5 Ways to Keep Your WordPress Site Safe

Did you know that more than 65 million active WordPress sites currently exist?

This makes WordPress one of the most popular website platforms in history.

It is interesting to see how far WordPress has come from its beginning as a blogging platform.

Now, WordPress is a content management system.

Many large enterprises and small businesses see WordPress as the best vehicle for getting their message and products online.

WordPress is flexible, it’s easy to use, and it makes it possible for you to create some fantastic websites.

One of the nice things about the team at WordPress is that they are always on the lookout for security issues.

When these security issues are identified, WordPress is quickly patched.

Of course, nefarious individuals are always trying to compromise WordPress sites.

Thankfully, there are some things that you can do to keep your WordPress site safe.

In this article, I will discuss five of them with you.

 

1 – Secure Your WordPress Administrator Account

When WordPress was first introduced, user administrative privileges were always called admin.

About three years ago, WordPress came out with an update that modified this.

Now, during the installation process, you have the option to select a username during installation.

Unfortunately, many people choose to stick with the default.

Couple that with the fact that millions of WordPress sites were created before the option of changing the admin account name was available and you have a recipe for disaster.

The only thing that prevents you from having your WordPress site breached is a strong password.

If you are creating a new WordPress site, change the default username.

Don’t use something that’s easy to figure out, like your name or the city you live in.

It’s better to use a combination of characters and letters in your username and password.

Once you’ve created your WordPress account, you can change your password to whatever you want.

However, the username you select at the outset is with you for the long haul.

2 – Turn off Your File Editor

WordPress lets administrators edit the theme or plug-in files via the dashboard.

If a nefarious individual can bypass the admin screen and gain access to your site, it is likely that this is what they will try to do.

However, you can take steps to prevent a would-be hacker from editing files using the WordPress dashboard.

All you have to do is go to your WP – config – PHP file and add the following line define(‘DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT’, true).

This way, when someone tries to modify the theme or the plug-in editor, they will see a warning that tells them that they lack sufficient permission to access the page.

If you are new to WordPress, you can access the WP – config.php file via your hosting account interface.

WPBeginners has a pretty thorough guide on how to do this plus a few more options.

3 – Use a Website Lockdown Feature and Ban Users

Using a lockdown feature is a great way to protect yourself from brute force attacks.

When someone repeatedly tries to access your WordPress site using the wrong passwords, the website gets locked down, and you are informed of unauthorized activity.

Another option along the same vein is to log idle users out of your sight.

If you have a user who leaves their WordPress site open on their screen, you could be facing a security threat.

Anyone can pass by and change the information on the website or alter the user account.

These individuals could obliterate your site.

If you ensure that your site logs people out after a set period, you minimize this risk.

This can also be done via a plugin.

There are plug-ins that you can use to lock down your website as well as log idle users out of your site.

These are simple steps that can produce long-term benefits.

Kinsta’s guide to WP security also covers this step and a few others in depth.

One of the most important considerations with all of these settings is the hosting company itself.

Managed WP hosting solutions offer much security out the box which saves users from having to configure a lot of these files.

While shared hosting dominates the market, it’s important to understand the security gaps that cheaper hosting options cause.

Studies show that over 41% of hacked sites are on cheaper hosts.

Managed hosting offers a proactive solution as opposed waiting to get hacked.

 

4 – Regularly Backup Your Files

Backing up your files protects you if your files are corrupted by unauthorized intruders.

If you regularly back up your files and store them in a separate location, you can then use the backup to restore any data that was lost, or that was corrupted.

Even if your backup is not 100 percent up to date, you know that you’re not going to lose the bulk of the information that you have stored for the operation of your website.

Of course, the higher the frequency with which you back up your files, the more up-to-date your site will be if you need to restore from said backup.

Backing up your site is one of those things that you might think isn’t important, but it’s extremely important.

Some large websites backup information every hour.

For most small organizations, that’s a little bit of overkill.

In addition to backing up every hour, you would also need to make sure that old backups were deleted so that you have enough space on your drive.

For most organizations, a monthly backup is sufficient.

Blogvault is an excellent option for site backups.

5 – Monitor Your Audit Logs

You need to know the type of activity that’s going on on your WordPress site.

You may have authors and contributors who are changing passwords.

However, there are other things that they should not have access to.

For example, an author should not be able to change the theme of your site nor should they be able to make changes to widgets.

This is something that is the domain of administration.

