First off, my mentor Alex Jeffreys always says to provide extra value in the form of good content…so here we go.

Thanks for visiting my new website/weblog. Since this is a new launch, there are a few things I am doing over the next couple of days to prepare my new site for public consumption. After that I will be writing more about myself and tell you what my plans are for this website, and about my mentor Alex Jeffreys.

This is a first step to doing some important online SEO that will help to get EvanBeckOnline.com (or your new site) indexed in the search engines rather quickly.

The first thing I did was to change the “privacy” setting to prevent the site from being crawled by the search bots until I have added some content in the form of original posts. We will turn this back on after we have some content in place. Here is how to get there:

Dashboard > Settings > Privacy

Privacy Settings-Online SEO

The first three posts I have made relate to information about this site, and are viewed by Google to be important pieces of information.

I have found these pages essential to help with organic search rankings, plus they will increase trust with the major search engines (Google, Yahoo, Bing) and with the visitors to your website.

At a minimum, you have to have a Contact Page, an About Page, a Privacy Policy Page, and a Site Map Page. The site map page is created with a free plugin, Google XML Sitepmaps.

I tie these all together for easy navigation in a “catergory” that I title “Website Information”. Although these are titled as “pages”, I publish these as “posts” for a very specific reason. I want to use my “pages” for promotional information in the future, and the “posts” will always be used for publishing content and articles (the journal function and aspect of a blog).

You will note that the free theme I am using (Flexibity2) also creates a tab for each page at the top of the header for easy reference. I have included a video about Flexibility2 at the bottom of this post.

Unless you are doing something unethical or spammy, then there is no reason for not including these pages and this information. Another thing I like to do is include links to these items at the bottom of the static home page for internal linking and easy navigation.

I hope this will give you a head start on indexing a new Wordpress powered website. My first few posts will continue this online SEO process. Please leave any questions in the comments, and I will try to answer them.
