Matt Cutts Offers SEO Advice for Wordpress Bloggers

Thursday, 26 July 2007

Loren Baker serves up some tasty tidbits of advice today from Matt Cutt's talk at the Wordpress Wordcamp this past weekend. You can also find coverage of Matt's session at CNET News, The WordCamp Report and Climb to the Stars.

Loren shares:

Matt recommends the SEO Title Plugin to swap the name of the blog title with the name of the post titles.

Use Alt attributes while blogging and with photos.

Google does not care about the number of slashes in a URL (blog/title/date/#)?. [but Yahoo does]

File extensions in the URL won?t affect rankings (.php, .html, .htm, .asp, .aspx, .jsp), just don?t use .exe

Underscores in URLs are now (or at least very soon to be) treated as word separators by Google. Beforehand,
underscores and hyphens were not counted as such.
If you want to get into Google News, secure multiple authors
