A visible website means web crawlers can crawl and index your web pages to rank them on search results pages for users to find.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to allow search engines to see your website:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log in to your WordPress website&#8217;s admin page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>Settings<\/strong> and then <strong>Reading<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>Search Engine Visibility.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Uncheck <strong>Discourage search engines from indexing this site.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Save Changes<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-seo-friendly-url-structures-in-wordpress\">Use SEO-friendly URL structures in WordPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO-friendly URLs are short, readable, and contain relevant keywords. A good example of an SEO-friendly URL is this blog post&#8217;s URL: https:\/\/blog.adsterra.com\/wordpress-seo\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Any visitor can read the URL and understand that it leads to a blog post about WordPress SEO. On the contrary, URLs like&nbsp; <strong>https:\/\/example.com\/?p=13607<\/strong> fails to help the user understand what they\u2019re clicking.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"389\" src=\"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WordPress-admin-panel-permalinks-settings.png\" alt=\"WordPress admin panel permalinks settings - post name\" class=\"wp-image-8633\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WordPress-admin-panel-permalinks-settings.png 550w, https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/WordPress-admin-panel-permalinks-settings-300x212.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Making your website URL SEO-friendly is easy with WordPress.

To search engines, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.example.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">www.example.com<\/a> and example.com are two different websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your website is accessible through both www and non-www, you must let search engines know which variation is the canonical website.

First, you must optimize your title and meta descriptions by keeping them short, relevant, and valuable. Learn more about how to do on-page SEO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google truncates long meta descriptions to a limit of about 930px (~155 characters).&nbsp;<br>Yoast SEO lets you create custom titles and meta descriptions on a page-by-page basis.&nbsp;<br>Scroll down to the bottom of the post or page you&#8217;re editing to see an editable preview of your page&#8217;s title and meta description.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"756\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Yoast-SEO.png\" alt=\"Yoast SEO evaluation overview\" class=\"wp-image-8638\" style=\"width:682px;height:464px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Yoast-SEO.png 756w, https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Yoast-SEO-300x204.png 300w, https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Yoast-SEO-585x398.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 756px) 100vw, 756px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"properly-using-c%d0%b0tegories-%d0%b0nd-t%d0%b0gs-in-wordpress\">Properly using c\u0430tegories \u0430nd t\u0430gs in WordPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>WordPress tags and categories help organize your website&#8217;s posts correctly. An organized website offers easy navigation, leading to a better user experience and a higher SERP ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Categories are also for grouping blog posts. For example, if you&#8217;re running a personal blog, you can have categories like travel, music, food, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tags are like keywords that represent an individual post&#8217;s content. For example, a blog post under the Books category can have tags like Fantasy, Science-fiction, History, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some tips to properly use WordPress categories &amp; tags<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Your tags and categories should correspond to relevant search queries, i.e., contain keywords that your users are searching for.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Avoid mixing up singulars and plurals on categories &amp; tags.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use simple, clear, and descriptive names for categories.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"intern%d0%b0lly-link-to-other-postsp%d0%b0ges\">Intern\u0430lly link to other posts\/p\u0430ges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Internal links point readers to other pages and posts on your website. They facilitate the flow of PageRank around your site and direct visitors to more content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When users are spending more time on your website, it tells search engines that your content is valuable. Also, you get to show users more ads that will interest them, boosting your revenue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Add internal links to your posts and web pages in WordPress using the WYSIWYG editor. WYSIWYG is an acronym for What You See Is What You Get. It&#8217;s used for any editing software that allows you to edit content in a form that resembles its final appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to add internal links in WordPress<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Highlight the link&#8217;s anchor text.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click Insert\/edit link.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter the URL of another page or post from your website.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/site-audit\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ahrefs&#8217; Site Audit tool<\/a> to know which pages need internal links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"add-xml-sitem%d0%b0ps-in-wordpress\">Add XML sitem\u0430ps in WordPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An XML Sitemap is a special file listing every web page on your website to help search engines find and crawl all your website&#8217;s content. Adding an XML sitemap does not impact your search rankings directly. Instead, it helps search engines discover new content quickly for crawling and ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AIO SEO plugin automatically generates an XML sitemap of your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To find your Sitemap, go to this URL http:\/\/example.com\/sitemap_index.xml.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Add XML sitemaps to google search console.