Have you ever thought about web hosting and how it plays in your search engine rankings?
Did you know google is better about indexing your websites if your pages load faster? There are a few things I use to become indexed and on the pages of google. This post will outline what I use and how I use them in terms of getting better results from Search engines.
First we will talk about WordPress. I use WordPress because I can deploy a website in hours instead of days. Even though the theme and banner may not be custom. You throw in some plugins and good theme and alittle SEO backside help and your half way there to being search from Google.
I never really thought about it much but web hosting plays a major role in our website speed weather your on shared, resellersm VPS, or your own box. The network you are on, are they fast? Do they keep good uptime, do they have the best connection, Are they from around the world or are they across the country? Are they in the UK when all your traffic comes from the US? These are the questions one must ask them self when they are buying web hosting, Are you one that goes for the cheapest or are you one that searches and takes time?
I use the Ol’ HostGator cause I can upgrade with a call, Fast Support, Great uptime and great service. I dont need much more.
On to the next part, As for wordpress plugins as I said. I use 3 major plugins, AIO SEO, Its the SEO plugin for professionals that want to be found from google, yahoo, bing. Much of my traffic comes from google and I want to keep it that way.
Next Major one is WordPress Super Cache, This is a big part of making your website faster, It caches your pages and load them faster when someone comes on to your site they basically see a mini version of your website that loads quicker. It can be annoying when your changing things like coding because you have to clear your cache to see the results.
The last one is Easy Retweet, This post lets me retweet my post to twitter without having to go to twitter, login, post it, shorten the URL, and all. This one I can just pop up and its already shortened and just use it. Very Useful when you use twitter as a major marketing tool which any webmaster/admin should for almost any website.
Of course there is always more to be said and more you should be doing, but this will set you in the right path to make your website faster and quicker when your thinking in search engine traffic, Don’t get left behind by the now, Start thinking of the future and how you can develop your site to become one of the best on the internet and the most visited out of your niche.
