Place them in the footer instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Remove Dates from Evergreen Blog Posts<\/strong>: Dates can unnecessarily age your content. Only include them if they are relevant.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shorten Long Paragraphs<\/strong>: Break up text with bullet points, subheads, and formatting to improve readability and scannability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Replace Press Releases with Engaging Stories<\/strong>: Traditional press releases don&#8217;t engage well online. Write compelling, story-driven content instead.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Limit Use of PDF Files<\/strong>: PDFs are hard to update, not search-friendly, and often don&#8217;t track in analytics. Use HTML formats when possible.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Distribute Testimonials Across Your Site<\/strong>: Instead of a dedicated testimonials page, incorporate testimonials throughout your site for more impact.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Prefer Contact Forms Over Email Links<\/strong>: Contact forms are more trackable, reliable, and less likely to attract spam than direct email links.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avoid Website Dead Ends<\/strong>: Ensure every page, especially thank you pages, guides visitors to further engagement or information.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Optimize your website by making headlines specific, navigation clear, content authentic and scannable, and avoid outdated elements like slideshows and PDFs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":5237,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5236","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-seo","category-41","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5236","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5236"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5236\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5238,"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5236\/revisions\/5238"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5236"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5236"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wam.vn\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5236"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
