How to add Keywords in WordPress Blog

I am a website designer and also a site promoter, due to my line of work, I often get asked by my clients who started to adopt blogging on how to optimize their blog page.

They look behind the admin pages and realize that there are many PHP files within a single blog theme. Most of them are familiar with HTML coding but not PHP so, when they look around the files, they don’t really know where to add their keywords. They usually search around and look for the “meta keywords” tag but can’t seem to find them.

Unfortunately, meta tags are not something that WordPress installs just because they are too many parameters that are author specific.

So here is a short “How To” tip in adding SEO keywords to your blog.

You need to first log in to your wordpress admin page. Now under “presentation” click on theme editor. You will then see the option “select the theme to edit”, please make sure it is the current theme you are using (for ex: meadow, mtsix, mandigo, and others).

Once you have this defined, look over the side bar menu, and click on the link “Header” or “Header.php”. Once you have clicked on this, the code will then be displayed on the “editing code box view”. Inside the box you will notice the tags, “DOCTYPE” and “title”.  Once you have found the “title” tag, you will then scroll down to find the closing tag “/title”.

After you found the closing tag, you will then include the meta tags that you wish to add. The most common parameters are keywords, authors, descriptions, copyright, language, and more. I have shown an example below:

meta name=”description” content=”Web Blog Press, Website Design and Marketing Blog” ;
meta name=”keywords” content=”web blog press, website design blog, free article submission, website marketing blog, SEO blog, SEO Articles, website design articles, website marketing articles”
meta name=”resource-type” content=”document”
meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html; charset=US-ASCII”
meta http-equiv=”content-language” content=”en-us” />

meta name=”copyright” content=”Copyright (c)2006-2007 Web Blog Press. All Rights Reserved.”

After you have added these meta tags, click on “update file” to save all the changes that you have included to header.php. To verify that you have successfully added the parameters, go ahead and see your site on normal view, right click on your page and click view source. Under the source file, you should now see all your meta tags added.

In conclusion, adding meta tags on WordPress blogs are really easy. Now that you are familiar with the steps, keep optimizing your web page for better traffic results and this starts by choosing the right keywords.