If you check your audit log regularly, you’re going to make sure that authors and contributors are not trying to change things on your site that they do not have the authorization to change.

Additionally, an audit log can help you to see if your contributors or writers are having trouble logging in or if they engage in activity that might be considered malicious.

Audit logs do no good if you do not take the time to review them.

It can be a little bit time-consuming, but when compared to the potential loss that could take place as a result of nefarious activity, the time is more than worth it.

These are just a few of the options that you have at your disposal for protecting your WordPress site.

We hope these security tips that you can use to keep your WordPress site secure.

Which WordPress Plugins & Themes Can Speed Up Your Website?

Do you keep getting page speed reports that show that your website could be faster? You and everyone else that owns a website. In analyzing Google’s mobile Pagespeed Insights scores for major publishers from across the web, we learned that the average mobile speed score was less than 24 out of 100.

What’s more, the majority of these sites were using WordPress. It begs the question, how do you make a WordPress website faster?

One of the biggest benefits of operating a WordPress site is accessible to the millions of plugins that leverage the collective knowledge of developers worldwide. So, which plugins are currently available to publishers that could help them with abysmal website speed? And, what themes and tools can be used to increase overall site speed scores? Read more:::

What we know about WordPress and site speed scores

WordPress websites are great for publishers because they are easy to set up, simple to manage, and provide access to a vast number of advanced features through plugins that allow webmasters to circumvent coding or learning how to integrate their site with external resources(Read more).

The modular design of WordPress also leaves it open to a number of potential challenges with site speed.

If you don’t have a strong networking or development background, combing through the complexity of what is slowing down a website can be daunting.

In WordPress, all of these elements can potentially have a dramatic impact on your website speed:

• The theme you select
• What plugins you use
• Hosting, use of a CDN, caching, and how you apply rules to your cache
• How you manage external CSS and JS code
• What external resources are called because of integrations with your site (social sharing tools, ads, newsletters)

Below, I’ll walk through some details of which plugins can speed-up your website, how to best configure them, how to better manage themes, and how Ezoic publishers can ensure they are leveraging the power of the Ezoic platform to make their sites faster as well. more info:::

Facebook Marketing

7 Ways to Use Facebook for Marketing

Facebook continues to be the reigning champ of social networking sites, as the #1 spot in which friends join and share online. Over just a meeting place for friends, Facebook has become a place for businesses to promote themselves during interaction with customers and self-promotion.

In this post, we’ll be looking at seven ways that you may use Facebook for promotion.

Whether you are a huge corporation or a small community biz, Facebook is a powerful advertising tool — it’s a fantastic space to keep customers informed, develop new recognition, and broaden your reach.

1. Making the Most of Your Facebook Business Page

A Facebook web page is an excellent free advertising tool for most businesses. These pages allow businesses identify themselves not just through listing product offerings and services, but also by sharing links, images, and posts on a customizable web page to provide a much better sense of a business’s personality and personality.
Your Facebook business page is a fantastic spot to develop your new identity and show your human side. Facebook is where you can loosen the tie somewhat — do not be afraid to be funny.
Finally, you should consider what your primary audience might like to see.
In addition to hilarious videos of dogs walking into miniature shoes, a shoe store specializing in footwear may also post a post about ways to measure your foot size correctly, what type of shoe inserts are best for different sore toes woes, etc. A nice mixture of comedy, educational resources, and posts about your store updates is best.

2. Facebook Advertising: Classic Ads

Facebook offers its own type of advertising using Facebook ads, which appear from the side columns of the Facebook site. These classic ads are known specifically as Marketplace Ads. They include a headline using copy, a picture, and also a click-through connection to a Facebook page, either a Facebook program or an outside website.
Implementing Facebook advertising to your Facebook advertising strategy is just one possible technique for increasing likes or forcing website clicks. Demographic targeting with Facebook user information on age, location, education, and interests.
Ad testing, where multiple Ad versions could be run simultaneously so as to compare ad designs and setup. Constructed ad performance measurement tools. 
Facebook doesn’t release information about their own ad CTRs, so it’s difficult to learn how successful Facebook ads are. Within our Facebook Ads vs Google Display Ads Infographic, we discovered that Facebook ads normally have a CTR of 0.051 percent, and an average CPC of $0.80; but a business’s Facebook advertising cost may vary considerably depending upon the targeting options set along with competition.
Using Facebook advertising to increase your own “Likes“ could be quite beneficial — when a user likes your webpage, they essentially become followers of your business webpage, and your posts will appear on their own Facebook news feed.
This results in more users interacting with you and your new, forming relationships which might wind up translating to conversions in the long run.