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Search Console gives you an insight into how search engines view your web content. It provides information to help you understand how your pages are performing in their search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google Search Console also lets you when there is a problem with your website, for example, duplicate content, missing AMPS, or restricted resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how to add your sitemap to the Google search console:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Verify your domain with Google Search Console.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Sitemap <\/strong>on the left tab.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enter your sitemap URL.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Submit<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Google crawls your website and then provides some data about your website, such as the number of links, the ratio of images and web pages, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"optimize-wordpress-comments\">Optimize WordPress comments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Comments can be a measure of user engagement on your website. Engaged users bring more organic traffic, which improves your SERP rankings and conversions. It also means that your content is compelling. But you must make sure that you&#8217;re getting real comments and not spam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spammers leave low-quality comments with bad links that could ruin your users\u2019 experience and damage your SEO efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Akismet is a pre-installed WordPress plugin for detecting and blocking spam comments. You can also set your comments to be approved by admins before they&#8217;re published. However, numerous real comments on a blog post can make the page load slower than usual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can prevent this by splitting comments into multiple pages\u2014Pagination.<br>Here&#8217;s how to do that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Login to your WordPress admin dashboard.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>Settings<\/strong> and then click <strong>Discussions<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tick <strong>Break comments into pages<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select the number of comments per page and the order of appearance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click <strong>Save<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"en%d0%b0ble-bre%d0%b0dcrumbs\">En\u0430ble bre\u0430dcrumbs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Breadcrumbs leave trails for users and search engines to follow around your site. They provide a clear website structure and hierarchy while also creating a good internal linking structure. Plus, breadcrumbs appear in Google&#8217;s search results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using Yoast SEO, you can enable breadcrumbs on your WordPress site. Here\u2019s how to do that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Access the SEO menu item on Yoast&#8217;s left sidebar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then go to <strong>Search appearance<\/strong> and then <strong>Breadcrumbs<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Toggle <strong>Enable breadcrumbs<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Your WordPress theme must support breadcrumbs for this to work, or else you&#8217;ll need a WordPress expert to help you fix it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"en%d0%b0ble-content-c%d0%b0ching\">En\u0430ble content c\u0430ching<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Caching means generating static versions of your posts and pages so browsers can then load them fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most search engines use page speed as a ranking factor on both desktop and mobile. So to enable caching, we recommend using the W3 Total Cache plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to install and activate it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Log into your WP admin page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On the sidebar, click <strong>Plugins<\/strong> and then <strong>Add new<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Search for W3 Total Cache and click <strong>Install Now<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Activate the plugin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Go to <strong>Performance<\/strong> and then <strong>General settings<\/strong> on the left sidebar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;Tick enable on <strong>Page Cache<\/strong>, <strong>Minify<\/strong>, and <strong>Browser Cache<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"fix-duplic%d0%b0te-content\">Fix duplic\u0430te content<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Duplicate content is content that is available through multiple URLs on the web. Duplicate content is harmful because the search algorithm fails to recognize which URL should appear higher on the search results page. In the end, they might rank both URLs lower and give preference to other web pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can fix duplicate content using <strong>noindex<\/strong> or by <strong>canonicalization. <\/strong>Noindexing stops search engines from putting that web page on the web. You should noindex a duplicate page if it has no additional value to users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Canonicalization<\/strong> involves specifying the preferred URL. Search engines tend to index only canonical URLs when there are duplicates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use Yoast SEO to implement both options on a page-by-page basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to the cog icon in the plugin&#8217;s settings when editing a web page.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Under <strong>Allow search engines to show this Page in search results<\/strong>, select <strong>No<\/strong> from the drop-down to noindex that a page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also enter the preferred URL into the <strong>Canonical URL<\/strong> text box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nofollow-extern%d0%b0l-links-in-wordpress\">NoFollow extern\u0430l links in WordPress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you link to an external website, you transfer some of your site&#8217;s SEO score or link equity to that external website. It would help your SEO if you got more link equity from other websites than you&#8217;re giving away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Adding a <strong>nofollow <\/strong>attribute to external links instructs search engines not to follow those links, helping you save link equity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An ordinary external link looks like this in HTML: &lt;a href=&#8221;http:\/\/adsterra.com&#8221;&gt;Adsterra&lt;\/a&gt;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A nofollow link looks like this: &lt;a href=&#8221;http:\/\/adsterra.com&#8221; rel=&#8221;nofollow&#8221;&gt;Adsterra&lt;\/a&gt;<br>WordPress does not provide the option to add nofollow attributes to external links. But with the AIO SEO plugin, you can do that by enabling <strong>Add \u201cnofollow\u201dto link<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"optimize-your-site%e2%80%99s-speed-%d0%b0nd-perform%d0%b0nce\">Optimize your site\u2019s speed \u0430nd perform\u0430nce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step to site speed optimization is picking the right WordPress theme. WordPress comes with a default standard theme. Your task is to find an SEO-friendly one from hundreds of available options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what are the characteristics of an SEO-friendly WordPress theme?