You Need to SEO

Zack — Sun, 13 Nov 2011 16:34:47 +0000

I’ve seen a lot of hard working bloggers, writing new post everyday, working for 4~6 hours a day, some of them even work more than 10 hours to make every post perfect.

Unfortunately, the result doesn’t usually end up well. They don’t get the traffic they desired. Some can get quite ok traffic, but as they work so hard, they should have better than this.

When I go over these blog, the most common problem I found is always about SEO. Everything is fine, the design is all right, the content is good, but Google just doesn’t like them that much. Actually, sometimes they only need to do a little bit modify to get everything better, like get some better meta keywords, put “alt” to the images, etc.

Or you don’t need to do it yourself, hire someone to help you. A lot of SEO Company out there, they can help you with PPC Management, some will even provide you Free SEO Software to help all the way through.

How to Write WordPress robots.txt for SEO

Zack — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 06:31:47 +0000

What is a robots.txt? Here is the answer from Google:

A robots.txt file provides restrictions to search engine robots (known as “bots”) that crawl the web. These bots are automated, and before they access pages of a site, they check to see if a robots.txt file exists that prevents them from accessing certain pages.

Do we need a robots.txt for your WordPress blog? Yes, we do. Because every WordPress blog has content that is not necessary for search engine to index, for example, the wp-admin folder which includes admin files. Another reason for creating robots.txt is to prevent the search engine from reaching the same content from more than one location, you know, we can find the same post in the categary folders, monthly archives, or particular tag. Google never likes content duplication. A great robots.txt file will increase efficiency of google clawler, that’s a good job done for SEO.

Now the questiion is how to write a proper robots.txt. What should be include in the robots.txt file? Let’s make a list. Some obvious folders and url keyword should be write down at first, here is the first part of my robots.txt file:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-admin
Disallow: /wp-includes
Disallow: /wp-content/plugins
Disallow: /wp-content/cache
Disallow: /wp-content/themes
Disallow: /trackback
Disallow: /comments
Disallow: /category/*/*
Disallow: */trackback
Disallow: */comments
Allow: /wp-content/uploads

The first line “User-agent: *” means allowing all robots(Googlebot, Adsbot-google, etc) to index my blog. I disallowed all folders excluding the /wp-content/uploads folder, because this folder contains files uploaded for post content.

And then I will disallow all files with ? in url, because I’ve modified my Permalinks setting, there shouldn’t be any ? in my url. I wrote these two lines into robots.txt:

Disallow: /*?*
Disallow: /*?

We also need to disallow files ending with extendsions like .php, .js, etc to be indexed. You could modify this list depend on your own needs.

Disallow: /*.php$
Disallow: /*.js$
Disallow: /*.inc$
Disallow: /*.css$
Disallow: /*.gz$
Disallow: /*.wmv$
Disallow: /*.cgi$
Disallow: /*.xhtml$

Finally, I would allow Google image bot and Google Adsense bot on entire site.

# allow google image bot to search all images
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow:
Allow: /*

# allow Google adsense bot on entire site
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
Disallow:
Allow: /*

You can copy my robots.txt for your WordPress blog, you will see there are 3 more lines in my file:

# BEGIN XML-SITEMAP-PLUGIN
Sitemap: http://zacklive.com/sitemap.xml.gz
# END XML-SITEMAP-PLUGIN

These lines are generated by the XML-Sitemap plugin telling robots where the sitemap file is. And there is a plugin KB Robots.txt, which is designed to help bloggers with the robots.txt, you may like to take a look, but I don’t think it’s necessary to use a plugin for the robots.txt file.

After finish writing the robots.txt, you can go to Google Webmasters Tools to analyse your robots.txt.
