and make sure
that your timezone properly represents where you reside. This can be very
important as the times and dates are published along with your posts. Not
having the proper date stamp can leave you in a time warp.
To keep tabs on
comments
You don't need to visit each post separately. Instead, use
your dashboard's comments section to see what has been posted recently. You
should check this page daily so that you know what people are saying and can
reply if anyone requests more information or asks a question.
Back up your content on your WordPress blog. Sure WordPress
is a very well-known and stable platform, but things still do go wrong from
time to time. You don't want to be caught without a content backup if
somethings gone the wrong way. You can simply copy and paste your articles into
Evernote or another notes platform.
