SEO Tycoon

**luminis** · 09-15-2006, 08:32 PM

An easier way would be to use a Wordpress plug-ins, search seo-title-tag-plugin in Google, it's the first link.

Quote:

Instructions :
1. Upload seo-title-tag.php to your wp-content/plugins directory.
2. Activate the plugin.
3. Under Presentation -> Theme Editor in the WordPress admin, select “Header” from the list and replace:

<title><?php bloginfo('name'); wp_title(); ?></title>

(or whatever you have in your <title> container with:

<title><?php if (function_exists('seo_title_tag')) { seo_title_tag(); } else { bloginfo('name'); wp_title();} ?></title>
4. Under Options -> SEO Title Tag, specify a title tag for your home page which will override your blog name as the home page’s title tag. You can also configure here whether you want all the rest of your site’s title tags to have your blog name, or a shortened version of your blog name, or neither, appended to the end.
5. Define category descriptions in the admin under Manage -> Categories. When defined, these will be used in place of category names in the title tag on category pages (e.g. yourdomain.com/archives/category/uncategorized/)
6. As desired, you can add a custom field called title_tag (or whatever you alternatively specified as the custom field name under Options -> SEO Title Tag) to any post or Page which will be used as a replacement title tag, specifically and only for that page. Don’t like the title tag for a particular post? No problem: just define a custom field when writing or editing a post or page in the WordPress admin. Custom Fields is above the “Delete this page” button. You may need to hit the plus sign to the right of Custom Fields to expand that section. The Key is title_tag (unless you’ve changed it in the Options) and the Value is whatever you want that post’s/page’s title tag to be.

I,ve checked, and they are many, many ways to add your Title and H1 tags.

But now I am confused...

I think I will add the Dynamic one (new title and h1 tag for each posts) I am using that for my blogger blogs.

Who can guide me through these steps (adding the dynamic tags to wordpress)?

P.S: Lerchmo, I will have a look at your video now.

**bloggingcash** · 09-16-2006, 04:19 PM

Thanks for all the tips.

Lerchmo, your video is excellent. I added all the plugins, and made my Wordpress 2.0 blog SEO friendly!

Just a Question: I have older Wordpress blogs: 1,5 I think that all these SEO plugins are only for WP 2.0+.

Do you know how I can add title and meta tag to the WP 1,4?

Take a look at x-fish meta

I use that on another site, The only problem is you have to be a little more disciplined to add the keywords and description tag.

I like having it auto generate my description from my excerpt or post if there is no excerpt.

And now that I have 15 posts, here is the url

Thanks a lot, Lerchmo.

Hey blogging cash, I do brazilian jiu jitsu and muay thai

**drgrudge** · 09-20-2006, 12:32 PM

I edited my Header files of my WP and
removed this:
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress <?php bloginfo('version'); ?>" />

and added
<META NAME="Description" CONTENT="YOUR SITE NAME <?php single_cat_title(); ?>: <?php echo category_description(); ?><?php echo htmlentities($excerpt); ?>">

Am I doing things right?

And I want to know what's Optional Excerpt and Quadzilla says "Now the task of making sure every post has a description must begin." What exactly does he mean?

Thanks for the help and support.
