Bloggers Get Valuable Whitehat SEO Tips From Matt Cutts!

Recently, Matt Cutts from Google came up with some interesting Whitehat SEO tips on his WordCamp 2007 conference in San Francisco. He talked about different issues on the occasion like:

• Don’t post your blog at root page of domain
• Name your directory as “blog“, instead of “wordpress”
• For better results use different categories that are also good keywords
• Always make sure one important fact exists in your site which is crawlable by Google
• The post creation dates should be easy to find
• Try to check your blog on a cell phone/iPhone
• Your blog must have the capability to do standard pings

Matt Cutts also talked about the mistakes that users generally make in a Wordpress blog. These mistakes should be avoided at any cost for better result. Avoid doing mistakes like:

• Change the default permalink (domain.com/?p=111). Matt pointed out that he personally uses /%postname%/
• Never use sponsored theme as they can lose all your trust in different search engines.
• Most importantly, if your blog is hosted at free Wordpress site, never use it as a platform for PayPerPost as it does go with the rules of Wordpress’ TOS.
