Leveraging WordPress SEO Plugins
Creating and publishing a website is no longer a mysterious, esoteric task that is reserved only for computer geeks. These days, just about everyone and their dog has a website. Anyone wanting a piece of the virtual pie can easily sign up for a free Blogger blog or one of the major Web 2.0 properties like HubPages or Squidoo in about five minutes. Plus, there are lots of WYSIWYG editors available that make creating a beautiful, interactive webpage a very simple process.
One of the most popular tools for hosting a blog is WordPress, an open-source project that is freely available for the downloading. There are at least a thousand tutorials available on the ‘net for how to set up a WordPress blog, configure the theme, upload it to your own hosting account, and so on. This article is not going to re-cover that ground. It has been done more than enough. The question is, what do you do once your blog is online, to get the word out so that you can get traffic?
The answer to that question is: search engine optimization. SEO is basically the process of driving traffic to your website organically (that is, not paid) from the search engines. To get the search engine “spiders” or “bots” to notice your site among the “billions and billions” of pages out on the web, and then rank it “high” in the results pages (so people will find it easily), you’ll need to work on these three general tasks:
- Make sure your content is relevant to the keywords people are searching with
- Optimizing your website and its content with keyword emphasis and linking structures
- Building inbound links to your website from others, preferably those in your same niche
This article focuses on the tools that can simplify item (2) in the list. Backlinking, the process described in (3), is a subject for a whitepaper, not just a short article. And, obviously, it is up to you to be sure your content is relevant to the keywords you are attaching to your pages as mentioned in item (1); just use your common sense.
The good news is that there are any number of tools to simplify the job to improve the optimization on your website. Owing to the popularity of WordPress, an entire industry is producing add-on capabilities in specialized themes and WordPress SEO plugins to facilitate optimizing sites built with the platform.

How to run a successful reciprocal link campaign
Reciprocal linking is a process to establish mutual link between two websites to ensure mutual benefit i.e. traffic, search engine enclosure. It is an important and crucial part of the SEO process because Search engines uses link popularity algorithm (depend upon the number of links that point to a particular page of a website and the title of the link) to rank websites for relevancy.
While doing reciprocal linking you have to be very careful about few particular things. Here we are listing few tips for running a successful reciprocal link building service:
1. Find relevant websites: You will be getting more value from search engines for linking to and from other websites which are relevant to your website. Reciprocal linking from other non-relevant website will not greatly help your website’s standing with search engines.
2. Make sure that each inbound links are good: Be sure to have quality inbound links only. It had been recognized that 100 high quality relevant links is better them 1000 irrelevant low quality links. So try to get links from quality relevant websites only.
3. Do not Link to questionable sites which CAN hurt your ranking: Be aware of such sites that use questionable search engine optimization processes because such sites can harm your ranking. Before accepting any link check whether the page where your link will be posted is cached or not. Also we prefer to not to have any link which is not cached by Google within last 90 days.
4. Few facts to be followed: This is not possible to have all links from same quality sites. But still you have to set up some criteria for accepting links and have to follow them strictly. Don’t go for links which are non-indexed by SE, don’t accept any links with no-follow tag or text links in JavaScript or redirected. These link will not pass any value to your site so better avoid them.
5. Organize the procedure: Be sure to manage your reciprocal link building campaign well organized. Try to keep all records of the URLs where your link is posted along with their link partnership email. Try to track each link periodically and if any links get dropped then try to contact the person and ask him to reestablish the link else delete the corresponding link from your website.
These are few facts that will ensure your rank improvement obvious in search engines. Also while doing reciprocal campaign we recommend you to run a simultaneous one way link campaign as well.
