Do you have a blog set up using Wordpress? If you don’t and are considering setting up a blog, you might like the features that Wordpress provides to manage your blog through your smart phone. The great thing about Wordpress is that it is developed by volunteers who keep creating plugins and improvements to the blog software. Below you can find some of its greatest additions yet.

There is an application available for the iPhone and iPad, which provide several functions that, enable creating posts with multiple kinds of information easily. Some of the features provided include location mapping, which allows you to add to your post where you are posting from. There is also the adding Photos feature, which allows you to select as many photos as you would like to add to your blog post from the ones available on your phone, and Wordpress will automatically add the images to your blog post. Another feature is how easy it is to add comments to posts, to keep in touch with your readers, through an interface provided that is easy to moderate and use.

A new feature that was introduce early this month, is the post by voice option, which allows you to publish audio on your blog by following simple steps. All you need to do is enable the post by voice option on your blog, which is located under the dashboard section of your blog and select to enable the feature. Wordpress will provide you with a phone number you can call and generate a secret code that is unique to your blog, which allows you to call in and follow the instructions to create your voice post.

Due to real time search results provided by search engines, it is good to keep your blog as up to date as possible to allow a better search result for your site and blog. Sometimes it’s hard to keep updating your blog, but thanks to technology, this is becoming easier to accomplish. I hope to see this application will become available soon for other phones. 

Google and the other search engines love blogs. Blogs give the engines lots of fresh content which get indexed much faster than webpages. But the trick is you need to keep your blog postings keyword rich and written on a consistent basis.

When you post a blog entry it is extremely important to choose a keyword that your want your blog post to get ranked for and then include that keyword in your title. Also, try to use that keyword in the first sentence of the posts and within the first 25 words. The closer to the start of the posting the better. Use the keyword in the blog post a number of times, but don’t exceed more than a 4% keyword density. Definitely don’t keyword stuff and only use it in a natural manner.

Use your keyword as anchor text for a link 3 to 4 times within the blog post and make sure you bold the link. Use the keyword in the URL of that post.  For example, http://domain.com/keyword. You can easily do this in many blogging software applications such as Wordpress and Blogger.

Note, when using Blogger, you cannot change your URL once you have published the post.  Blogger chooses the first few sentences from the title of the post to include in the URL.  To confirm getting your keyword into your URL, publish your post with only the keyword in your title.  Afterwards you can always go back and change the title again, but make sure it still contains that keyword.

Remember, even though blog posts have great potential for search traffic, it doesn’t happen overnight.  Constant attention to creating quality posts is key.
