I like to put the images in most of my blog post because I believe that with photo, it can make the post look more interesting so that can help to reader to increase the ability to understand the content better.

But one of the worst thing is that the search engine spider can’t see the image, they only understand the word. So in order to let the search engine spider to see our images is only via the images tag attributes such as the ALT and Title.

SEO Friendly Images can help you to optimize your images and automatically updates all images with proper ALT and TITLE attributes. If your images do not have ALT and TITLE already set, SEO Friendly Images will add them according the options you set. Additionally this makes the post W3C/xHTML valid as well.

One of the way that to relate the reader intested topic within your blog is using the Related Posts plugin.

For related posts features, I try with “wordpress related post” before. It just a very simple and light plugin but you have not much control over it, it is more then enough for the wordpress beginner. You can set the Related post title, or no related post found title, the number of related post to display and some simple setting.

After some time of testing, I change to another plugin call “Yet Another Related Posts Plugin“. It provide more functionality and you have more control over it. You may exclude the category, tags, and also control how you want the related post detail to by display in your blog post.

One of the way for your reader to contact you personally is via the Contact form. This can make bring you as the owner of the blog and your reader become more closer.

The closer you and your reader are, the higher percentage they will return back to read your blog again and also introduce to their friend. So indirectly this will bring more traffic to your site.

How to create the Contact Form?

1. Install the actual contact form plugin, I’m using cForms as it provide extremely flexible to customize the form. But it maybe a little bit conplex
2. Add the new page and name it as you like, I will named it as “Contact”
3. You will find the small cForm icon on the top of the text editor,just click on it and select the form that you had customize it in the cForms control panel

You may also try out some other contact form such as Enhanced WordPress Contact Form, and Contact Form 7.
