WordPress uses “normal” HTML.

I’ve also used two very good plugins for SEO. You can try all-in-one SEO or platinum SEO.
Yoasts SEO plugin, also, if you need one at all.
Thanks for the answers, I will look into it
I use All in One SEO plugin. It is good one.
I don’t even need any of those plugins because my theme has SEO features built in. WordPress has an advantage over a regular html website because it auto generates pages. The more pages in your website, the more likely it is for a search engine to notice you and possibly rank you higher.

The problem with theme-based SEO is that if and when you switch themes… well anyway, you get the point.
As for your last statement “The more pages in your website, the more likely it is for a search engine to notice you and possibly rank you higher.” that’s not totally true. Sure, having 100 pages is generally better than one page but overall, fresh quality content trumps quantity.
In other words, having one new well-written page per week is way better than one new cruddy page per day.
All in one seo plugin is the best undoubtedly. It just solves the purpose. It has kind of become mandatory now to have a good all in one seo title and description to make sure your page gets indexed faster and starts ranking soon.
Hi – i am totally new to the whole site building thing – have managed to get my site uk-digital-piano.com off the ground
now im trying to do first bit of SEO – I know this is just a general question but hope somene can answer
Im going to blogs and putting contextual links with yamaha-digital-piano
as code for the backlink. The issue is that it looks as if it has worked – i.e. the anchor text shows OK and you can see it highlighted but when you hover over it you just get the curser and the hand doesnt appear – on other words it not a link. PLEASE can someone tell me what Im doing wrong
and now it has just done the same thing in my comment !!!
please can someone tell me the correct code that will result in a link ?
This is an 8 month old post – pianoman100 please make a new topic, all your own. If you’re putting in links like <a>yamaha-digital-piano</a> then you’re doin’ it wrong.
<a href="http://example.com">My cool site</a> is a link.
