If you have a Wordpress website and haven’t made any drastic changes to its default templates, you should know that it’s far from SEOptimized. One of the things that I personally struggled with when getting started with Wordpress was how to customized my tags for each and every post. Turned out it was not that hard to do that. I was just looking in the wrong places. In order to optimize your keyword tags for your posts, you can add the following piece of code to your templates header. So you log in to your Wordpress system:

Then go to your presentation tab and find the header file. Once you are there, add the following code to your template (you can do it after your title tag):

<meta name=”keywords” content=”<?php if ( is_single() ) {
single_post_title(”, true);
} else {
bloginfo(’name’); echo ” - “; bloginfo(’description’);
}
?>” />

Now remember that you can replace the emboldened line with anything you want in case you forget to put a title for your blog post. But you can pretty much do this for all your tags. This is by no means the only thing you will have to do to fully SEO your blog but it’s a good start.
