A quick SEO checklist for your blog

February 5th, 2009 by admin

These SEO steps are so basic that you have already done these steps. However since they are so basic, you have no business not doing any of them.

  1. http://yourblog.com redirects to http://www.yourblog.com or vice-versa.
  2. Your permalink structure is /%postname%/ or /%category%/%postname%/.
  3. Your blog has a sitemap.
  4. You have a google webmaster account and your sitemap has been submitted to it. Ideally you should submit to yahoo and msn as well.
  5. Your post titles should not be blog name >> post title. It should be Post title at best. If you think your blog name is too cool then max you can do is use post title >> blog name
  6. If you show an excerpt on your home page then you do not use a “read the complete post” as the link to the complete post.  You use “read more about keyword keyword” like this post should be linked from homepage as “read more about wordpress seo”
  7. You link to your own posts with proper keywords
  8. The link to your about-us, contact-us page is nofollowed.
  9. Each post has atleast one image
  10. each image has proper alt and title tag
