Great this information has been posted with professional approach and has been found successfully encompassing the issues related to wordpress optimization.

Можно я возьму пару цитат, естественно с ссылкой на Ваш блог

Thats a great guide about wordpress but i just want to ask one question about that i had a site on html how can i convert my site of html from wordpress any idea.?

This is a great post I found in this blog. A post to be bookmarked.

Converting a site from HTML to WordPress is not something I can explain in a comment or probably in several posts. There are too many variables involved and would need to be done manually.

Get WordPress running and start learning about it on a test environment. When you figured out your approach to convert to WordPress each old HTML page would need to be manually created in WordPress and then you would either need to use a permalink structure to match the old URLs or use a redirect.

Cool. I’m still new to Wordpress and this has helped me a great deal. I’ve been using blogger before I migrated and I’m really amazed with Wordpress. Regretting I didn’t move earlier. Anyway just wanted to thank you for helping out. Cheers

Thanks for the Detailed Info about Wordpress. Especially the Wordpress API, I was totally unaware of the fact that even wordpress has its API.
Thanks again for the Info

Does feedburner really make that much difference?

Martin FeedBurner gives more flexibility to your feed for people to choose how to view it including an email subscription as well as subscriber stats. If you read these posts you would learn more about it:

Thanks for all the links with useful info on wordpress. It is a good program to work with, but it can be hard sometimes.

Each time I start a new blog my first choice is Wordpress. For a casual user, I think it’s enough. But for those of us that make money from this, it needs a little bit of tweaking to be optimized for SEO. Overall, I think you have a great resource here, so I bookmarked this page.

I just wanted to say that Jeff did a great job installing my wordpress, plus he added other items to it that I had NO idea about. I don’t know very much about computers, but Jeff did it all for me. I already recommended him to 3 of my friends. If anyone has any doubts about installing wordpress,send Jeff an e-mail. I feel that installing it was not that easy and very confusing to me. Thank God I found Jeff on line. So anyone out there that feels the same way, e-mail Jeff you will not be sorry.

Thanks Jeff

you should read this. Just subscribed to your RSS. Was searching for “business services” when I found “ss Optimization Guide | WordPress Max | WordPress Guides For The Geek Impaired”. Safely bookmarked.

I guess this post has summarized it all. what could be better than this one?

Just came across your blog when searching google for wordpress guide. My last blog was on blogger but I want to do the next one with wordpress. You did a great job! You summarize all the information needed for novice wordpress user. Thank you very much.

Wordpress does offer an ever expanding array of plugins that not only make SEO straightforward, but also offers a manageable CMS platform for publishers.

The ‘ping’ aspect of blogs reduces the work of the SE’s finding new content and there’s the opportunity for a community to increase the content with comments – just like this comment

Wordpress is by far one of the best CMS there is, i have used it for many different sites for different clients (one of which mentioned this blog) and the tutorials and support for such a big platform make it such a great choice thats easy to learn for the newbie blogger which reduces support time for clients sites.

This is a fantastic resource – especially for newbies to WordPress. I’m going to share it around with a number of different people that DEFINITELY need to read it!

I like very much the writings and pictures and explanations in your adress so I look forward to see your next writings. I congratulate you.

This is a great post, information I could really use. Thank you Word Press is awesome.

this update will makes my sites better…

We think about to use WP for our planed Blog. But WP is very often updating, isnt?

I like wordpress and I shall not cease to wonder the appearance all new and new plugins.

I have never used a wordpress ecom package, for me it’s easier to have the ecom platform (perhaps OSCommerce) in the root folder of the site and then put the wordpress on a subdomain of the domain.

So you end up with blog.domain.com <–wordpress

domain.com <–store

gallery.com <–some images

and so on, I find this also helps with SEO tactics although I am sure someone will argue that using a folder structure is perhaps more popular with the search engines these days.

Hi all…
We just recently converted our blog to WordPress, and tho its a detailed process and takes some time, its really not difficult. WordPress has made this task so simple and with posts like this…you will be an expert in no time!! This is an absolutely fabulous guide.

Thanks so much and appreciate all your work in keeping us informed and educated.

Hi, Thanks for the tutoral on “How To Get A WordPress API Key”. Really helped a lot. Thanks. Will visit this site every now and then to check for updates.

Thanks for the checklist for wordpress seo. I am always feeling like I am forgetting something, every time I start a new blog. This gives me a resource that will save me a lot of time and worry. Check out my blog and leave a comment http://truthcanhurt.com

this is nice tips..thanks for sharing..I use Wp 2.7, and this version really good. try it!

I agree with you. Especially for wordpress 2.7. This version really more better than older one. Especially for pluggin. it’s cool.

Thanks for information. I think there are many advantages. I will use it.

I think there are many advantages and i will use it in my next blog cause now i have already used blogger.

I am new to using wordpress and this guide has helped me out a lot. Thank you

Nice guide, though I think it’s missing a mention for WPCache which is essential to handle traffic spikes.

Great guide for newbies in WP, well done.
With regard to seo plugins, there is another more recent alternative – Platinum SEO Pack, it’s also free and quite versatile. Just search for the name on Google.

Good luck!
Andrew

Agree – very comprehensive guide and a shout out about WPcache would be good as it’s very kind to hosts and servers in general! For those with ambitions of getting front page of Digg or Reddit, WPcache is your buddy – it reduces your website’s “footprint” on the server – basically it uses a lot less of the server since your website data is cached.

Cool. I’m still new to Wordpress and this has helped me a great deal. I’ve been using blogger before I migrated and I’m really amazed with Wordpress. Really helpful post. Thanks

It looks very nice, keep up the good work!

Getting a proper wordpress blog is something many people wish to do but don’t know the right ways to do it. Thanks to you, even I learnt a lot of new means to make a good blog and get the best use out of it. Your tutorials are really helpful. Thanks a lot.

hi,

Thanks for sharing the useful information on Wordpress optimization. This is good for Beginners

I have just started using wordpress for the first time and I have been looking for tips, and just wanted to say that your site is an excellent resource for someone needing help or needing tips with wordpress. The akismet plugin also is very helpful to me. Thanks.

nice post, i think this guide could really help smooth out some of the bugs in my site. thanks for all of the tips. i’ll tell my friends about this for sure.

Wordpress is a great tool to build up a good website. Many plugins are available to make up a valuable website. Even with the use of joomla in wordpress, we can do wonders with our web page. Thanks for the installation process guidance.

many thanks for this post, this is what I look for in the long time…I’ve read many ebooks about WP guide and whatever, but these is the greatest one…many thanks, i’m going to bookmark it

thanks ALOT. This has helped me alot with setting up my new blog.

I am so glad I switch over to WP because WP is so much better then Drupal plus I love the nice beautiful themes too!

Wordpress is still number one in my book with plenty of plug-ins and Google love.

It is also one of the best supported platforms out there.

I really appreciate you for telling me about Akismet. Activating Akismet plugin really wards off spammers. Also thanks for telling us about downloading free e-books, Authority Black Book and Blog Mastermind really helped me a lot.Keep up the good work.

Man you sure did write a lot of posts on wordpress. You seem to realy know what you are doing when it comes to blogging – but I guess we can expect as much because you run a how to wordpress blog.

Wordpess is awesome! I like it because it is simple and straightforward. It takes me like literally 1 hour to get a site setup and loaded with its first two posts. I love it!

WordPress has become one of the best CMS. I have tried using this for different websites. The tutorials offered are really fabulous most especially for novice ones. I recommend WordPress than any other else.
