Keyword Tips from Karen Cioffi Ventrice

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By Tech Smartie Karen Cioffi Ventrice

To get search engines to categorize and index your content, you still need to use keywords. It's the quickest way for them to do that.

You should put a keyword in your title; in the first paragraph of the article, once midway through and in the last paragraph. But, the first two are probably the most important.

After you have your article in place, go to the POST SETTINGS on the right side of the blogging area. In Labels input the keywords relevant to the article.

Then, scroll down to the SEARCH DESCRIPTION area. Put a keyword effective brief description. This is as important as using keywords because if a search engine picks up the article to use as the results of a search query, they usually use the description you create to go along with it.

It's pretty much the same for optimizing a WordPress blog post also.
