SEO, Search Engine Optimisation, is a full time study if it is to be done right, the search engine folk keep moving the goal posts.  Just when you think you have  to set up your site, along comes another bit that you either should have or shouldn’t have.  And….often times the latter means your site gets penalised and you have no idea it was happening.

It is not the easiest to understand what it all means either but help is at hand or should I say mouse.

This link will take you to a site that has 7 Essential SEO Cheat Sheets and this link is for the SEO Cheat Sheet pdf

Among the 7 Essential SEO Cheat Sheets is a very handy WordPress one, while not  SEO as such, it has all the .php snippets for what is in the files.  So now if you are looking for something to adjust etc in the .php files, you can look this up and find the .php snippet much easier.

All in all a good site to add to your favourites to refer back to.

In the SEO Cheat Sheet PDF there are just little things that you may not know like, how many characters in your Title and how many characters in the Meta Description, think about those long tail keyword phrases that are so all the go right now, how long is too long.

The depth of the URL is another thing I found interesting, particularly with WordPress, I often use the Uploads in wp-content and sometimes a folder then another in that folder to another in that……not good!

While I know I’m never going to be an SEO expert, these cheat sheets on my desktop, will come in very handy.  Hope they do for you too.

Till next time

Cheers
