   Hello Everyone! I sure hope this is the right place for this post. I didn't see anything for SEO and to me this falls in the "once its up and running" section.

   Yep, Im a noob. But at least I have been all over google trying to figure this out. I have read that I should try and do it myself so I am going to try. I probably couldn't afford to hire someone anyway being a student and no job. sigh... Anyway...

   So, what I have read is a lot of it is based on content and posts. Well what if your site has a blog, but its not really a blog that would need to be updated very often, and is used for minor announcements? And what if the content is user profiles and not really anything else? See, I am working on a Christian dating site. A very saturated market... but nonetheless I need to try to get visible on the search engines. I have registered and verified to google, yahoo, and bing. I have also added my site to facebook and twitter, with social icons.

   I have tried the plugin "WordPress SEO by Yoast" but I don't really understand everything its talking about (even with research) and it really seems centered around more than what my site does or is capable of.

   Please take a look at my site. Its still a work in progress but Im ready for the next step. I hope someone out there can point me in the right direction?

   Here is my site:

   Even if your site will not be updated very often, you can use the Wordpres extension called "All in One SEO Pack"

   Just download, install and activate it.
   Then go to Settings / All in One SEO and click on Plugin Status: Enabled, it makes your plugin features enabled.
   Just leave by default the other options.

   That's it !

   - Once you create a post, WordPress will request indexing to the most of search engine (Google etc...).
   - Once you modify a post, WordPress will request update-indexing to the most of search engine (Google etc...).

   Regards

   Thank you for your reply! :)

   Would you recommend All in One SEO over the Yoast plugin? I tried yoast because it was supposed to be better... but I guess that's the opinion of the people I discovered on google.

   I was looking into All in one SEO. How would I go about adding keywords? Does all in one SEO have a keyword section? Not really sure how the keyword thing works...

   Hi,

   add keywords in this tool is not needed !
   everything is automatic once you've done the right things in your posts/pages.

   all in one SEO takes info from your posts/page, then it generates posts title, it generates posts description based on the content, it generates posts keywords based on the meta-keywords you've entered in your posts, it's the same for category/tag/search pages !

   It also generates your website title/description if you fill in the required field.
   See above the options :

   It's very easy !

   Hey !
   See below, it's the container All in one SEO has generated in the source code of one of my posts :
   "Terra Nova – La série à maintenant besoin d’un public"

   <!-- All in One SEO Pack 1.6.13.4 by Michael Torbert of Semper Fi Web Design[599,740] -->
   <meta name="description" content="Terra Nova a été co-produit par Steven Spielberg... C'est la série télévisée la plus coûteuse de l'histoire ! FOX a dévoilé hier à Londres" />
   <meta name="keywords" content="episode,fox,kevin reilly,pilot,spielberg,steven,news,séries tv,terra nova" />
   <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.riversatile.fr/2011/09/04/terra-nova-la-serie-a-maintenant-besoin-dun-public/" />
   <!-- /all in one seo pack -->

   You can see that All in One SEO generates description, keywords and fix the canonical URL too !
   This plugin is the better SEO solution, trust me.

   And see now the real Google search engine answer for the same post :
   http://www.google.fr/#sclient=psy&hl=fr&site=&source=hp&q=La+s%C3%A9rie+%C3%A0+maintenant+besoin+d%E2%80%99un+public+site%3Ariversatile.fr&pbx=1&oq=La+s%C3%A9rie+%C3%A0+maintenant+besoin+d%E2%80%99un+public+site:riversatile.fr&aq=f&aqi=&aql=1&gs_sm=s&gs_upl=1009l1009l0l1847l1l1l0l0l0l0l183l183l0.1l1l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=b36ab8f3bc04655e&biw=1920&bih=975

   You can see the same description and the same title !

   You should use the Yoast plugin. It is more efficient from my experience and also has more features.
