What are some of the best Word Press themes for SEO?
-
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best wordpress themes to use?
Here is one that has been recommended to me before:
-
Just a word of caution :
When you have a custom theme / plugin .. please make sure thing work as its expected because some plugins / themes wont play nice with each other .
-
You could take a look at WooThemes' large list of quality WordPress themes, as well as the ever-popular Thesis theme.
Find WooThemes demos here, some are even free: http://www.woothemes.com/themes/
Find Thesis here (not free): http://diythemes.com/

We use studiopress themes and themeforest for specialty themes. Studiopress provides us the best value for clients as we got 50 themes fir $350...themeforest has been the best for specialty themes.....
Hope this helps.

And make sure to have some sort of security plugin. -
Nathan, I'd say that WordPress in general is a good platform for SEO, regardless of which theme you use.
I use several of Brian Gardener's StudioPress themes which work very well for making an attractive site, but I'd say it is the content you produce and what you do with it that matters more than the theme. I've used Brian's themes for many years and always been happy with them.
We use the Platinum SEO WordPress plugin which make it easy to get things working nicely and have spent time with generally getting things to be Google friendly.
I'd say your content is still the main thing though (followed by outreach to the community around your clients and business) - if that is good, everything else seems to fall into place.

I have a customer who is currently a local business but with aspirations of franchising and becoming a national concern, historically I have had quite a lot of success in the Local space, but this will be the first national account so I am looking for any advice on SEO best practice for national businesses.

SEO Consulting for HUGE Website. How Big Is TOO Big Of A Change?
SEO Consulting for a HUGE Website. Their h1 tags have instagram/twitter, h2 have their menu/what's trending and h3 is the article title. Here's what I want to do... MY MAIN QUESTION: This site has tens of thousands of pages, all articles beyond the few dozen category/tag pages they have. If I change the structure to the following, will it be too much of a system shock to Google? Will this actually HURT them? Currently on the site: - h1 tags point to Twitter/Instagram sidebar widgets

h2 tags point to the menu/what’s trending section (which is the same on every page)
h3 points to the Title of the Article I want to change it to this: - h1 tags should delineate the article's name. That's all they should really be used for.
h2-4 should be reserved for article subheadings to be used by the editorial staff. EDIT: 30% of their >11 million monthly uniques come from search. I don't want to eff with that, but the way that NONE of their pages have optimized words, they have no sitemap, webmaster tools and are still doing this well makes me think that even putting in minimal changes to tidy things up will help them bring it to 70% organic search.0 -

The Best Wordpress Templates and The Best SEO Plugins??
Hey guys, I am a newbie and after so many painstaking hours of building my new site using the WIX platform, I just found out that WIX is not SEO friendly 😞 So referring to (copy n pasted) the old post below posted in by Big Bazza back in June 2011, does anyone agree or have any updated information they can assist me with so I can get my new site started ? Cheers 🙂 www.studiopress.com - excellent templates and support is first class! EDIT: These all support WP 3.0 and are SEO friendly too! (They have modified the SEO functionality) However, the framework also allows you to run Yoast Wordpress SEO - which is generally considered the best SEO plugin for WP. http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/

Do you have an SEO 'plugin' recommendation for SharePoint 2007?
I'm not a programmer and our 200+ person company isn't going to change their CMS just because I asked them nicely. Do you know of any SEO plugin I can use on SharePoint 2007? I just don't want to have to keep going into each of 110 websites time after time.