3. Hosting Facebook Contests

Running Facebook contests, sweepstakes, or promotions is another Facebook advertising strategy that could increase fans and brand awareness.
After running a Facebook contest, be aware that contests cannot be hosted via Facebook itself (which means that you can not ask for likes as entries, have people write answers in the comments, etc.) Businesses must use a third party program for making their Facebook contest, then direct users to this program on their Facebook page.
There are lots of paid tools that will help you do this, as well as some free ones. Shortstack offers quite a few free contest templates, so long as your webpage has beneath 2,000 likes. Many third-party Facebook contest apps offer free versions, but your options together are limited.

4. Facebook Promoted Posts

Facebook Promoted Posts let Facebook page owners pay a flat rate in order to have their individual Facebook posts reach a certain number of users, increasing a specific post’s reach and impressions.

Some businesses have asked – why should I have to pay to ensure that my post is seen by users who are my followers? If a user has liked my page, they should always see my posts on their news feed, shouldn’t they? The answer to this question is no, because it assumes that users spend every waking moment of their life on Facebook’s news feed. For the health and safety of your Facebook fans, we hope this isn’t true!

If a fan of yours happens to be looking at their news feed when you post your story, they are likely to see it, but even then there is no guarantee if their news feed is swamped by other posts. That’s where Promoted Posts comes in – it ups your chances of being seen on a user’s news feed. Facebook Promoted Posts are shown to existing fans, with an added option to reach friends of fans.

Promoted Posts are easy to set up – just click the button beneath any of your page posts.

While the flat rate simplifies the process, Promoted Posts lack the targeting options offered by other Facebook ads.

5. Sponsored Stories

Sponsored Stories are a type of Facebook ad that shows a user’s interactions, such as a Facebook like, to the user’s friends.

Sponsored Stories seeks to capitalize on the “word of mouth” marketing concept. If a user sees that three of his friends like a certain page, he is more inclined to pay attention. The goal of Sponsored Stories is to have a user take the same action as their friends. Advertisers can choose to show friends “likes” if they want more page likes, show friends who have “claimed this offer” if a business wants more users to claim offers, etc.

While the action performed by a friend liking a page or claiming an offer is automatically posted in a user’s news feed, these posts easily get overlooked. Sponsored Stories get preferred positioning, capable of appearing in news feeds and the right sidebar. Sponsored Stories is also the only ad format available on mobile devices.

Sponsored Stories don’t only apply to likes or offer – they can be used with any Facebook Open Graph app. If a friend has just installed Scramble With Friends on Facebook, Sponsored Stories can show users that their friend has just played the Scramble game, with an invite to “challenge them,” “play with them,” or any similar variation.

Facebook claims that Sponsored Stories have 46% higher CTRs and 20% lower CPCs than regular Facebook ads, making them a very serious strategy for marketing on Facebook.

Facebook Sponsored Stories can be created easily through the Facebook ad create flow. Open Graph Sponsored Stories with a customized call to action require advertisers to use a third-party provider.

6. Facebook Open Graph

Facebook Open Graph lets businesses label a user’s action with their app. Billions of interactions are posted on Facebook Open Graph every day.

Businesses can create third-party apps that connect to a user and post a notice on Facebook when a user performs a specific action with the app. Facebook’s Open Graph allows for creative interactive options outside of the standard “like” and “comment.” Posts can suggest that users “listen,” “taste,” “read,” – it’s up to businesses to get creative.

Virtually any time a site or app prompts users to sign in to Facebook, it has something to do with connecting the user to the Facebook Open Graph.

Spotify is a great example of how Facebook Open Graph becomes a powerful Facebook marketing tool.

It all starts with a Facebook login prompt.

This is followed immediately by a permission request, which many users click through with little thought. I actually discovered that I had given permissions to 130 apps, 95% of which I don’t recall the reasoning behind.

Once permission has been obtained, Spotify is able to stream what songs a user is listening to on a friend’s news feed.

Pic borrowed from Justin Lafferty of AllFacebook.com

Notice that users are given a variety of options – they can like the song their friend is listening to, listen to the song themselves, or star it as a favorite in Spotify.

Open Graph actions like these are unique enough to stand out from the cluttered craziness of a user’s news feed.

Many Facebook games make frequent use of Facebook open graph actions, posting a notice when a user has completed a level or won an achievement.

