Doing SEO for site that publishes articles everyday?

[waltergah]

Hi, I was wondering on the best way to do SEO for a site that publishes articles daily. In other words, I add a new url to my site daily.

How should I ensure that the new pages are optimized?

Do I need to submit each new site to search engines?

Any tips?

No, you do not need to submit anything anywhere. If some website somewhere links to your website, Google will find it and index it. I've heard that you can get URLs indexed very quickly if you +1 them on Google+ but I haven't tried that.

I'm assuming your site uses a Content Management System like Wordpress, Joomla!, something like that? If so, get one of the many SEO plugins. This will allow you to easily optimize your title tags and meta-descriptions while you're publishing the article.

Also, make sure your CMS is set up to make nice-looking URLs like http://www.mysite.com/article-about-cool-thing.html, not http://www.mysite.com/page123.html. Most CMSes will automatically generate a decent URL based on your title, but you may want to tweak it if it's absurdly long.

No, you don't need to submit each one to the search engines but, as CMC-SD mentioned, if you plus one them on Google plus they will get indexed faster.

I also agree with his advice on title tags and meta descriptions as well as the url title. Other things to do are to make sure that the content is grammatically correct and that your keywords don't show up too often. If a keyword appears as more than 4 or 5% of the text the search engines don't like it.

Other than that, use your social media networks to get the links out there and keep up the good work!
