Have you ever wondered if draft WordPress posts affect your SEO? Well, if you have the answers, coming up now. Welcome to Casey's SEO. And for the quick answer, it is no, unpublished posts do not affect your SEO, and the reason why is because they are unpublished. So don't worry about having drafts on your WordPress site.

They will not affect your SEO in any way whatsoever. But what you want to make sure is that you don't actually have hundreds of draft pages that will only take up space and slow your website down. So, make sure to remove any extra drafts or trash that you have in the back end of your WordPress site. And also make sure that once you publish these posts, that you do have your SEO in line. So, for WordPress, I recommend using Yoast, but you can also choose Rank map.

It just depends on your preference. I really like Yoast, though. It's very simple, clean, easy to use, and you can even follow the step-by-step guidelines that it recommends. So, you put in your focus keyword. It will tell you if your keyword is in the headline, if it's in the meta description, if you need to use it more throughout the body, if you need interlinks, external links, et cetera.

So just make sure to follow those guidelines if you are new to SEO. But another quick tip is to make sure that you do some keyword research before posting a blog. You need to use keywords that get some search traffic and are at inappropriate difficulty level for your website. So, if you guys need any more SEO tips, make sure to hit that subscribe button.
