Open an FTP client on your computer, and connect to your sites web hosting server throughyour FTP account. If you do not have an FTP client, you can go to http://www.download.comand search for FTP client. I personally recommend a free FTP client called FileZilla. Youcan also refer to your web hosting providers help or support section for more information onhow to connect through FTP to the web server. 2. From your FTP client, navigate to your Wordpress directory, and then go to thewp-content/plugins directory.5 6. 3. Upload the easywpseo directory (with the Easy WP SEO files) to the wp-content/plugins directory.1.5.2 Upload Easy WP SEO to Your Wordpress Site Without FTP1.

Automatically decorate your primary keywords with bold, italic, or underline styling; Insert your primary keywords into the ALT attribute of images; Add rel="nofollow" and target=_blank attributes to external links.2.1.1 Decoration TypeThe Decoration Type setting determines how Easy WP SEO automatically decorates your content.Easy WP SEO provides you with three decoration type options: (a) Turned OffThis is the default setting. When you select this option, it turns off the automaticdecoration feature in Easy WP SEO. (b) Client-SideThe client-side option automatically decorates your content on-the-fly when someonevisits a post or page on your Wordpress site.Pros: Decorates your content without the need to permanently change your post and pagetitle or content. 9 10. Cons: Can slow your sites load time because the plugin has to decorate the content in thebackground before Wordpress displays the post or page. (c) Admin-SideThe admin-side option automatically decorates your content when you publish or edit yourpost or page (and when you save a draft).Pros: Permanently decorates your content. Even if you decide to uninstall Easy WP SEO,your content remains decorated for the search engines.Cons: You have to manually remove the decorations through the Wordpress Dashboard ifyou change your keyword or decide to remove automatic decorations.2.1.2 Keyword DecorationsThe Keyword Decorations setting allows you to automatically decorate your primary keywords withbold, italic, and underline styling. Also, it allows you to specify which HTML tags you want to useto decorate your content. 10 11.

Easy WP SEO only inserts your keywordif an image does NOT already have an ALT attribute.Here is an example of what your HTML code looks like after Easy WP SEO inserts your primarykeyword into the ALT attribute of an image: 11 12. 2.1.4 REL=No Follow AttributeSelect the checkbox next to No Follow to automatically insert rel=no follow into all external linksin your post or page content.2.1.5 REL=No Follow White List URLsEnter URLs, separated by a new line (press the Enter key after each URL), into the text area next toNo Follow (White List URLs) so Easy WP SEO does not add rel=no follow to these external links.2.1.6 REL=No Follow White List URLsSelect the checkbox next to Open External Links In New Browser Window to automatically addtarget=_blank to external links (so external URLs open in a new browser window).2.2 Miscellaneous Settings2.2.1 Keyword DensityEasy WP SEO lets you set several factors concerning your contents keyword density.12 13.

The first formula (Total Keywords / Total Words * 100) does not take into account the number of words in a keyword phrase, but is used by most other plugins to calculate keyword density.

Then it displays an on-page SEO score that reveals how well your content is optimized for the search engines.4.2 Keyword DensityThe keyword density score shows you the percentageof how many times your keyword or phrase appears inthe post or page content in comparison to the totalnumber of words. So, for example, if your post or pagehas 500 total words and your keyword appears 25 times,then your keyword density score is 5.00%.To learn more about keyword density:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyword_densityEasy WP SEO allows you to choose between two keyword density formulas: 1. (Total Keywords / Total Words) * 100 This is the most common formula used in other plugins (and Easy WP SEO now uses this formula by default). 2. (Total Keywords / (Total Words / Total Words in Keyword Phrase)) * 100 This keyword density formula is more accurate for keyword phrases because it takes into account how many words are in the phrase. To my knowledge, Easy WP SEO is the only Wordpress plugin (out of its competitors) that includes this keyword density formula.Go to Section 2.2.1 of the user guide to learn how to configure the Keyword Density Formula setting. 24 25. IMPORTANT: Some people have thought their keyword density scores for long-tail keyword phraseswere too high in Easy WP SEO compared to other plugins. But these other plugins rely on Formula #1,and do not take into account the total number of words in the keyword phrase. Therefore, the keyworddensity score in Easy WP SEO is actually more accurate (when Formula #2 is selected) because itDOES take into account the total number of words in the keyword phrase.4.3 SEO SuggestionsEasy WP SEO provides you with a detailed checklist of suggested SEO "tweaks". These changes toyour content can dramatically increase your search engine rankings, improve quality scores for GoogleAdwords, and bring you more FREE targeted traffic to your website. A green checkmark next to afactor means it appears in your content, and a red X means it does not appear in your content.4.3.1 Title Tag 1. Title contains keyword. This factor determines if your keyword appears within the Title tag (Keyword) of your post or page. 2. Title begins with keyword. This factor determines if the Title begins with the keyword (Keyword at the beginning). 3. Title contains at least 3 words. This factor determines if the Title contains at least three total words (First Second Third). 4. Title contains up to 66 characters. This factor determines if the Title contains a maximum of 66 characters.IMPORTANT: Some people wonder why they receive a red X for Title begins with keyword or Titlecontains up to 66 characters when their Title is only 55 characters (for example). What they do notunderstand is most plugins and themes add additional information to your Title.So, while you may think your title is like this...This is my test title to give you an example 25 26. The plugin or theme changes your title to the following...This is my test title to give you an example | The Name of Your SiteRemember, Easy WP SEO scores your content based on what a visitor to your site sees, not necessarilywhat you see in the Add New Post/Page or Edit Post/Page screens in the Wordpress Dashboard.4.3.2 URL 1.

Troubleshooting9.1 Why Do I Get Red Xs For Things That I Know are 100% Correct (e.g., Title, H1, Meta Tags)?Do you use HostGator as your web host? If so, they disable "GET Requests" by default. So, you needto contact them and ask them to "turn GET requests on" for your domain name. They will knowexactly what Im talking about. You can go to http://www.hostgator.com and click the "Live Chat"graphic for the fastest response.If you dont have HostGator, what happens when you type in a word like test or keyword as the primarykeyword? Enter the same word into the Title, Meta, and Heading tags. Do you get the same red Xswhen you update the post or page?If you still receive Xs in the suggestion area, even after you use a simple word like test or keyword,then your web host probably has "GET Requests" turned off for your account.
