Without it, you really won't be targeting those keywords! And that's what we're trying to do, right?

Essential WordPress settings:
General Settings:

• Fill in site name and tagline
• Set your preferred URL (i.e., www or non-www; don't forget to set this in Google Webmaster Tools, too !)
• Permalinks: "Post Name."

Post or Page?

• post for all articles
• Pages for stuff that will go in menus

Blog view or static page on the homepage? Well, there are pros and cons to each.

Blog view:

• Much more natural
• user friendly
• Better user experience
• But..you can't target keywords with your homepage

Static Page:
Allows you to target a keyword with the most relevant page of your site
But isn't very natural, and could hurt you in a manual review, especially if you have affiliate links

Nowadays, all of my sites use a big view on the homepage. It's just more natural and provide a better user experience, which is important because we're building the real business.

Plugins we use:

• WordPress SEO by Yoast or All-in-One SEO (basic SEO setting)
• Cookies for Comments (free alternative to Akismet/Comment spam) Google Analytics by Yoast (GA integration) W3 total cache (image compression/site speed)
• Revision Control (deletes extraneous revision files/site speed)
• Quick AdSense (easy, site-wide AdSense or other ad placement)
• All 404 redirect to homepage (404 control)
• Backup by BlogVault (paid, option) Thrive Content Builder (paid, optional)
• Thrive Leads (paid, voluntary)

On-Page SEO Best Practices

• 1000-10000 words (most if our articles are 1500-3000 words)
• Main keywords in the title and H1 tags. Secondary LSI keywords sprinkled throughout
• Main keyword in at least one alt tag. Keyword density: less than 1%
• Secondary LSI keywords in other alt tags
• 3-5 outbound links to highly relevant authority sites (e.g. Wikipedia)
• 5-10 internal links to other relevant pages -Dofollow

What about Affiliate links?

• No more than 1 per 100 words 
• Do not cloak ( against Google's TOS)
• But you can and should use redirect with plugins like PrettyLink or ThirstyAffiliates 
• Always no-follow

Other important on-page factors:
How to increase time-on-page:

• Good formatting (more on this in a second)
• Rich media (namely videos)
• Long, detailed content that is still readable
• Active tone and voice All links open in new windows (even internal)

How to increase scroll depth:

"Teases" (e.g., "more on this in a second"; "more below")
Click-to-scroll buttons
