How I Drive Traffic To My Site. Part 2 Who Knows SEO?

Most peple know that SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. Simply put, it refers to ways one can make a web site easy for the search engines to recognize.  As I mentioned in Part one, Wordpress blogs are designed to be search engine friendly.

One of the ways to make a blog even more attractive to search rngines is to install a simple plugin called All-In-One-SEO Pack. You can find this plugin by clicking on “Plugins” which is located on the right of your dashboard next to “Settings”. This will take you the Plugin Management” page where you will see active and inactive plugins. Scroll down that page to a section called “Get More Plugins”. Click on the link “Wordpress Plugin Directory”. On the next page there is a column on the right headed “Most Popular”. You will find the All-In-One-Seo Pack listed there. Click on “All-In-One-SEP Pack” and follow the directions for downloading the plugin to your computer.

The next step is to extract the files in the zipped file then using your FTP Transfer program upload the All-In-One-Seo folder to your plugin directory in your Wordpress blog. When this complete, go back to the Plugin Management page and you should see the All-In-One-SEO Pack listed under “Inactive Plugins”. You can now activate the plugin for use on your blog.

Now, when you open your settings page you will see the All-In-One-SEO Pack listed. Click on it and fill in the information required such as the title of your blog, your tagline, ie description of your site, and some keywords or key phrases that relate to your blog. The rest of the page should stay the way it is already arranged.

Congratulations! You have just optimized your site for the search engines.Part 3 coming soon.

    Hi Jose,

    It’s taking me for ever to get round everyone just to say hi, so I don’t want you to think I am being rude, but I’m turbo hopping to get round as many of the F500 that I can. If I wait for you to come to me, it might never happen. Thanks to all who have already visited Planet Valz.

    This means I have a standard message for everyone, and I’m leaving it as a comment to the latest post. I hope this does not offend you as communication and generosity is what is driving this.

    Firstly, my wishes to you for a Happy, Healthy and very Prosperous Year 2009.

    Hey Jose!

    I love your article. It is very informative, and helpful. And you are totally right, All-In-One-SEO Pack is a great plug-in to add to your blog. It was one of the first plug-ins that I added to my site and I have been very happy with the results.

    See you in the webinars!

    Hey Jose, thanks for asking me over to your blog and you are invited to come back and visit me anytime !

    I have had an interesting question on my blog from a guy asking how to use categories and tags to improve his SEO.

    I gave a full detailed reply to the best of my knowledge but i don’t feel i have the best understanding of WordPress, as it is still quite new to me.

    I think i am getting to grips with tags and categories to help my SEO and page rank, indeed i understand that http://Alanneath.com has a Google rank of 2 right now, if you can check that and confirm, then i will know i am providing accurate information when replying to questions on my blog ! :-)

    If you can add some comments about tags, categories and SEO to the post on my blog, than come over and share it with my visitors !

    cheers

    Read on…

    The last few weeks I have been working on something very special and I am involving all the members of ALEX’S mentor program - more
    about this later

    My partner and I designed social media software to help every business on the internet such as marketers, retailers,
    service and membership sites.

    My story below!

    Vince here,

    We are designing a new viral way to market on the internet. My partner jay is one of the top code writes in the world and he has helped me design something very special for every entrepreneur on the internet. This is not just for marketers.

    This new software will work with any kind of retail site, membership site, Service site - virtually any kind of site on the internet. Read below what it can do for you and your business…

    Free Version,

    My partner Jay and I (Vince) have been very busy designing a new software.

    This is going to be a very powerful way to communicate on the internet with all your friends.

    Example when you click on this icon your destination and url will be sent to the social media site.

    So if you are on a product page, squeeze page or website or blog and click on the icon - you will be seen by everyone you know and the url of the site you are on.

    PRO VERSION

    This is were it gets really sweet,

    This is going to change the way people market and sell products on line.

    The Pro version will have all the features of the free version and more.

    You will be able to see all your friends, communicate with them and broadcast to them.

    You will also have complete stats of all your progress, sales, optins, leads, and percentages.

    You will be able to have complete control of your visitor and send them were ever you want on the internet and their friends will see were their destination is. We are adding more features everyday -

    Because we are one big marketing family - I have talked jay into giving Alex’s students a very special offer when this comes out. still a few weeks away.

    Alex jeffrey’s and Andrew Fox will have the first exclusive marketing rights to this new software. Then it will go live on click bank.

    More on my blog in coming days.

    I will keep you in touch,

  7. Amy Skyler Says:

    I’ve heard that Alex Jeffreys is launching a new Coaching Program this week but it will be very expensive?

    Why would you recommend Alex as a coach rather than other people like Michael Cheney, or Rich Schefren?

    Been following Alex for a while now and enjoyed ‘The Gurus Dream’.

    Have you made any money since you did Alex’s Coaching.

    Will I get my money back if I sign up.

    Amy?

  8. Lewis Preston Says:

    Great post. What is the main benefit you got from coaching with Alex Jeffreys?

    I know he put in the hours, but is he worth the money??

    Hi Jose

    Very interesting blogs. I am visiting lots of sites and love what I am reading on most of them I am new to IM and have gatherin as much information as I can.

    As you see my name is Sue McDonald and I live in Australia. I am at present doing the Newbie course with Mark Terrell who originally did the course with Alex a few years ago.

    It’s interesting learning and like everyone that starts these types of courses we all want to make money and have more time to ourselves. I hope you are making a great living and if you have time over the next few weeks and you could take a look at my blog and leave a comment, I would certainly appreciate it.

    Kindest regards

    Sue
