Best SEO for WordPress Blogs
For the past two years, I have been doing internet marketing and affiliate marketing in many different niches. I have made many websites for the Make Money niche, Acne, Anxiety, Golf, Muscle Building and Amazon niches. Every single time has been on a WordPress website of my own and every time, I have ranked high on the search engines and made many sales.
In this post, you are going to have a glimpse in what SEO I do for all of my WordPress websites. I will be giving you a list of the best SEO wordpress plugins, SEO WordPress themes and how I input my keywords into my posts. So get ready for learning some of the best seo for WordPress, and start ranking high on the search engines.
Best SEO for WordPress – Keywords
The best SEO for WordPress starts with proper keyword research. Many people think that they can use any keywords and you will get traffic. This is totally wrong. You need to use a keyword research tool and find out what people are searching for and build your website around that keyword.
Let’s take one of my Golf websites which has had some of my best SEO for WordPress tactics.
I knew the Golf niche was a very popular niche and had hungry buyers as well. So I went to the Google Adwords Keyword Tool to find the keyword I wanted to use. I started off simple in looking for my keyword, I used ‘Golf’ to start off with. After seeing what the Google Keyword Tool gave me, I found out that the ‘Golf Slice’ was a huge problem in the Golf niche.
So I then put in ‘Golf Slice’, and the Keyword Tool gave me a list of words like: ‘Fix golf slice’, ‘cure golf slice’, ‘Golf Slice Exercises’.
Now I looked at these keywords and thought to myself, “If someone is looking for a ‘Cure’, they must be pretty serious about fixing this problem.”
So after putting in ‘Cure golf slice’ and related terms that had the word ‘Cure’, I came up with the keyword ‘Curing The Golf Slice’. This was my keyword I was going to base my website around. I also took some very similar keywords with little competition and high searches per month, because I will be making posts with them and driving more traffic to my WordPress site.
Best SEO for WordPress – Domain Name
Now that I had my keyword, which had very little competition and a high amount of searches per month, now I needed a domain name with this keyword inside it. This is very crucial when you are looking for the best SEO for WordPress. I now had purchased a domain name with my exact keyword. If you cannot find a .Com, domain, you can use .Org, .Net, or a .Ca
If for some reason you cannot find a domain with your exact keyword, use a variant like this if your keyword is ‘Body Building’–> BodyBuildingTips.com <– Remember to always have your keyword first and the variant after. Do not add hyphens or numbers in-between your keyword, before, or after.
Best SEO for WordPress – Themes
Now that you have your keyword and your domain, your next step is to build your website all around your one keyword and it’s variants. So now you want to install WordPress on your new domain name and choose a theme. Below you will find a few themes I use for the best seo for WordPress.
1: Theme MX – Best theme with the highest and best SEO for WordPress. I ranked 3 pages of my website all on the first page of Google with this theme.
2: Thesis Theme – A bit confusing theme to setup, but once it is, can be very powerful seo for wordpress.
3: Genesis Theme – A simple theme with many looks to choose from. The SEO is great but the other two are better.
Best SEO for WordPress – Images
When adding images to your website, always remember to change the name of it for the best SEO for WordPress. Many people have images named like this, Pics123.jpg Which should be changed to –> YourKeyword.jpg
Make sure you do this to all of your images before uploading them to your websites.
You also want to add an ALT Text to your image, which should be your keyword once again. You can also add a description which you can add a sentence that includes your keyword. “Body Building Tips and Tricks for anyone looking to gain more muscle fast.”
If you hover your mouse over my image at the top of this post, you’ll see my keyword come up.
Make sure you do all of this to your images for the best SEO for WordPress.
Best SEO for WordPress – Content
When writing content, you want to write about 500 words of good content that also includes about 5% of your keywords and variants. In your content, your keywords should be Bolded, Italicized, and Underlined. If you look carefully at this post, you will see my keyword is ‘Best SEO for WordPress’. You will also notice throughout the post, it is bolded, Italicized, and underlined. I also have it in my H1, H2, and H3 tag, and sometimes I’ll include it in an H4 tag.
I make sure I have my keywords in the beginning and the very end, in my title, and also throughout the post. Make sure you are not keyword stuffing, because that is bad.
I make this step 1000x easier by using a plugin, which I’ll get into very soon.
