Developing a WordPress Silo SEO Plugin with Yoast/All In One SEO Support
- SEO |
The plugin will generate a multi-use widget which can make popular posts, recent posts and similar widget links (there's 11 possible combinations: if you know what you are doing you can make an oldest posts widget, least popular posts widget...) where the anchor text of the widget links uses the Yoast or All In One SEO plugins title tags rather than the post titles. Would have thumbnail and excerpt support as well.
By using the Yoast/All In One SEO title tags for internal anchor text it adds valuable anchor text benefit.
The silo SEO feature would be how the links are generated, which posts are linked to.
Rather than pulling the posts to be linked to from the entire pool of posts, the widget would only pull posts from the same categories/tags the post viewed is in.
This means every post can in theory have a different set of links loaded on a Popular Posts widget. If your average post is added to 2 categories, only posts from those 2 categories would be loaded by the widget.
I use this concept with the SEO theme I develop (built into the theme, so won't work with other themes).
See these two posts which shows a popular posts widget (Popular Jokes widget) on a site I tend to add posts to one category each:
Popular posts only from the Money Jokes category : Business Jokes
Popular posts only from the Yo Mamma Jokes category : Yo Mama So Fat Jokes
Check other posts in other categories and you'll see the links change.
That's one widget which changes based on post loaded (category based silos). The jokes site has just under 1,200 posts and I don't have the time to manually link related posts together (would take months of building links manually), so this one widget (have set to show up to 50 posts) does a good job of linking related content together without the hassle of building manual silos. The site ranks quite well for joke relevant SERPs, generates around a million visitors a year, so works as well :-)
That one widget took about a minute to setup, so this is really fast silo SEO linking.
If I make the silo SEO plugin, thinking about selling it through the Warrior Special Offers forum. Which then comes to price, if interested how much would you pay for it?
