To serve high-traffic web sites, you will have to contend with the demand that high traffic puts on your server’s internal resources. Be sure that the general demand on your server is met by sufficient processor power and memory resources.

There can be more dependencies than what follows for publishing your WordPress site, however these are the ones that WordPress requires by default.

Have you wondered whether WordPress can handle high-volume traffic? Think of creating a high-traffic site or generating volumes of writing? Think that something you write might get enough attention to get “slashdotted” or dugg by digg, or some other high-traffic-generating site. Wonder if WordPress can handle the sheer volume of traffic or fail. Can WordPress handle all these situations?

The simple answer is “Yes,” but this is a conditional yes. There is a lot you need to consider and understand before you decide on WordPress as your publishing platform, and if you expect high traffic volumes. Running WordPress on basic shared hosting will not be sufficient for truly high-traffic sites.

Before selecting WordPress for your high-traffic site, you will need to check the following to ensure your site is ready for the anticipated traffic: The site server and it’s software, upon which WordPress is dependent, needs to be sufficient for the traffic you anticipate and expect.

Title: SEO starts with the title of the post. You main keyword needs to be incorporated into your posts title to have the most effect. A great tool already part of WordPress is the slug. You will find the slug in the right hand side column of your WordPress editor (where you write your blog posts.) By using your keyword in your slug, it will read better for SEO purposes but nevertheless you won’t loose your nice post title.

Just take a peek at this posts title and then take a look at the actual URL of this posts. The end behind the blogs URL (seo-optimization) is the actual post slug I chose to use.

Blog Post: The next part of your SEO optimized blog post is the actual blog post. You will need to use your keyword in the very first sentence of the post and either use the bold, italic, or underline feature ( please note that in the default WordPress editor you can only underline whilst going to the code view and then place the <u>keyword</u> tags around your keyword like this. I’ve used this example throughout the whole blog posts here to give you a better idea on what I mean.

Note: Please be careful on not to overdo this otherwise the search engine bots will mark you as a spam blog and instead of ranking well, you will be buried.

Your first paragraph also needs to contain your keyword in the last sentence. Ideally you will use the keyword twice or three times in the first paragraph, depending on length.

Throughout your posts sprinkle your keyword further. It is very important, that the very last paragraph also contains your keyword since the search engine bots often spider the beginning and the last bit of every blog post.

Tags: Tags are also an often overlooked part of the whole SEO optimization process. Please USE them at all times if you try for SEO. It helps to use your main keyword as a tag first and then some variations. Ideally you want around 5-10 tags.

Hyperlinks: If your posts contains hyperlinks to other pages in your blog, or to affiliate programs that are related to the topic, then use the keyword to hyperlink to them. It will carry more weight for SEO optimization purposes.

Images: Images need to be tagged with the keyword to have the highest possible effect for SEO. You should use images in your blog posts since a picture often speaks a thousand words and by tagging it the right way it will give you SE juice.

All in One SEO Pack Plugin: An absolute must to have, if you are working at SEO optimization. You can download this Plugin on the developers website and read all about why you need this.

The default structure for your permalinks is: http://www.yourblog.com/?p=123

For SEO purposes, it should be like this: http://www.yourblog.com/your-post-title/

The main reason for this is? You want your keywords in your URL to be bold when someone is deciding which link to click in Google search results.

To change this in Wordpress admin, go to Options > Permalinks, then select Custom and enter
/%postname%/ in the text field.

Make sure your blog name is wrapped in the <H1> html tag.

Check your header.php (Presentation > Theme Editor) and make sure your code looks something like this: <h1 class=”blogtitle”><?php bloginfo(’name’); ?></h1>.

Don’t forget to use keywords in your blog name! If you want to rank for SEO News (like i do :D), then put SEO News somewhere in your blog name title.

Your PAGE title should include your keywords in order to be optimized for search engines. Your POST title should be catchy and written for your visitors. How do you accomplish this in Wordpress?

Get the SEO Title Tag Wordpress plugin. It allows you to have separate titles for your posts and your pages.

Advanced Tip: You’ll also want to check your post template (single.php) and make sure your post titles are using H2 tags and are linking to your Permalink URL.

