SEO WordPress (How To Really Do It)
WordPress is a great platform for building websites and we’ve had some great results SEO’ing WordPress installations. However, straight out of the box, its not perfect, but can be improved.

Thanks for the explaination. I did everything accordingly, and now waiting for the 24h to pass for it to show up in my Analytics. However, the small one-sentence confirmation is not appearing anymore, when someone fills in the contact form on our website. Could you please give some input on how to fix this?
