By Meagan Smith


If you are the owner of a low traffic Wordpress blog and you are looking to increase both your traffic and sales then pay close attention. In this article we are going to talk about some of the key plugins and things your blog should have if you want to be successful and stand out from the competition.

We recommend that the first thing you do with every new Wordpress installation is that you have these plugins. All-in-one seo is one of the best free plugins for Wordpress that can help you optimize the meta data information for both your pages and single blog posts. Meta data is crucial for seo purposes and even though the plugins needed for your site depend entirely on what type of site you are building SEO optimization is something you should always do no matter what.

Another great plugin which will help you with SEO purposes is the Google sitemap plugin. Let's face it, Google is where you need to be if you want to attract targeted traffic to your site. Sitemaps are a great way to help search engine spiders crawl your site and index your content faster. You can search on the Wordpress directory to get many free plugins you can install.

SEO should not be your only focus when it comes to optimization. Keep in mind that social media is huge right now and sites like Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and many others get millions of visitors every month. Your Wordpress site should be social media friendly and there are plenty of plugins to help your visitors to easily share your content across all social networks.

We hope that the information in this article has provided you with tips and suggestions on what areas of your site you need to work on. The goal was to show you how to properly optimize your site in a way that will help you increase your traffic and hopefully sales for whatever products and services you might sell.
