Search Engine Optimization - Maximum - 10-04-2015
After doing some research and performing multiple audits on sinister.li I have seen some OnPage SEO let-downs and the web stats are also declining.
#1: Add a "robots.txt"
It should contain this:
Code:
User-Agent: *
Disallow: /captcha.php
Disallow: /editpost.php
Disallow: /misc.php
Disallow: /modcp.php
Disallow: /moderation.php
Disallow: /newreply.php
Disallow: /newthread.php
Disallow: /online.php
Disallow: /printthread.php
Disallow: /private.php
Disallow: /ratethread.php
Disallow: /report.php
Disallow: /reputation.php
Disallow: /search.php
Disallow: /sendthread.php
Disallow: /task.php
Disallow: /usercp.php
Disallow: /calendar.php
Allow: /#2: Add Canonical URL Tag
It should be placed in the "headerinclude" template
Code:
<link rel="canonical" href="https://www.sinister.ly/" />#3: Add Viewport Meta Tag
This will also go within the "headerinclude" template
Code:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=1300" />#4: Add Tweet, Share, and Google+ Button (Optional, but recommended.)
#5: Claim your site on Google, Alexa, and Bing/MSN
#6: Set preferred domain via Google (once you claimed it...) and then submit a sitemap.
#7: Share the site on more social platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.
