WordPress SEO - 6 basic tips for better SEO

First of all, I want to thank Mihai for giving me the honor to be the first person who writes a guest post on AREA 1.

So … as you probably guessed from the title, I will talk to you about Search Engine Optimization for Wordpress.
What most people don’t realize is that, WordPress is Google friendly, the problem is that some WordPress Themes actually interface with search engines … not WordPress itself.
Here is the list of 6 tips that will help you rank better in Google. This tips won’t guarantee you first page rankings. Some parts of this article are inspired from WordPress SEO - The Ultimate Guide to WordPress Theme Search Engine Optimization.

Guest Posts on AREA 1

For those of you which followed AREA 1 since the begining, you may have noticed that I, Mihai, was the only author of all the posts on AREA 1. Today I can announce you that this is gonna change.

Cristian Vasile, a webdesigner & a tech geek that loves SEO & Helvetica and which I’m following since my beginning on Twitter, promissed me that he’ll write the first guest post on AREA 1. I won’t give you further information about the article, except that the article will be published this week, because I want to keep it as a surprise for you, my visitors.

YOU could also write a guest post. All you have to do is contact me and I’ll respond as soon as possible.

AREA 1 has been growing and growing since its beginning, but not that much. The blog is still young and I don’t have budget to pay for any article. What could I offer to you now is only expossure. Here’s what that means exactly:

• Author box at bottom of post with links to website and bio. Promote your own blog, get readers;
• Exposure to a constantly growing traffic.

I realize that this isn’t much, but unfortunately this is the best I can do at this moment.

What I’m looking for:

• Tutorials;
• Showcases (ex. 60 Great Wordpress Themes roundup);
• Articles related to web/graphic design, development, inspiration and so on.

If you have any other article in mind, just tell me about it. I’m open to any suggestions.

Do you have any questions? Leave them in the comments and I’ll respond.