Farmville. Oh, joy.

Open graph actions are being categorized as a new type of consumer story, taking advantage of the word of mouth phenomenon. Open graph posts are more meaningful to users because they are being generated by a familiar friend, not simply a brand, making them the latest and greatest of Facebook marketing tools.

7. Facebook Exchange (FBX)

Facebook Exchange lets advertisers take advantage of ad retargeting on Facebook through real-time bidding. Advertisers can target audiences based on web history data – when a user visits a product page on a retailer’s website but fails to make a purchase, the retailer can then display an ad for that same product on Facebook with FBX.

While Facebook retargeting ads were only relegated to the side columns, recently these ads have been allowed to appear in news feeds, the most valuable Facebook real-estate. This is great news for FBX advertisers since response rates for news feed ads are 10 to 50 times higher than that of ad placements in the right column.

So how do Facebook Exchange ads perform? The CTR for Facebook Exchange ads is 40% lower than for other web retargeting ads, like those offered by the Google Display Network. Other retargeting ads are also cheaper, with a price per unique clicks costing 80% less than Facebook retargeting ads. Still, in terms of cost-per-impression and cost-per-click, FBX ads are considerably cheaper, so the monetary benefits depend on your business’s needs. These numbers are also subject to change as FBX ads begin to appear more often in the news feed.

Twitter Chats: The Untapped Market:::

However, the question you should really be asking is “how can I get more energetic Twitter followers?” We have been pushing Twitter chats for quite some time now, also it’s nice to see a good deal of marketers slowly start to understand the power of Twitter chats when it comes to gaining active followers. The reason Twitter chats are so effective is that the people who take part in these are the ones that enjoy actively participating in the social networking. Instead, these people use Twitter for the purpose that it was intended for, which is to socialize. These will be the types of users that will respond to a Tweets, Retweet your articles and also amplify your message. To get started, look for Twitter chats associated with your industry. If you are in the advertising industry or target business owners and entrepreneurs, Chloe West assemble a fantastic resource of the latest Twitter chats around topics such as content promotion, social networking, and business. And you may always use Google as well. Can not locate any Twitter chats to your industry? The trick to success with Twitter chats is to become more than a spectator. You need to add value to this conversation and also differentiate yourself. By way of instance, instead of just Tweeting text, why don’t you produce a special picture instead? Tools such as Canva make it extremely easy to make a beautiful Twitter picture in a couple minutes. Another suggestion that’ll earn you participated followers through Twitter chats is to respond to other chatters. Nearly all your own Tweets should be replies to other people. Do not neglect to @mention them so that they get a notification. Lastly, follow the newest connections you make throughout the chats. Produce a Twitter list for every Twitter chat you take part in and add the users you’ve participated with into the list. Then start to Retweet, favorite and answer their own Tweets and share their articles. Do not allow the relationships die following the Twitter conversation is finished.

Plan Ahead:::

Planning ahead for holidays and special events can provide you the time to craft premium quality articles to take advantage of trending hashtags and topics. For instance, we all know hashtags such as #Halloween, #Thanksgiving, and #Christmas will probably be trending as it gets closer to those dates. Instead of waiting until a couple of days earlier, start inventing campaigns at least two to three weeks ahead of time. Use our Hashtag Holidays Calendar for find a look at upcoming holidays it is possible to Tweet about. When the special evening comes up, follow some trending hashtags about the occasion and do some actual time marketing also. That is only one of the essential benefits of using Twitter. You have to send out articles as events are happening instead of being required to wait till after the momentum has expired.

Create Tweets Conversational:::

The way a great deal of brands Tweet is quite one dimensional. Their Tweets are essentially just broadcasts, which is not exactly what Twitter is about as we mentioned previously. Your own Tweets shouldn’t consist of just headlines with a connection, inspirational quotes or humorous statements. Similar to going ahead, you should also have a set posting schedule on your own Twitter account. Your Tweeting schedule should detail exactly what and when you intend on Tweeting. Your strategy should summarize things such as when you are likely to Tweet links to your new posts and other updates. It’s a fantastic idea to include this as the component of your overall content strategy, especially if you publish articles across several different platforms such as a blog, YouTube, guest posts and media exposure. A benefit of getting a set Tweeting strategy is that are able to avoid mistakes such as just Tweeting out links to a blog post after. Generally, this is among the biggest mistakes brands have a tendency to create on social networking, but it’s especially bad on Twitter.

