Welcome to another of my trainings on Wordpress

This training will guide you through the whole of the, All In One SEO Pack set up procedure so you can get the maximum benefits from this plugin

The first step to setting up a wordpress site is to choose between a static home page or a blog roll, this is really a personal choice and you need to choose what ever makes you feel comfortable. Its your site so you must set it up the way you want it

Once you have made this decision, the set up of your All In One SEO Pack can begin so without further ado lets get started

To get started click on the general settings, if this is your first time setting this up, yours will not look like the image above, as it is not yet configured and all the features will not yet be activated.

Home Page Settings

In order to set up your home page titles, you can choose the title of your home page, try to make it catchy in order to attract peoples eyes in the SERP'S (Search Engine Results Page).

You can get some of keywords in the title if you wish. If you leave this section blank the "All In One SEO Pack" will use the default title for your website.

In the home description you get a chance to provide a description of your site and what it is all about, in addition to this you can get some of your keywords in the "SERP'S". Don't go overboard with keywords though and ensure your description make sense.

If you choose a static home page then click the radio button as shown below

If you choose a static home page you will be able to use the meta title and description boxes at the bottom of your page within the dashboard. Where you can choose a unique title and description for your site

This is my home page meta settings

Title Settings

Within the section you can set up global title formats for all your your posts and pages. Every time you generate a page or post. Wordpress allocates a <title> this allows the plugin to overwrite the title and put in the correct format that you have set

The format here is for my home page and then for all my posts and other pages

Home page = Just the title -

Page format = Page title followed by blog title

Post format =Post title followed by blog title

Below is an example

Post Title = How To Use Permalinks in WordPress- Ultimate Guide

Blog Title = WP CliniK

.

This is now set for all my posts so they appear in the SERPS in the same format, and of course I can get my keywords in my title, my permalink and my description

Custom Post Settings

Most people don't use this, so if you don't need it just leave it as it is, however some of you might want to use it. Custom posts are a way of describing different types of content

The content most of us use is called, standard content but there are other types of content that need to be described in a very specific way for SEO purposes

Examples of custom post content

Product pages in e-commerce sites

Sliders displaying images

Movie Listings pages

You can also create custom taxonomies for your product pages, taxonomies are ways of describing sections of content, A category is a taxonomy for example. If you had a really big e-commerce site you may want to set up more complex taxonomies for all your products and product pages.

To do this requires an additional plugin that goes with this one its called

The Custom Post Type UI Plugin

If you just have a normal site like most of us, then you can just leave this section as it is.
