Yoast’s Definitive Guide to WordPress SEO
Joost De Valk, a leader in WordPress plugin development, has recently re-launched his blog under a new brand name “Yoast” which is how his name is phonetically pronounced. With the launch of Yoast.com comes an amazing WordPress SEO guide.
Visit: The Definitive Guide to High Rankings for Your Blog
While I must admit I have not read completely through the article due to it’s comprehensive nature. Virtually everything you could possibly imagine related to optimizing your WordPress based website is included.
The guide is broken down into 7 main optimization points:
- Basic Technical Optimization
- Template Optimization
- Advanced Technical Optimization
- Altering Your Blog’s Structure for High Rankings
- Conversion Optimization
- Comment Optimization
- Off Site Blog SEO
This is a must read for anyone serious about the success of their blog!
If you like Joost’s WordPress SEO guide then you will love his professional and extremely useful WordPress Plugins. I especially recommend the RSS Footer plugin for anyone who’s blog content is being syndicated elsewhere.

I recently just started to learn about WordPress blogging and a lot of my online friends have mentioned Joost’s name with much reverence. And he’s right to call his article the “definitive guide” to high blog ranking because it is. When you called the article “comprehensive,” the first thing that came to my mind was that it’s bound to be long so I was pleasantly surprised to find out that it’s not as long as I initially thought it would be. Some people would pay to have something like this in a book and yet, Joost is giving this one for free so mad props for him.

Wordpress is a great blogging platform and getting it search engine optimized really isn’t a hard task. Using proper permalinks and robots.txt file to prevent duplicate content and a few other methods can really make a difference. The All in One SEO plugin is really the best bet.

Great post. And great resource. You are right someone would be willing to pay for this in a book… Here’s another great, free (should be in a book) SEO resource that I came across — also very helpful.

But I think for any CMS best is Joomla but for blogs you can also try with silverstripe this is open source and nice one
