wpSEO

The Meta-Description is used by Google and other search engines to provide the description of a page. This is quite important - particularly since WordPress by default does absolutely nothing about it. wpSEO can generate post descriptions in a variety of ways, however in most cases it makes sense to cite the actual postings - automatically. If you’d like to be more precise, you can also provide a brief summary for Meta-Description manually.

    What wordpress needs, is a design that incorporates h1, h2, h3 tags done correctly. I haven't seen one done the correct way yet. But then again I haven't looked at the code in all of them so there may be some out there.

    Hi, thanks for these pluggins. The majority of them do indeed provide some great SEO advantages most importantly the meta tag generator which as you rightly point out is one of the most effective SEO tactics to be employed to ensure that search engines are fully aware of what your post is about and indexed correctly.

    I can't recommend 'all-in-one seo' addon enough. It's done wonders for sites that I've been affiliated with. These other tools just make it that much sweeter. Thanks!

  • San Diego Web Designer

    I love the domain name of this blog : teqsnacks.com ...super cute!

  • shaunjudy

    very nice list. I like Headspace2 myself. It's much more effective than All-In-One and Platinum. I also like to use link juice keeper which redirects any broken links to the homepage.

  • 993C4S

    Hi, great list of SEO plugins. Thanks! Quick question though. What plugin are you running at the top of this post that provides the related posts vs. Google search term? It starts of with "Welcome Googler" Many thanks in advance.

    • http://mgto.org Fili

      993C4s - The plugin is called WP-Greetbox. ^_^

  • http://www.PorschePurist.com 993C4S

    Fili,

    thanks. I checked out your source code and found it for myself. :-)

  • http://www.PorschePurist.com 993C4S

    Hi, Fili,

    One more question for you, if you don't mind. :-) I installed Greet Box. Works fantastic. However, when I first came to your site, via Google, along with Greet Box it was showing some related posts. Is that a plugin too?

    FYI, I installed Greetbox last night around 10:00 pm. 24 new subscribers as of this morning

  • http://mgto.org Fili

    993c4s - yeah, it is. Check the plugin settings, it will become very clear.

  • http://www.PorschePurist.com 993C4S

    Thanks again. Amazing how the eyes can miss things. I didn't even see the selections at the top. I have the related posts box checked but still can't seem to see it working. I'll keep playing with it. It doesn't require you to have a related post plugin, does it?

    • http://mgto.org Fili

      I think it doesn't. One thing to consider is that if you have alot of search engine traffic, it will create a heavy load on your server.
      But, it's useful, no doubt.

    the most important thing when doing search engine optimization is get a good amount of backlinks first. when you have a sufficient amount of backlinks, then you can start optimizing in page links, keyword density and other factors which affects your ranking.

    • Fili

      Ken - I don't think the two have to be separate. You should address these two at the same time, though on-site technical SEO is much easier and basic to do. IT's completely within your control.
