These strategies include the following actions:

Search Engine Optimization Tools
There are many online marketing tools that help your SEO. If you run a wordpress blog there are plugins you can upload to your site that will take care a great part of your blog’s search engine optimization needs. The two that I use and that I plan to keep using are these:
1) “All in One SEO”
All in One SEO plugin that allows you to set the metadata for you main URL and all your pages and posts. It is also free.
2) SEO PRESSOR
SeoPressor is an advanced and not free plugin that does wonderful work when it comes to help you provide content that is already very appropriate and eligible to rank very high on Google. After installing the plugin on your blog and while you are composing your post and saving the draft versions, the plugin will give you real time suggestions on what you need to do in order to achieve the highest success level (%) of SEO for your specific post.
In more detail it tells you that you have to include your targeting keyword in your hi,h2,h3 tags, it will italic, bold and underline your keyword for you and it will remind you to include your keyword as an ALT text in the picture that you will upload. It will also remind you that you need to link to one of your other pages or posts on your blog and it will show you what is your keyword’s density so you are 3%.
Well it does not get any easier than that, I have it installed here on my new blog and I am getting organic traffic from Google and other search engines for all my published posts already. My posts are being found by people who type my chosen keyword phrase on google search and they land on my website 
This is great news for a newly launched site.

Sounds like SEO is a big deal or iit can be BIG if you don’t take it seriously.
SEOPressor helps in automating the basic on-site seo requirements of a post. It’s a worthy one time investment for any blogger/website owner that runs a CMS site.
SEO is a really hard thing to fully understand, and there is always more to learn. Still I think this article serves as a good basic primer for those just figuring out what search engine optimization is all about. Good post. I’ll come back soon and poke around a bit more.

I am still new to WordPress. So you are suggesting these two plug ins the “all in on SEO” and “SeoPressor.” Can I get just one or the other or would you recommend getting them both? Also are their any more free plugins that I need to get?
It’s true that people, with a little time, could learn the basics of SEO and apply it to their websites. Some people need to realise this and stop being fooled by some of the horrible SEO companies!
Very helpful article. glad to have come through this. excellent tips for everyone doing SEO.

Hi Joanna,
I have the All in One SEO plugin and I can say that it is definitely a must have On-Site SEO tool for a wordpress blog. I have yet to try SeoPressor but based on your article I think the $97 price tag is definitely worth it.