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Mobile-Friendly Design: <\/strong>An SEO-friendly WordPress theme is very responsive on mobile devices.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lightweight:<\/strong> You should avoid themes that come with multiple third-party plugins and scripts that will slow your website down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Every WP theme developer claims to have a responsive and mobile-friendly theme. However, you should check the theme by running its demo through <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.chrome.com\/docs\/lighthouse\/overview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Google\u2019s Mobile-friendly Test tool<\/a>. Use<a href=\"https:\/\/pagespeed.web.dev\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"> Google\u2019s PageSpeed Insights<\/a> tool to check if third-party plugins and scripts load fast.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1638\" height=\"872\" src=\"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Google-PageSpeed-Insights-2.png\" alt=\"Google PageSpeed Insights for example.com overview\" class=\"wp-image-8561\" style=\"width:765px;height:407px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Google-PageSpeed-Insights-2.png 1638w, https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Google-PageSpeed-Insights-2-300x160.png 300w, https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Google-PageSpeed-Insights-2-780x415.png 780w, https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Google-PageSpeed-Insights-2-768x409.png 768w, https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Google-PageSpeed-Insights-2-1536x818.png 1536w, https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Google-PageSpeed-Insights-2-1170x623.png 1170w, https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Google-PageSpeed-Insights-2-585x311.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1638px) 100vw, 1638px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"optimizing-images-in-wordpress-for-seo\">Optimizing images in WordPress for SEO<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.blog.google\/products\/admanager\/increase-speed-of-your-mobile-site-wi\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">facts<\/a> about webpage speed according to Google:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The average web page is 3MB.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>53% of mobile users leave a web page that doesn&#8217;t load in 3 seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The average mobile download speed is 20 Mbps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>With these stats in mind, it becomes obvious why optimizing your webpage is essential. Most blog posts tend to be much larger because they contain lots of images. So it would be best if you started image optimization before anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start by installing and activating the Smush Image Compression and Optimization plugin. It will help you compress and optimize every image that you&#8217;ll upload in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To compress existing images, go to the Smush menu item and click <strong>Bulk smush<\/strong> <strong>now<\/strong> on the left sidebar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Using descriptive title and alt tags<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another image optimization trick is to use a descriptive title and alt tags. Alt tags or Alt texts tell search engines what the image is about. They also help users with visual impairment understand what the image depicts. WordPress lets you add title and alt texts when you upload an image.<br><br>Suppose your website contains a lot of images\u2014Like a photographer\u2019s website, or a free stock image library. In that case, we recommend using a gallery plugin like the Envira Gallery. Envira is one of the fastest WordPress gallery plugins available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"security-%d0%b0nd-s%d0%b0fety-of-your-wordpress-site\">Security \u0430nd s\u0430fety of your WordPress site<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is website security important? If hackers gain access to your website, you may end up paying a ransom to regain access. You could also lose revenue, reputation, and your place in search rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s how to improve your WordPress site security:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Create a WordPress Site Backup<\/strong><br>Backups allow you to restore your website in case of attacks. You must regularly save full-site backups on remote cloud services like Amazon or Dropbox.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Install a WordPress security plugin<\/strong> to help monitor your files, login attempts, and scan for malware. We recommend installing Sucuri Scanner for the purposes mentioned above.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Enable Web Application Firewall (WAF)<\/strong><br>Use a web application firewall (WAF) to block all malicious traffic before it wreaks havoc on your website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Move Your WordPress Site to SSL\/HTTPS<\/strong><br>SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a security protocol that encrypts the data transfer between your website and a user&#8217;s browser. SSLs make it near impossible for someone else to intercept the information.<br>A website with SSL-enabled uses HTTPS instead of HTTP. You can get an SSL certificate from certificate authorities for as low as <strong>$80 per year<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"conclusion\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ve provided essential tips to help budding online entrepreneurs get more organic traffic right from the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use light themes with even lighter mobile versions. Avoid installing unnecessary plugins, and be sure to optimize your content for search engines regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many well-known bloggers use WordPress-backed websites.
