Best SEO Wordpress Plugins

Wordpress is a great platform. It is one of the favoured content management systems (CMS) out there and it’s obvious why. It’s regularly updated. It’s easily customized and it’s suitable for the expert to the newbie. There are however several plugins which you can download and activate which will make your Wordpress more search engine friendly. Here’s the list of the top SEO plugins. They are not really in any order, just in the order I thought of them! Enjoy

1. All-in-One-SEO plugin

This is one of the best SEO plugins out there. With it you can customize every individual blog page/post’s title, meta keywords and meta description tags. You can also stop parts of your blog from being indexed. This avoids a lot of the duplicate content issues.

2. Google Sitemap Generator

A sitemap is a page which acts like a directory for that site. It lists every single page found on that site. It tells the search engines what new pages have been made as soon as they are made. Here’s more information about sitemaps. No coding skills are necessary and it works with all Wordpress created pages.

3. Sociable -> Antisocial

Social sites have become increasingly popular and cannot be ignored today in internet marketing. With this plugin you and your readers can easily submit to up to 99 social bookmarking sites. The Antisocial hack means that the links are nofollow. Thanks for that update

4. Smart Links

With this plugin you can make any phrase or word in your posts automatically link to other post/pages on your blog. Good internal link structure really does help ranking.

5. Yet Another Related Posts Plugin

While we’re on the subject of interneal linking, this plugin will choose posts that are related and display links to them at the bottom of the page.

6. Meta Robots Plugin

This will help you follow, nofollow, index, noindex any links/pages you have on your blog.

7. SEO friendly images

This plugin automatically updates your images with relevant title and alt tags. Additionally this makes the post W3C/xHTML valid as well. SEO is all about your users and useability. This helps.

8. Google Positioner

OK, this plugin only helps the admin and nothing else but I think it’s still worth a mention. It will track the positions of your desired keywords.

9. SEO Slugs

This plugin gets rid of words which you don’t want in your permalink structure such as ‘the’ ‘a’ ‘and’ making your permalinks shorter and more readable. These words are called stop words.
