There is a few things you can do to your WordPress blog settings to make your website get seen higher and faster in the search engines. These settings will not help your website dramatically, but we do want to change these settings to help your affiliate website work better for you!
This affiliate guide is about changing your WordPress user profile settings to make your website’s title more relevant and known to the search engines. If your wordpress theme displays the author’s name all over your website saying what user wrote each post, then this setting is for you. Some WordPress themes do not display author information on each post or page, some WordPress themes even have a setting to allow you to display author information or not.
I would recommend having the author information displayed. The reason I say this is because if someone comes to your website and copies your post and pastes your guide on their website you will at least get a back link from that website because your author information will be a link to your affiliate website. Yes, they can remove this link and you will not get a back link, but I’d rather have a possible back link than nothing from someone stealing my information from my websites. Hopefully no one ever steals your website’s information, but just in case! You can choose yourself, if you want author information displayed on your affiliate posts or not, it’s up to you. It’s not going to make that significant of a difference for me to tell you, “Yes, add it” or “No, don’t add it”.
Now since you have the author information displayed on your website, you need to change a small setting in your WordPress user profile. Instead of Admin or your first and last name being displayed all over your affiliate website, since no one is searching for that, we will have your website title displayed. Instead of your affiliate website saying First Last name wrote this guide, your affiliate website will say Your Affiliate Website’s Title wrote this guide. Let’s start changing your WordPress user profile settings!
What to do to WordPress User Profile Settings
- Login to your WordPress affiliate website by adding /wp-admin/ to the end of your domain name in a web browser. http://your-domian-name.com/wp-admin/
- In the top right of your dashboard / admin area click on your username. Howdy, Admin
- Enter your website title in the Nickname section.
- Select this new nickname in the drop down menu Display name publicly as
- Enter your domain name in the website text box. http://your-domain-name.com

That wasn’t hard at all. Now your WordPress posts will look a little better and have your affiliate website title in them!
