In this article I am going to show you how to install Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugin.
Everyone knows Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is important. But getting it right in every article is not easy.
All-In-One SEO does a lot of the work for you with regards to metatags, titles, etc. But it doesn't tell you what is missing within your actual article.
I have found that the Wordpress SEO plugin by Yoast basically gives you a checklist on how to edit your article for the best results for the keywords you are targeting.
Before I show you how to install Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugin, have a look at what it does for you:
This makes SEO extremely easy:
1) Write your article naturally.
2) Use Jaaxy to find a sensible keyword that is under 300 QSR and over 50 monthly searches.
3) Make that keyword your title. For example, this article is targeting the keywords "Install Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugin" so that is my title.
4) Add a subtitle that adds color to your keyword title.

5) Add your Focus keyword under the proper field in the Wordpress SEO by Yoast widget.
6) Add a meta description that includes your keyword in it. Save your draft.
7) Click "Page Analysis".
8) Follow the tips until all the buttons turn green (except "The keyword for this page contains one or more stop words, consider removing them." I ignore that one).
That's it. Isn't that cool? Now even more people will see the fantastic content you just created.
I think you will enjoy this plugin as much as I do.
So, how to install Yoast Wordpress SEO Plugin:
1) Click Plugins.
2) Click Install New.
3) Search "Wordpress SEO by Yoast".
4) Click Install.
5) Click Activate.
