WordPress 2.8.4 Security Release

Another day, another vulnerability with WordPress.  Make sure you apply the latest patch, because according to the WordPress blog, the latest vulnerability permits a situation where a specially crafted URL could be requested that would allow an attacker to bypass a security check to verify a user requested a password reset. As a result, the first account without a key in the database (usually the admin account) would have its password reset and a new password would be emailed to the account owner. This doesn’t allow remote access, but it is very annoying.

Link Building with RSS Feeds

Just found out about a cool Wordpress plugin that takes advantage of blog and RSS blog scrapers to build links to your site.  The plugin you’ll want to snag is RSS Footer plugin from the great Joost de Valk. (If you don’t have atleast one plugin from Joost then you are missing the boat with Wordpress SEO).

Our of the box the plugin works great, but Graywolf states that you need to do some tweaking to it to take advantage of the link building posibilities of your RSS feed.  With it you can build links to other sections of your blog, or another website for that matter.  Michael used this approach to get top-ranking for the terms [seo blog] and [seo consultant].  I’m personally going to target the phrase [sexiest man alive].  Wish me luck :)

Go ahead and read his great Wordpress SEO: How to Use RSS and Scrapers to Build Links article and start having fun.

Adding Post Titles to Your Title Tags

Improve your SEO score by incorporating blog post titles into your <TITLE> tag of your Wordpress blog.  How is that for a long sentence?

Log into Wordpress and edit your theme…look for header.php and change your title code to the following:

<title><?php if(is_home()) { echo bloginfo('name'); echo ' | '; echo bloginfo('description'); } else { echo single_cat_title("", false);echo wp_title(' | ', false, right); echo bloginfo('name'); } ?></title>

This will, for each post, automatically plop your post name into your TITLE tag, helping with SEO relevancy.
