Technical SEO: Get More Traffic Fixing These Mistakes.
Sometimes people ask me We go to Google and search for our website We can't see it in the results why is that? Or maybe your website is not secured by SSL Although we have installed SSL In this video, we are going to go through a checklist for free technical SEO optimizations To ensure your website is indexed by Google And making sure that everything is correct to rank on top of Google Get organic visits from Google stay tuned Hello friends, and welcome to the part seven of my new series Create an online business with me from scratch And reach two thousand dollars a month Without wasting time let's start with the first step in our free SEO technical checklist If you remember when we created our website, we installed SSL But we can see here My website embounce.com is not secure So what's the problem? Many people contacted me on Telegram, our group and in the forum They ask me about this problem The idea is simple When you install SSL, you will have the HTTPS version of the website And the http version of the site you can see here https then enter and the site is secured This is http So if you want to access this website, the safe version You have to add https But of course we won't do it manually We have to make it automatic from http to https How do you do this? Just go back to your WordPress dashboard Then plug-ins Add a new plugin And you will install an SSL plugin It's called Really Simple SSL Here it is with five million active installs Five star review One of the best SSL management plugins for your website, Install it's raining outside Anyway, activate SSL Now you can see that 301 .
Redirect is enabled Now if we come back here and update this site It will automatically redirect to the SSL version, the version is secure So this is the first step to fix SSL problem Let's move on to step two of our checklist Own one version of your website domain What do you mean? If you go here to your website we can see that we have embounce.com What if we go to www.embounce.com What will happen? These are two versions of the domain Enter, you will see in my case automatically directed to this version here without www So you have to choose between a www version or a non-www version You need to choose only one version of the domain URL Why ? Simply if you have two copies It will index each page twice in Google with different versions This will make you compete with yourself So you have two pages and you are trying to rank on Google and you are competing between them So you have to make sure that each page has only one copy In our case, if you go here to admin domain In GoDaddy, you'll see we have a CNAME called WWW that redirects to @ The @ sign means the name of the site itself So this is the first step If you don't have this on your domain provider make sure you point the WWW to the main domain Well, @ means the same as the domain name Then in the control panel, in the WordPress dashboard Make sure to go to General Settings and set your copy here You can see we've done this before, but only now, because it's so important Here you have to choose between WWW or no WWW and save your settings Well, this is the second step Make sure you have one copy of your domain URL Choose between WWW or no WWW It's up to you Step Three: Set Up Permalink We've done this before too but I'm repeating it because it's also very important If you come back to my website here we have published this article in Part VI If you open it you will see that this is our domain with the name of the post How did we do that, how did we show the name instead of the ID Simply through the permalink settings here Go to Settings, then Permalink Go here and select the name of the post and then save changes This third step is to create permalinks The fourth step Connect your website with Google Analytics What is Google Analytics? It is simply a free service from Google that helps you keep track of your visitors Sessions, bounce rates, user retention, and users by countries You can keep track of top pages and a lot of things Later we will have a full course on Google Analytics because it is very important It will help you a lot to increase visitors, increase your sales and do a lot of things, as you will see later But for now in this checklist you will be linking our website to Google Analytics So that we can track our users The idea is very simple In the fifth part, we installed a plugin called Monster Insights If you remember, if you follow Anyway if you haven't already, go to Additional Accessories Add a new plugin in your control panel And go here and search for Monster Insights And you can see that this is a component, and it will help you easily connect Google Analytics to your site We have three million active installs It's great just install and activate it Then go here to Insights able You can see this plugin called Insights Then you can run the setup wizard here to connect to your website Let's click on this Loading settings, it will tell you what your website is I will now go with a blog, save and follow Connect Monster Insights We'll be using the free version now I'll link it to my Google account By the way, Google Analytics is a Google service, so you will need a Gmail account I think it's fairly easy I don't want to waste time with this now So just link your account and allow it Now it will tell you to connect to your website But we didn't build our website in Google Analytics So before connecting you should connect your website within Google Analytics It's very easy, go here to the admin section Then go and create the property Create the property, then type the property name, I will type Embounce Select your reporting timezone, and your currency Then click Next The size of your business I will say now from one to ten, computer department How do you intend to use your analytics?