This will give your post titles more prominence in the search engines. An example code:

<h2 class=’post-title’><a href=”<?php echo get_permalink() ?>” title=”Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>

2. Do Your E-mail Addresses Work? - I recently got an e-mail from a friend who told me, “Sorry I didn’t get back to you I just figured out I had major problems with my e-mail account”. Send yourself a dummy message to make sure you don’t fall into the same boat.

3. Clean up Your Sidebars - This ‘bit of advice would be mainly for blogs. I have seen some people become really addicted to having sidebar widgets and gadgets. If you have more than five per sidebar, might be time to ditch some or at least make them look pretty again.

4. Review your Terms of Service - Make sure your terms of service and acceptable use policy are up to date and include everything you wish to include there. You may have made some changes to your web site and business since the last time you reviewed it so check it out now to make sure all your bases are still covered.

9. How Out of Date is Your “About Us” Section? - Checking out my own about us page on one of my other web sites I see I pretty much haven’t updated it since the launch of the site. Always good to keep this up to date because well, this is how people lean more about you and what you do.

10. Spellcheck Your Web Site Content - How many grammar errors can you find on your web site? If you don’t want to read through everything you have posted - you might try just going through a few of the most popular ones and making sure they are correct. Bad spelling really peeves some people, so best not to get on anybody’s bad side.

1: Too Few Databases

All blogging software, all forum software, and darn near every cool Web application you can think of requires a database in order to function. Unfortunately, most shared server packages only offer between 1 and 5 databases, thereby limiting your ability to expand with new sites or to experiment with new ideas.

In my opinion, this is completely unacceptable. If I want to see if I can tie 10 databases into one WordPress installation, then by god, I ought to be able to do that! Sadly, this would be an impossible task with just about every shared server package I’ve ever seen.

Because of this limitation, I have resorted to purchasing more expensive plans that offer more flexibility. Remember my first inadequate server that I told you about earlier? After that terrible experience, I opted for a more expensive server that cost me roughly $550 up front, and the primary reason why I went with the more expensive unit was because I could have unlimited databases.

2: Too Few Domains Allowed

Probably in an attempt to curb spammers, Web hosting companies usually limit the number of domains you can have on a shared server. Oftentimes, the limit is between 1 and 5 domains, but just like with the databases, this really affects your flexibility over time.

Want to start that new site you’ve been thinking of lately? Too bad, you’ll have to buy new hosting because you’ve already maxed out your domains.

Oh, and here’s another gem from the crazy world of Web hosting… I’ve seen shared server accounts before that would let you have 5 domains but only 1 database. If every site on the planet requires a database to run, how the hell can you run 5 domains with only one database?

Sanity? Anyone?

The bottom line—and the thing you really need to know here—is that good shared server plans will offer you at least 20 domains, and even better ones will let you add as many as you like (usually up to 999).

3: Crappy Developer Support

So, that new version of WordPress you want to run requires MySQL 4.0 or higher in order to work properly? What a shame, because your junky shared server only runs MySQL 3.23 and hasn’t been updated since 2005.

Of the three cardinal sins I’ve listed here, this one is probably the easiest to avoid. However, developer support is the ultimate litmus test for any Web host, and you can bet your bottom dollar that if the company you’re looking at doesn’t consider developers a priority (we’re a raucous, complaining bunch), then they damn sure won’t consider you a priority.

No matter what hosting package you’re looking at, make absolutely certain that you see support for the following developer tools:

* PHP
* MySQL
* Ruby on Rails
* Python
* CGI
* .htaccess
* cron jobs

f your primary key phrase is “business blogging” make sure that the word business, or blogging, or both, appear in your blog headers (the H1 or H2 tags) as well as the title of each of your posts.

Most blogging software will take the keywords in your post title and put them into the file name of the permalink posts it creates.

For example, if you have a blog on Blogger and title your post “Search Engine Optimization For Blogs”, Blogger will automatically create a page with your post and name the file “search-engine-optimization-for-blogs.html” or something similar.

With other server-side software like Wordpress and Movable Type, you may require the mod_rewrite command to save the title of your entries as a permalink.