Best SEO for WordPress – Permalinks
Permalinks are the urls of your posts and pages. When WordPress is brand new, it is default to have numbers as your URL. Which does no good for seo. So if you go into your back office of your WordPress, under Settings and Permalinks, select Custom Structure, and input–> /%postname%
This will take the title of your post and make it the URL. This is the best SEO for WordPress. You can also include the category, but it’s up to you.
Best SEO for WordPress – Plugins
I saved the best for last. Everyone LOVES plugins and here it is. This is by far the heart of it all, the best SEO for WordPress.
This is a list of the 7 best SEO WordPress Plugins that I use for all of my websites:
1: Akismet – Blocks spam comments from flooding your back office. Google Conquest shows you how to really use this.
2: All In One SEO Pack – Easiest way to create title tags and meta tags.
3: Google XML Sitemaps – Creates a sitemap for your site that helps Google
4: MaxBlogPress Ping Optimizer – Notifies search engines when you’ve created a post.
5: SEO Power – Creates tags of keywords that people use to find your site.
6: SEO Pressor - Helps you create 100% SEO Content for each post. Will Bold, Italics, underline, and let you know if you’re missing some on-page SEO.
7: SEO Search Terms Tagging 2 – Similar to SEO Power, but slightly different. Both are great.
These 7 plugins are the ones that I install on each of my websites every single time. I never leave these out, whatsoever.

My SendOutCards Review
An Honest SendOutCards Review
I know there are lots of people searching for a good unbiased SendOutCards review. I’m going to do my best and share my experience with you. Unbiased? I’ll try. But remember, I am part of SendOutCards, and for good reason too.
So back in July of this year, 2011, a good friend Jon called me up one day, after catching up, he asked me the famous line, “Do you keep your options open?”. Of course being a friend and also being very open minded, I said yes. He asked me if I knew anything about this company called SendOutCards, I said not really except for the name. I seen it around and knew it was legit.
He gone to explain a bit about how the product was far cheaper than what you can get in the stores, and the possibilities are endless. (I’ll explain in a bit) He shared with me about how simple it is to introduce to someone rather than cheap long distance plans. After a bit of chatting about SendOutCards, he shared a video with me and asked me if I would take a look at it and schedule a phone call the next day. One big thing he mentioned about the phone call the next day was I would be introduced to a big time marketer by the name of Todd Falcone. When Jon said this I knew he meant business. Todd Falcone is a marketer who has been in the Network marketing industry for over 20+ years and making over $20,000/month, so if I was going to take someone’s advice it would be his for sure.
Now I bet I lost many people just as they read the $20,000/month part. No worries because you’re still here reading this. That’s a lot of money. Most people make that in a year, let alone a month. What if I said it’s only $220,000/year? Now it seems a little more reasonable. Don’t think just because you’re not making that kind of money that it’s not possible, because if someone else is making that kind of money, then it’s possible.
Did you know some hockey players make more than $100,000+/month? Crazy. Sure makes Todd Falcone’s riches look like chump change. But that is just to put it into perspective for you. Let’s get back on topic.
Back to my SendOutCards Review…
So the next day after watching the video with Todd Falcone (Let me know if you’d like to see the video) We got on the phone with Jon and Todd Falcone. The guy is straight up. He’ll tell it like it is. After asking questions about how one makes money in SendOutCards, I was a little more convinced about how great this was sounding.
One favourite thing that really attracted me was becoming a “Manager”, which entails about 12 people in your organization. When you reach this spot, every time someone joins your team, you get $100! Awesome! Think about it, let’s say of the 12 people, you sponsor someone in a far different timezone, I mean when you’re sleeping they are awake. So while you are sleeping and they sponsor someone, you get $100! While you’re sleeping! I’ll tell you this, I do some online marketing with websites and I love waking up in the morning and an email letting me know, “You’ve Got a Commission!” Who needs a coffee in the morning when you have that to get you going.
So after chatting with Jon & Todd Falcone, this was awesome. A few days later I signed up, because in reality, I would have been stupid not too. I personally believe everyone should be in a network marketing company. I could go on forever about the benefits, but that’s not why I’m here today.
My SendOutCards Review of a Few Months
So today I have been in SendOutCards for a little over 4 months now and I’m glad to say that I’m a millionaire!
