Do you recommend wp robot and is it expensive?

cypherslock · 08-20-2010, 11:30 AM

Not really. $147 for the full thing with free updates until he releases a new version. Worth the money.

You should have added that she can buy separate WP Robot modules for 20-40$.

TracyNeedham · 08-20-2010, 12:58 PM

I always saw All in One SEO listed in those "best of" plug-in lists so that's what I use. You don't have to do anything to it to make it work, just install and activate. But he does give you options for optimizing further as well.

Highdefinition · 08-20-2010, 07:56 PM

No one can beat the "All in one Seo plugin"

dt1968 · 08-20-2010, 08:46 PM

I use "All In One SEO" as well

TheWealthSquad · 08-21-2010, 12:12 PM

A sitemap plug in to create a site map obviously
Login Lockdown to prevent mass attacks on your password
Contact Form 7 to create nice contact forms and protect your email address
Duplicate Post - Create a template and then use this to duplicate it for every post. Makes it much faster to have a nice looking consistent blog
Easy Privacy Policy - Quick and simple set up
MaxBlogPress PingOptimizer - If you edit posts you need this.
Statcounter Plugin - If you use statcounter to look at traffic stats
Pretty Link - To manage affiliate links
SEO Smart Links
SEO Friendly Images
THank Me Later for automated follow up on people who comment on your blog
Smart Youtube - for easy playing of Youtube videos on your site
W3TotalCache - Improve site performance against increased traffic demand
Referral Detector - to greet people with a custom greeting depending on where they came from
Wordpress Database Backup- Set up a gmail account and have it sent every day. A MUST!!

If you use Thesis - Thesis Openhook

I know that went beyond SEO but hope it helps.

fthomas137 · 08-21-2010, 12:20 PM

I can't believe that these two plugins never made the list yet! And they are critical!!!

PC Robots.txt
Google XML Sitemaps

Free Traffic Getting SEO Plugin from Jeff Johnson. This plugin tells you all the plugins you need and how to optimise your permalinks for optimum usage.

For affiliate link tracking...

For video integration...

I use Flowplayer for WordPress

If you use Aweber...

petec · 08-29-2010, 12:44 PM

Akismet for me is a must.
Stop all that spam.
It requires an API key. To get that go to wordpress.com set up a free account. You can then get your API key and add it to Akismet. Simples.

There are other spam options such as si-captcha but in my experience it puts people off commenting.

Nice mention of the WP Syndicator ... Andy Fletcher and I have built a few sweet seo plugins that rocks ... that guy can code some damn good php :-)

All in One SEO works well for me as well. You might also want to consider Daniel Tan's plugin. Haven't purchased it but it looks like it can do great things. Anyone have any comments related to this?

On each of my WordPress sites, these plugins are mandatory:

Google XML Sitemap

Steve Wise · 08-31-2010, 06:31 PM

You can buy the full version of WPRobot through the forum at a discounted price of $129 (I believe). If you want to test it out, there is a free version you can install. Go to their site and you'll find the free plugin.
