It is a good idea to use categories to power the “Must Read” and “Worth A Look” lists on the side of your WordPress blog. The code that you will want to use in order to do this will look like this:

<h3>Popular Articles</h3>
<ul>
<?php query_posts(’category_name=popular’); ?>
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<li><a href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a><br />
<?php the_excerpt(); ?></li>
<?php endwhile; ?><?php endif; ?>
</ul>

You are going to want to add this code to your theme’s template file. Once you have done so, it will be time to add posts to it. From this point on, every time that a post is placed into that category, it will appear within this list. Of course, this can be further customized in any way that you desire.

Having a “Print This” button will be better for some blogs than it will be for others. The types of blogs that will do best with this are those that offer tutorials, recipes and guides. If you run this type of of a blog, then here is the JavaScript code that you will need to use in order to create this button:

<a href=”javascript:window.print()” rel=”nofollow”>Print This!</a>

With this button installed, the page that your visitor is on will be printed. Therefore, you probably do not want to place it on your homepage or else they will be printing your entire homepage, which they probably will not be appreciative of.

WordPress SEO Tip: Check Your Sand Trap

Most of the WordPress themes that are available are terrible whenever it comes to SEO. Thankfully, most of these problems can be fixed though.The problems that you need to be on the lookout for include:

  1. 1. The sidebar code appears before the content. Since most pages use the same sidebars, every page will look the same to the Search Engines before they get to the content. If everything is working smoothly, then this is not going to be all that much of a problem. However, if you have a single glitch in your sidebar’s code, then the Search Engines are not going to be able to read the content and thus they are not going to be able to index your page.
  2. 2.Your archive and category pages are going to show duplicate content unless you fix it. This can be fixed with a plugin or by simply setting each of these pages to display excerpts only. Of course, you can also set them so that they will not index the meta tags.
  3. 3.H2 tags signify what content is of importance. However, WordPress uses them in the sidebars and thus they may be sending conflicting messages to the Search Engines spiders. This can also be a problem whenever H2 tags are used in the comments section and your blog has a lot of comments.
  4. 4.The title tags are poorly set up. This is because there is no SEO structure whenever the pages or posts are saved. Therefore, you need to set the permalinks in order to create good SEO titles and URL’s, taking the page title into consideration first. You can find plugins to help you with this.

If you take a little time to pay attention to these things, then you will be able to create an extremely friendly SEO WordPress web site.