Just kidding, I’m not a millionaire. Some people think these are “Get Rich Quick Schemes”, which I think only an un-educated person would say.
So in those 4 months I had a few goals. I remember I wrote them down, one was to leave my job at Apple and get a different job. The other goal was to become a Manager in SendOutCards. The great news. I did achieve one of those goals. I got a new job selling cars for Volkswagen, but unfortunately I did not yet become a Manager in SendOutCards.
You can’t blame me, I’ll tell you the truth. It’s not because the company is scum and lied to me. It’s not because they hyped me up for nothing. It’s because of ME. Did you hear that? I failed. Not SendOutCards. Me.
Switching to my new job has been a little crazy, because there is quite a bit to learn. In the car sales industry, if you don’t sell cars, you don’t get paid. So very similar to MLM or Network Marketing, if you don’t work, you don’t get paid.
However, I must say, SendOutCards has been great. In the car sales industry I have been able to utilize SendOutCards in a great manner. When a customer comes in, and we get talking about the car or maybe the hockey game, I’ll make sure I send them a card to thank them for coming in. Think about it, you left a store and the salesman sends you a card thanking you. It makes them feel like they were someone and not just a number.
I was talking with this one young guy, and he told me he was helping his sister shop for a new vehicle because she was in a car accident. Luckily she was not too hurt, and only had a stiff neck. After helping him, he said he would have to bring back his dad because the car was over his budget. So that day I sent him a card thanking him for coming in, while also wishing his sister a quick recovery. Not only that but I sent a small box of brownies along with the card for his sister. I gave him a call the week after to see if he revived it, and he told me his sister loved the brownies and the card and thought it was very thoughtful. He did not buy a car from me, but that’s not the point. The point is that I still made him feel great as well as his sister, and for that he told me he would recommend people to me.
So as you can see, that is only one card and gift that I had sent using the SendOutCards system.
What if someone buys a car from me? The same thing. One gentleman came in, we got talking and he found a car he liked. He wanted to think about it and come back the week after. I, of course, sent him a card thanking him for coming in. the week after he bought a car from me. Later that day after he purchased, I had sent him another card thanking him for his business, plus, I also added a $25 Gift card for Tim Horton’s.
The week after that, I called him up to see how his car was doing and he was super excited. He thanked me for the generous card and gift and let me know that if he knows of anyone in market for a car he would recommend them to me. I was happy that he was happy.
Last story…
I went shopping for some new shirts and ties at my favourite store Mexx. A gentleman at the store helped me out. Very friendly and an overall kind person. I really appreciated his hep. I believe I was in the store for a few hours. We chatted about what I needed the clothes for and I told him I sold cars for volkswagen in the Richmond Auto Mall. He let me know that he was soon to be in the market for a new car as well as his dad. So when I left I thanked him for his help and gave him my card. Not only that, later that day I sent him a card along with a gift card to Starbucks thanking him for his help and it was much appreciated.
So as you can see, whether I’m selling cars or shopping for new clothes, I look for opportunities to thank people and let them know that I appreciated their help.
My SendOutCards Review Summary
Do you know how powerful this system is? Especially if you are a realtor, salesman, or anyone looking to better their lives. SendOutCards is an absolute great system. Whether you are a customer or a distributor, the SendOutCards system can do great things for your business or your life in general.
Being a customer gives you full access to the same system that I use, and you save money on great cards than from buying from the store. Last time I bought a card from the store, it cost me $6.97! Can you believe that? Wow! Being a customer is only about $10/month and gives you access to the greatest system so you can make the best customized cards for the lowest price.
Being a distributor gives you the ability to make a bit of money in the long run. Like I said before, I think every person needs to be in a Network Marketing company of some sorts. The benefits are great, plus the products are usually awesome too.
I love this system, and when I start selling more many cars because of it, I’ll let you know. Soon I’m going to get my but in gear and get to Manager, because that’s the first holy grail spot you want to achieve. Making money while I sleep is what I live for, and YOU should too.
Don’t forget to get a hold of me if you want to see the video with Todd Falcone and I’ll show you.
If you want to sign up as a customer, let me know. I would love to help you get started, and for $10/month why not, especially with the holidays coming up.
Here’s the video, I recommend you check out. It’s only 3 minutes long so you owe it to yourself to watch it.
