Site Checklist For SEO
Website Checklist For Your Search Engine Optimization
Hello folks. I came across this list within WA and I thought this is going to be of some use as a procedure the new members can follow and I wont get so may PM’s I will have to reply to.
This is for setting up a new WordPress website
Know Your Main Keyword
Install & Enable Plugins:
All in one SEO
Google XML Sitemap
Ping Optimizer
Robots Meta
Jetpack by WordPress.com
Install Preferred Theme - I use Thesis
Settings - General
Site Title Keyword (Add Keyword Only)
Tag Line (Small Blurb About Site)
WordPress Address (URL) & Site Address (URL)
Add www if domain is short
No www if domain is long
Change Timezone Settings
Settings - Discussion
Uncheck - Allow people to post comments on new articles
Settings - Privacy
Check - Allow search engines to index this site
Settings - Permalinks
Select - Post name
Settings - All in One SEO
Home Title - Add Keyword Only
Home Description - Add Meta Description with Keyword in it
Home Keywords - Leave Blank
Leave the rest as is
Delete Sample Page
Remove Sample Page from Trash
Create New Page with Keyword as the Title
Create New Page called Blog
Settings > Reading
Select ‘A static page’
Front Page: Page with Keyword as the Title
Post page: Page called Blog
Create New Page called Privacy Policy
Create New Page called Contact and use Jetpack’s Contact form feature
Ensure All Content is created for all Pages
Go to Digg.com and Submit Site Link
Go to Reddit.com and Submit Site Link
Go to Googleping.com and Submit Site
As I said at the start this list is available if you know where to look but its been my experience that the New WA Members will not know where to find anything. Now at least my ‘Newbie’ followers will (hopefully lol)
Here is a link to a training video within WA. It should help anyone who still has any problems. I think this list is at the end in PDF form.

Hey Robert, I seen other posts here saying not to install Jetpack as it slows down your website. Have you found this and what are the main benefits of installing it?
Hello. I found the list and Jetpack was the one mentioned so I just included it. Its not my personal choice.
You use what works for you.
Thank you for your comment.
