Ok well for stats I would suggest looking into Google Analytics for the rest I would look at the many social plugins that will add facebook and twitter etc.
Hi,
Thanks for that.
Would my blog not get more hits if it was in the social arena of WordPress or do I need to keep linking it into social media.
On my old wordpress site that was not premium I got many people liking and sharing it via WordPress and now I get none.
I appreciate your help with this too.
1) Redgister the website with Google and Bing
2) Sign up to both Google and Bing web master tools
3) Content is king if you write good content people will come to your blog
4) There are many free themes on WP you can find one that suits you
5) Use social media such as twitter and facebook, there are some great plugins that will do this, you need to link to your account AND have a share button
6) Get some analytics tracking ie google analytics
7) Get an XML sitemap plugin and add the URL to your web master tools
8) Get some sort of blog security plugin ie. “Better WP Security” plugin
9) So to Settings > Permalinks and set this up
10) Research backlinks
Also try running your website URL through here http://nibbler.silktide.com/ it will give you a perspective of how social you need to be.
If you can use your old URL do so as this will give you a boost
Thanks for that Phillbooth.
I have done most of what you said but cannot find out how to place:
Upload the file to http://marklittler.com/BingSiteAuth.xml
I have access to the site via FTP but do not know what folder to put it in.
You would put that file in the top level of your WP install the same place as index.php you would also have the option to add a meta tag for bing if you cannot do that
