Make SEO magic with this great plugin
As a relative newbie to the blogosphere my skills level is moderate at best. So imagine my delight at coming across Copy Compass. With the help of this truly excellent WordPress plugin, my skills at SEO or Search Engine Optimisation are elevated to expert level, literally all at the click of a button. If this sounds too good to be true, read on!
Anyone that’s serious about blogging will know that SEO is absolutely critical to the success of any blog. Making your content “search engine friendly” is an important step to getting those page rankings up and increasing the traffic to your site. Trouble is, SEO is pretty complicated stuff. It requires a steep learning curve to master the finer points of Meta data, keyword density and reading-ease-of-content, just three of the dozen or so aspects that you need to have a handle on. Enter Copy Compass, a Content Analysis tool for WordPress that will do the SEO heavy lifting for you at the click of a button.
The proof of the pudding is in the eating, so I thought it might be useful to summarise my experience with this tool for you. That will help you to evaluate and appreciate it’s potential usefulness for your own situation.
After downloading and installing the Copy Compass plugin, a painless experience, my first candidate for SEO content analysis was the last post on my blog. That’s the one just before this post. Using this plugin to analise your post is absolutely straight forward. Login to your WordPress application, open the post for editing and click a button. That’s it. Next you get an SEO score with a detailed analysis of all the important SEO metrics, plus comprehensive instructions on how to improve your score. To my absolute amazement, after making the adjustments and tweaks suggested by Copy Compass, my score for this post went from 40.9% to 82.3%. That’s a more than 100% improvement! The adjustments took me less than two minutes to do. Really impressive!
With a big smile on my face, I worked through the rest of the posts on my blog. Here are the results:

I’m completely green when it comes to blogging but I’m putting in the time to do the research. What you’ve said above is great because of course any blogger wants their posts to be read as often as possible but I’m not using wordpress. Any plugin tips for blogger?
Sorry, I do know about Blogger but I’m not too familiar with it.
However, since you are asking for advice, consider changing to WordPress
WP is the largest blogging platform in the world with 300M plus users for a reason. It’s excellent for newbies and pro’s alike. There is a well supported forum online where you can get all the help you might need and of course it’s free. There are also thousands of sites dedicated to giving advice and tips on WordPress. You will find an amazing wealth of themes and plugins to do just about anything you want to do. You’ll be amazed how easy it is to get started. You could be online in literally 5 minutes. Just go here http://wordpress.com/. Good luck!
BTW, I had a quick look at your site (I don’t use lipstick) and it is stunning!
