Using the Advanced SEO Upgrade

BlogsOnUs has automatic SEO by default.  But the Advanced SEO Upgrade lets you customize you meta tags that search engines see, which really helps your site get ranked by the search engines.

Note: To activate the Advanced SEO Upgrade, go to your Administration Area > Upgrades.  You can activate it for 1, 3 or 12 months at a time.

If you have already upgraded to the Advanced SEO Upgrade, here are some tips that will help you maximize your sites visiblity to search engines.

To change options for the Advanced SEO, visit your admin area > Settings > All In One SEO.  Click on the blue headings for each item to get a full description for each item.  These settings will greatly improve your overall SEO. Probably the two greatest things to edit here will be your Home Title and Description.  The Home Keywords, in most cases, should be kept blank.  BlogsOnUs automatically populates this field with the  tags and categories that you add to your posts and pages.

You also have custom SEO settings you can set on each page and post on your site.  WordPress Pages don’t let you add tags or keywords normally, but with the Advanced SEO plugin, you have the option on adding keywords on each page you create.  The settings are right below the Page/Post text area when you are editing the Page/Post.

While Posts allow you to add categories and tags (which will be converted to Meta Tags for search engines automatically by BlogsOnus), there may be times you want additional keywords, but really don’t want them included as a tag.  This gives you the ability to add special keywords that will be added to your regular tags.  Again, a very powerful tool for search engines.

Keep in mind, search engines like google love new content.  This is why more and more companies are including a blog on their web sites.  Each time you add a new Blog Entry, BlogsOnUs notifies the search engines that you have new content.  Again, search engines love new content.  While your site might really only neeed Pages (static content), having posts, or an ongoing blog, will keep your site fresh as far as search engines go and bring people to your site.
