Using WordPress as a website or blog is a fantastic idea and allows for the posting of unique content on the internet every day. The biggest goal for a WordPress owner wanting to make money online is to have as many people as possible reading their articles and then benefiting from them.
WordPress comes with numerous tools and widgets that can make a bloggers life easier, but out of the box, WordPress needs help and WordPress has allowed for that will the utility of additional applications called “Plugins“. These little applications will add additional functions to your website. One of the most popular is “All In One SEO“.
One of the nightmares of owning a monetized website is getting people to our websites. It’s easy to just develop a website and hope for the best, but in every case we have to do some fine tuning to make sure the search engines know what our website is about. This fine tuning is called “Search Engine Optimization” or SEO and WordPress does not allow for more advanced fine tuning other than the use of tags. So just like a mechanic needs a special tool to fine tune or cars, WordPress owners need a tool that allows us to fine tune our web pages. This is were the All In One SEO WordPress plugin comes in handy.
The All In One Seo plugin lets a WordPress owner customize their contents title, description and keywords for easier search ability by the search engines. Basically, by performing this content fine tuning we are making it easier for the search engines to work out what you websites content is about. The better we do this fine tuning the better search results for our websites.
The All In One SEO plugin is used for the optimization of your web pages and blog posts. Once installed and the plugin is activated all you need to do is go to the All In One SEO Administration page, fill in a few fields and you are away. Then each time you a add a post or page to your WordPress website, you will be able to add a custom page title, page description and then keywords and keyword phrases that best describe your post or page.
You will find the required fields underneath the post editor. Usually it is the first field you will come to when you scroll down the page, however if you have other post editing plugins installed you may find that the All In One SEO fields are nearer to the bottom of the page.
