Top 5 SEO Plugins for WordPress
28th February 2008 by Craig Wilson
If you’re looking to start up a new blog — or switch from an existing blog software — then I can’t recommend WordPress enough. In my opinion it’s the best open source blogging platform out there, it’s easy to use and highly flexible.
There are so many great aspects to WordPress that I could write about it all day, but maybe another time. Today I will be focusing on it’s Plugins feature and how you can customise your blog with third party tools. There are thousands of plugins for WordPress, so I couldn’t comment on them all, I’ll just be looking at the top 5 SEO plugins and how these can benefit your blog.
1. All-in-One SEO Pack
To kick things off, I give you the All-in-One SEO Pack. This is a great place to start because it covers all the basics with a whole range of new options for you to play around with. The most important section gives you the ability to manually create a page title, meta description and meta keywords for each individual blog post.
Click for large.
The other part of this plugin allows you to edit the title / meta tags for your homepage too, as well as loads of other goodies including the 404 message, noindex options and auto page title formats.
