3. Change your Title Tags of your Wordpress Theme.
The default wordpress title tags on header.php generally show like this:
<title><?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo(’name’); }</title>.
Then you can change it to:
<title><?php if (is_home () ) { bloginfo(’name’); } elseif ( is_category() ) { single_cat_title(); echo ” - “; bloginfo(’name’); }
elseif (is_single() || is_page() ) { single_post_title(); } elseif (is_search() ) { bloginfo(’name’); echo ” search results: “;
echo wp_specialchars($s); } else { wp_title(”,true); } ?></title>
Just activate it and then you can fill the form with all data information of your blog such as blog title, description, keyword, etc. Or you can find other plugins related via Google Search.
