WordPress Plugins to create a glossary in your blog

Be faster and more precise, what many bloggers love. Using a glossary is widespread in the books. You flip through a book,read the first chapter, next to some words that you will see a small number or a small asterisk that tells you it has a definition in footnotes or at the end of the book. It is well thought out. Now will have to make profits for your blog, if you are interested of course!

 

Why we need to create a glossary in our WordPress blogs

 

Imagine your blog that includes a glossary of specialization: cooking, mechanics, computer science, horsemanship, medicine, Web marketing, etc. When your visitor reads your posts, it does not necessarily define a word, it is a little embarrassing, have you wanted to express with the word bugger small pickle?!

Visitors will possibly search on Wikipedia or another online dictionary for the definition of the word, but what is the meaning of the word you used in the context of your article?

A word can encompass several meanings. It is in this sense that you will succeed your glossary that will not be a vulgar copy of another glossary, but a unique, serious, the result of quality work. Your glossary will not be a general glossary, a glossary, but personalized, private, we would say, as it is to you and you alone : your brand.

The other advantage of creating a glossary for your blog is that you are creating additional text content for search engines. The glossary is a source that will possibly attract more visitors. You create text content that is good, but we must always keep in mind that an extra page is a new page to optimize for search engines. In other words, each term should have its own position with the term defined in the hotspots of optimization. The best are those that have glossaries of terms as defined as pages accessed and organized.

Without having tested other plugins, we already used the IMM-Glossary in our offline test blog. You might be interested to read this article on how to create an offline installation of WordPress in your PC.

IMM-Glossary does not create pages for each definition, and it has no menu at the top of alphabetical glossary. This is especially the automatic mode that made interested us even if other plugins has such offer too, you know what we mean after you read more.
