When it comes to the often-overlooked art of internal website optimization, too many people stick with the standard methods such as being mindful of keyword use within content and relevant tags. Again, there’s nothing wrong with these techniques says Pedro;

They certainly won’t hurt unless you overdo them. However, there are some key ways to improve your blogs internal optimization that will take nearly no maintenance or additional effort. Using these seo blog tactics will give you a nice boost to your SERP rankings. With that in mind, this article will showcase six optimizations to your website that you can achieve easiy using free WP plugins. Take an hour today to make these changes to your website, and you may soon realize it was one of the most time-efficient efforts you did as part of your website promotion endeavors; here are Pedros suggestions for the 6 wordpress blog plugins;
1) Show Your Popular Posts in Sidebar
This a great way to showcase off the successful posts, but it’s also a highlly effective way to improve optimization of those blog posts. When you activate a sidebar list showing the most popular posts, you’re automatically creating blog-wide links. This will strengthen your internal blog optimization of all of your posts, and will improve their overall rankings.
1) Make use of wp plugins that can be used to this effect, such as “Popularity Contest” and “WP-views”.
2) Use a Social Share-bar In this day and age, most webmasters realize they need to install a plugin that makes it easier for users to share content across their favorite social media networks, tribepro, traffic bug etc. What not all webmasters have realized that a share-bar that follows allows users to get more clicks. Each time someone bookmarks your content, you’re getting additional links, so this is actually a way to indirectly have users build links on your behalf!
Use the most popular WP plugin called “ShareBar”; if or some reason this plugin does not work for you, try using “Share Rail”.
3) List SEO Search Terms after your blog Post links within your blog will go a long way towards effective search engine optimization, and the same guidelines apply as with off-site optimization: you want those links to be relevant to your blogs content., Make use related long-term keywords as anchor text. This is why adding a list of incoming search terms to your posts linking to the internal blog posts will improve your blogs ranking for those longterm keywords.
It is vital that the list be kept to the 10 most popular search terms, too many internal links in a single blog page or post may trigger the link spam flags and will reduce rankings.to help in the search terms use the plugin called “SEO SearchTerms 2”.

Pedro mentions that in a future post, he will publish a case study explaining how this plugin will improve your Blog SEO; make sure to visit his blog and subscribe to his newletter to stay updated get that case study when he gets it completed.

Pedro continues on to say that the;

4) WP Minify Code this process involves removing the redundant code and annotations (which are often throughout your blogs backend) before they’re sent to a visitor’s browser. Doing so will often reduce your page sizes, which in turn will make your website load faster & improve the user overall experience.
5) Gzip Compression is the next plugin you see most modern browsers support Gzip compression this means that you can broadcast a compressed file with all the resources necessary to display your page, as opposed to sending the bloated files one at a time? This greatly reduces the page sizes of your blog dramatically increasing (as much as 80% the loading time of your blog pages and posts.
6) Server Side Caching is a must if you have over 1000 unique page views a day. A busy blog relies on plenty of plugins and sophisticated features, you simply can’t do without a cache plugin. What it does is keeps files within your blog static .html format which is served to your visitors directly (as opposed to rendering the website from all its dynamic code and plugins), thus significantly cutting down on the strain to your server. This approach will make your blog load much faster, especially if thousands of them happen to access your blog simultaneously.
Pedrow recommends the use of WP minify, Gzip compression and cache in your website, there problem is that some of these plugins can conflict with one another. Luckily, there’s also a free 3-in-1 solution called “W3 Total Cache”. You’ll be amazed with how faster your blog loads.