This allows you to capture videos up to 140 seconds long and upload them straight to your own Twitter stream.

Set Goals & Milestones:::

If you are like us, you have probably read several Twitter advertising tips on the internet. However, for some reason, this critical suggestion gets glossed over or totally forgotten. No advertising strategy is complete with no measurable goals you need to realize. An astounding 41 percent of companies don’t have any idea whether their social networking efforts are functioning or not. A huge reason for that amount is companies are not keeping tabs on the activity, and have not set any type of objectives for that which they would like to attain on Twitter. Instead, businesses just publish articles and hope that something happens to improve their own brand. The publish and pray approach simply will not cut it. First, you will want to set some objectives and goals onto Twitter: Build a engaged following Respond to customer complaints faster Generate leads Get More Visitors to your website Then, you’ll establish accomplishments which tie in with those objectives: Increased mentions a Retweets by 15 percent Improve traffic from Twitter from 30 percent Add at least 100 new contacts out of Twitter, Of course, all your goals should include a specified deadline.

It is important to understand different types of directory submission sites so that you can select as per your requirement. There are three main types: Free, Paid, and Reciprocal Directory Submission Sites.

Free Directory Submission Sites: 

Submitting your blog these directories doesn’t involve any cost. As the name suggests, these directories are free. However, there is no assurance of your site getting reviewed or approved by the administrator. Hence building backlinks through free directory submission sites takes slightly more time and effort.

Paid Directory Submission Sites: 

You have to pay a certain fee to submit your blog or website with paid directories. However, most paid directories approve the submission and provide you a backlink within 24 hours. These paid directories are very useful when you need to get backlinks quickly.

Reciprocal Directory Submission Sites: 

Such reciprocal directories require you to add a link to your own blog or website before approval by directory’s administrator. Once the directory submission site’s administrator is able to validate their link on your site, they approve your submission.

Guide to Directory Submission for SEO

Submitting your blog or website to various sites on our directory submission list would require you to fill a lot of submission forms. We recommend that you use some web browser plugin or extension to auto-fill the forms for you. This would help you save a lot of time and effort.

• Here is the step by step guide for creating backlinks using our directory submission list:
• Read the guidelines carefully on the submission page
• Select the main category which best fits the topic of your blog or website
• Then narrow down and select the sub-category which is most appropriate
• Always select the sub-category. Never leave it blank.
• Fill the complete submission form carefully as per guidelines
• Click the submit button to submit your site
• Usually, after you submit, you will get a confirmation message. For example, ‘Submitted and waiting for approval’.
• If there is a submission URL, then save it for future reference
• Move to next site on the directory submission list and submit your website

There is no doubt that directory submission sites are one of the most effective strategies for building backlinks. However, it is important to be cautious and avoid spammy directories. Search engines have become selective about the quality of backlinks and give more weight to backlinks from directory submission sites with high Alexa rank.

That’s why we have prepared this high-quality directory submission list with Alexa rank so that you can best optimize your link building effort. Start submitting your website to directories with high Alexa rank so that you get the highest quality backlinks first

Although a majority of blog owners submit their blogs to Google for Indexing, I would recommend you to submit your blog to other search engines also as it would give you a boost in traffic as well as valuable backlinks.

You can create as many backlinks as you want. However, you need to target the right keywords to improve your search engine rankings. We recommend:

[alert-note]SEMrush to find the best keywords and anchor text for your backlinks.[/alert-note]

What is Search Engine Submission?

Search Engine Submission happens when you submit the URL of your blog to search engine for Crawling and Indexing.

Crawling:

This is the process by which search engine software known as ‘web crawlers’ find publicly available information. For e.g. Google uses a software called ‘Googlebot’ to crawl web pages and the links within those pages to bring the information back to Google.

Indexing:

This is the process by which search engines organize the information. To take the above example forward, once Google has received the information about web pages, Google creates an index of words and their locations so that they can be looked up when required.

• Add your website to all major Search Engines
• Setup your website’s RSS Feed using Feedburner (which is Google’s own RSS publishing tool)
• Add your website’s URL to your social profiles on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ etc.

• Submit your new website to Free Directories like Activesearchresults and Entireweb

Conclusion

Using ping submission sites can often get your new URLs and backlinks indexed within 24 hours by search engines. At times, I have seen new URLs indexed even within 15 minutes. However, it is difficult to predict the exact behavior of search engine bots. We suggest using tools like SEMrush or Moz to easily track the backlinks pointing toward your site.
