Over the past few months I have gotten a few emails asking me what I do to SEO my Wordpress sites. Well it really is pretty simple. I have basically used three different Wordpress plugins to SEO my sites. Two of these plugins work together to ensure that my meta tags are written correctly. The other plugin is used to make sure my site is being picked up by Google.

Plugin #1 - Ultimate Tag Warrior

This is probably the best plugin I have seen to date for tagging your articles and content. In order to effectively SEO your Wordpress site you will need some sort of tagging plugin. Ultimate Tag Warrior allows displays the tags you associate with your post. The plugin can display a long-tail histogram of your top 150 tags. I like UTW because you have the option of displaying a tag cloud on your page (you can sort by the most popular first or by alphabetical). To find out more about this plugin please click here! You may also wish to get the Tag Cloud widget for UTW if you want a tool that is easy to use for displaying your tag clouds!

Plugin #2 – wpSEO

The wpSEO plugin is perfect for getting your sites meta tags ready for the search engines. The wpSEO plugin rewrites your blog title, META-description, META-keywords and META-robots so these are more user and search engine friendly. You have the ability to select how your description is pulled from your homepage, your static pages and your articles. wpSEOP is great because it allows you to use your UTW tags for your meta keywords. By combining wpSEO with the pow of Ultimate Tag Warrior your page should be ready to grow the ranks of the major search engines. To find out more about this plugin please click here!

Plugin #3 - Google Sitemaps

The Google Sitemaps plugin basically updates and rebuilds the XML file everytime you make a new post and then ping’s google to tell them about it. The more you publish the more you will actually be cached by google. To find out more about this plugin please click here!

Don’t stress yourself out by uploading 10 different plugins for SEO. These three should do the trick.

I got an email from Mike Filsaime telling me that he was going to be on a future episode of the Next Internet Millionaire. So based on his recommendation I decided to go to the site and watch an episode to really see what all of the hype was about. I watched episode 2 which featured special guest Armand Morin. Armand is an actual internet millionaire who is known to a lot of people in the internet marketing world.

So what about the episode? The episode started with the Hacker Safe challenge. The competitors had to blog about a topic they randomly selected. Charles won the challenge even thought he “wasn’t really familiar with blogs”. Then Armand gave a quick talk to the competitors on the subject of branding. After the competitors gained some useful insight from Armand they went through a challenge to create a logo for the Next Internet Millionaire. Kiss ended up losing the challenge and Steve and Laura were picked as two members who would leave their team and become targeted for elimination and sandboxed.

You can view Episode 2:

So what do I think about the show? Well it’s a cool show that helps drive awareness to the field of internet marketing. People begin to understand that being an internet marketer isn’t that easy and that there is a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes when building and launching a product. I am actually looking forward to watch the Filsaime episode.

As we all know the internet marketing field is very competitive. The big boys in the internet marketing community are very friendly and tend to work together to further each other’s careers. This show definitely shows that. The show is used to showcase the giants in the internet marketing field (Filsaime, Morin etc.). If you go to the website you will see that Armand Morin’s next seminar is being promoted. The visitors of the website are also being pushed to purchase a home based business product for $37.00 so you can become a member insider.

I really enjoyed the show and will keep watching the episodes to come.
