Great post. Thank you.

One item that DaveS touched on. You should change the example code to courier or code text because when I copied and pasted it into my web file and uploaded it there was an error because the browser didn’t understand the apostrophes.

Some beginners may not be aware of changing the apostrophes and get stuck.

hi Liew, remember me ?
I am helping my friend to setup a blog website recently, and I think this is a better solution for newbies… no programming knowledge require, just install the plugin. : http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/

Cheers.

If I make these changes to my post titles..will I have to do 301 redirects or is the URL unaffected?

I’ve written some instructions for changing the behavior of wp_title to produce better page titles. This includes a method for removing the separator and also for removing unwanted spaces.

Thanks! This worked amazingly. I hope I can get more hits now. I never thought about SEO with my wordpress, especially with the titles. My template must have been crummy to begin with. Thanks.

Just to be clear, the code looks like this — cut/paste did not work as the single quotes and the dash are not clean ASCII:

If anybody interested, I’ve assemble a list of plugins for optimizing keywords and description tags too. Although the emphasis on keywords is less these days.

Yes I made the template change directly to my blog using WordPress 2 and it works!
But don’t just cut and paste the text given by liew because WordPress changed the single quotes ‘ ‘ . Replace the quotes with true single quotes and it will work.

the TITLE optimization is a must. h1 h2 are all useless. the TITLE is the main factor in getting traffic from search engine.
