4. Update The Permalink Settings:

The permalink structure helps to increase impressions on SERP (Search Engine Results Page). So change the structure from the default to post name or custom structure.

5. Install The Best SEO Optimized Theme:

There are many WordPress theme stores available on web market. Pick the best theme that has SEO options loaded and possess a good user friendly UI. We recommend MyThemeShop.

6. Change The Media Uploads Directory:

By default, WordPress stores all the files and images in the wp-content/uploads/ folder. However, you can upload all the media files to a desired directory of your choice. To do this, login to your WordPress dashboard and go to Settings > Media.

7. Install The Plugins that are Must:

WordPress allows to add additional functions and scripts for better experience for both admin and user. We can have them by adding a simple piece of code. For those who don’t have coding knowledge, WordPress plugins are available on plugin directory for free.
Some of the best Free WordPress plugins we recommend are:

• Askimet
• All in one SEO
• CommentLuv
• Google Analytics for WordPress
• Google XML Sitemaps
• Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin
• SEO Slugs
• WordPress Database Backup
• WP Smush.it
• WP Super Cache

8. Create Categories:

This is one of the important task for bloggers. The categories must suits the domain keyword and niche. Say if I create a category ‘Funny Images’, it doesn’t suits my domain name TricksMate. So be careful while creating the categories.

9. Create Pages:

It is minimum and must to create an about, contact, private policy, terms and conditions pages. Apart you can create any other of you desire. Example: Blogroll, subscribe, advertise etc..

10. Create a Sitemap:

A Sitemap is a list of all links of the blog in a single page which can be easily accessible to crawlers or users. Use Google XML Sitemaps to create a sitemap with in a few clicks.
