Hi,

I have a free Wordpress hosted blog (name.wordpress.com) and I wanted to edit my HTML code to optimise my blog for more traffic. I read online that we need to edit meta data to improve SEO however, I can't install plugins in my blog and also can't seem to find how to edit the site code.

I need to improve my blog visibility and increase traffic. Can it be done on the free hosted blogs or do I have to upgrade?

Thanks for any leads.

If you really want to have a professional blog with full SEO, you have to buy Hosting +Domain. No point improving SEO for a "free wordpress" blog. Brands wont take you seriously an I'm pretty sure search rankings also depend on custom domains. You can't add plugins/ make changes or anything for now. Simply ensure your perma link , title and keywords are in place and alt tags for images.. that's the only thing you can do now and of course good content
