What resources can you recommend for learning SEO?

Question

Search Engine Optimization

Everything I google is an unstructured pile of information, it's not clear where to start in the first place. I would like to know how to design and write articles on WordPress, what to change in the site template, what plugins to install. Naturally, the current data is for 2018.

Answer 1

1- how to design and write articles: a link to an article on Habré
2- what to change in the site template - ask a question on the forum (seocafe.info, searchengines, maultalk, webmasters), here you need an example site and what you want to get as a result
3- wp plugins I often use:
-yoast SEO
-Google XML Sitemaps
-JS & CSS Script Optimizer
-Perelink BiNET Pro
-WP Super Cache
-wp-mfc-linkator
-WP-PostRatings
-WP-Polls
-Cyr to Lat enhanced
-AMP google
-Yandex.Turbo
-FancyBox for WordPress

Answer 2

With wordpress, you don’t really need anything, that’s how it works. If, of course, you want to do everything very cleanly, you will have to do a lot of things. However, it is sufficient to use the All-in-seo-pack plugin . There, most of the SEO stuff is used. If you want to do everything very cleanly, look at wp-kama.ru - there are programming tricks and all sorts of plug-ins, and optimization, and tips, and answers to questions. In general, a very authoritative resource. I myself use it to work on my sites, for example, without plugins, disable the output of any garbage in the header, disable emoji, XML-RPC , etc.
