Know SEO Blog

One of the first things you have got to learn to be a WordPress blogger if how to install a Plug-in.  To make your blog search engine friendly the easy way, install plugins that do all of the work for you!

I have learned is that it is always best to set the blog up correctly before you get traffic.  Changing the structure afterward can sometimes mess with your rankings.  The next lesson is going to be on how to optimize a new install of WordPress.  To do this, you need to know how to install plug-ins first.

Here are some things that you need to install a plug-in:

1.  FileZilla – a FTP client used to send the plugin to your host

download here for free – Click on download under FileZilla

Or any other FTP client

2.  FTP login information – If you don’t know what your FTP information is then e-mail your hosting provider.  First try to login using your Cpanel login and password to ftp.yourdomain.com.

3.  All in One SEO Pack Plugin – We might as well install something useful.

Download and install FileZilla.  Download the all in one seo pack and unzip the file.  To make it easy, unzip the file to c:\plugins

Now open FileZilla.  On the column on the left click my computer, c:\plugins to get to your unziped plugin.  On the top type ftp.yourdomain.xxx in the host, and then your user name and password.

After you are logged in, look for a directory on the ride side called wp-content.  If you cannot find it then look for a directory called public-html click on it, and then search for wp-content.  After you are in wp-content search for plugins.  Click on that directory.  Now drag the contents of your c:\plugins diretory to the window on the right.  Now your files are copied to your server!
