How to set up wordpress

Posts Tagged ‘Domain Name’

Glad to see you again! Be sure and check out the Blog page. Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions. Have a great day! Lina

If you want to start a free blog then http://Blogger.com will be the best option because blogger blog are owned by Google. So it get indexed first.
If you want to start a self hosted blog then go for Wordpress.org. For this you nedd your own domain name hosting package. Get complete details in my blog:

From an seo standpoint. and no need for your own server or domain name.

Ok I have baught a domain name but when ever I type it in it sends me to Index of page and then it lists my files. So it shows:
Index Of:
1. Wordpress/
2. Index.html
Why does it not just load my index page?

Well I recently purchased a domain, with no hosting, and I was wondering how I could make my wordpress blog that domain I bought. I bought it from godaddy.com if you were wondering.

Why do you want to use both? The wordpress source already has a CMS built into it.
To use Wordpress, follow the directions here:http://codex.wordpress.org/Installing_Wo…
Simply purchase a domain name, find a host that offers a MySQL database, and then follow the directions for the 5 minute install.

I have a website, i have made just in dreamweaver and photoshop, and the client who has already gone ahead and bought a domain name with wordpress and wants the site i have made on there. But how can i just upload my html and css, and not use a theme?

like “Facebook101.com” for instance. Can you make a website about facebook, using “Facebook” in the domain name and not break any laws or risk any lawsuits.
I just don’t wanna wake up one morning and find out that I got sued for millions of dollars.

According to Wordpress.com’s statistics, there are 9,000,000 (nine million) active installations of the WordPress.org software (the self-hosted kind that you referred to). I got this statistic from here:http://en.wordpress.com/stats/
There are lots of other interesting Wordpress-related statistics on that page, if you’re curious.
I hope that helps!

I have a domain name & would like to set up a wordpress blog, using my domain name.
Can I do that without going through a host?
And how do I get the big pictures etc on my blog, i have a test blog & they only come up small.
Is there any easy to understand tutorials on wordpress blogs that anyone can reccommend?
Thanks in advance

Search engines find keywords in different elements of a page and use them to determine whether or not the page should be ranked in certain results. Proper use of keywords will get your page indexed for specific searches but does not guarantee placement or rank within that search. The popularity/authority of your site is what helps with ranking.

Each page should target a tight collection of keywords. In my opinion, you should not have a page that targets more than 3 to 5 and those should be related to one another. So “mailing list” and “direct marketing list” are related to one another subject-wise and could be used in coordination with one another on the page.

Your page should focus on great content that drives conversions, not concentrate on stuffing keywords throughout that content. Natural use of the keywords is most important – so that search engines see the keywords but visitors don’t necessarily see them. Content drives conversions (sales)… so write well!

How to Use Keywords Effectively on your site for SEO

1. Domain – if your domain name has keywords, it’s great. If not, that’s alright as well. Be sure you’ve registered the domain for 10 years so Google recognizes that it’s not a spam site and is viable.
2. Home Page Title Tag – be sure your home page title tag has a few of the terms that you’re after and places them before your company name.
3. Title Tag – each independent page should have the keywords that the content of that page focuses on.
4. Heading Tags – in HTML, there are headings and subheadings. These are specifically <h1>, <h2>, <h3>… tags in that order of importance. Search engines pay attention to these tags and it’s important that you pay attention to them as well as you create pages and utilize keywords. For blog posts, utilize keywords in your blog post titles. Avoid using <h1>, <h2>, or <h3> tags in your sidebar.
5. Bold – bold your keywords on the page so that they stand out.
6. Image Alt and Description – when you utilize an image (recommended) within your site pages or posts, be sure to utilize keywords effectively in the image alt or description tags. Your content management system should allow for this.
7. Internal Links – if you make mention of other posts or pages within your site, be sure to utilize keyword effectively in the anchor text of the link to that content and in the title tag of the anchor tag.

   <a href=”domain.com/myotherpage.html” title=”The KEYWORD”>More keywords</a>

   Avoid using generic terms like “read more” or “click here”.

8. First Words of Content – the first words on your page or post should include keywords relevant to the content within that page.
9. Top of Page – Search engines view a page and analyze the content from top to bottom, the top of the page is the most important content and the bottom of the page is least important. If you have a columnar layout, check with your company that designed your theme and ensure that columns are lower in your HTML than the body of your content (many themes put the sidebar first!).
10. Repeated Usage – within your content (also known as keyword density), it’s important to utilize keywords naturally within your content. I would make an effort to use keywords 4 to 5 times in a given post of 250+ words.

Your feedback is welcome on this post and I realize that search engine algorithms have changed over time. However, utilizing these rules won’t hurt your site and page optimization, they’ll only help it! Don’t stuff, though! You’ll lose visitors, lose conversions and may very well lose your search engine ranking.

If you can get external links with keywords back to your site, even better! This post was simply about on-site keyword usage, though.
