Optimize your posts in SERPs
Most bloggers are obsessed with ranking in Google , but many don't realize that how your post appears in Google's search engine results pages ( SERPs ) can also make a big difference.
Overall, there are two things you should be concerned about:
Name: You might want to change this to make it more relevant to people who use Google to search for information.
Description: You should always write a meta description for your posts to give people a clear idea of what they can expect if they click.
Customizing your title and description is easy with the Yoast SEO plugin . Just make changes to the meta field on the Post screen:
That's it - Google will pick up the information and use it in their SERPs, and hopefully a more attractive and clickable snippet will help drive more traffic to your site.
Add bread crumbs
Breadcrumb navigation is great for usability—it gives your site visitors an idea of where they are in relation to your site’s structure and allows them to navigate your site easily. But there’s a secondary benefit to breadcrumbs: they add another dimension to your site’s appearance in the SERPs.
Breadcrumbs on the site…
…leads to breadcrumbs in Google.
As you can see, breadcrumbs enabled on your site also show up in the SERPs. This gives search engines more information about your site before they even land on it, which can’t be a bad thing. Enabling breadcrumbs on your site is relatively simple and uses the WordPress SEO by Yoast plugin. You can learn how to add breadcrumbs to your WordPress site with this step-by-step guide.
Split Testing Headlines to Increase Traffic
If you’ve been blogging for any length of time, you know the importance of titles. The same post can be a total flop or go viral based on its title alone. With this in mind, one of the most effective ways to increase your site’s traffic is to split test your titles. This is easy to do with the Title Split Testing for WordPress plugin. It allows you to create two or more titles for each post and/or page you write, then randomly present them to visitors and measure the number of clicks. After a certain number of clicks, you can determine which title is the most successful and end the split test. This provides immediate benefits, but even better, if you pay attention to trends (i.e. what types of titles perform best), you can create better titles for your readers in the future.

Interconnection of your pages
In my opinion, there are few things more important for increasing blog engagement than the links between your posts (aka line spacing). Many visitors to your site won’t initially see the navigation, and the only way to get them to explore your site further is to include links to related posts directly within your content. So, when creating your blog posts, I recommend including as many relevant links to related posts as possible. However, this isn’t always easy to do with WordPress’s default search function (which leaves a lot to be desired). That’s why I really like the Better Internal Link Search plugin . While WordPress’ default search function will search literally anywhere in all of your posts and pages for your chosen keyword and return the results in chronological order, Better Internal Link Search will only look at the titles of your posts and pages.
