  • The WordPress Plugins yoast, All In One Seo is good wordpress plugin. I had good experience in both.
    • [ 2 ] Thanks
  • Try SEO Smart Link WordPress plugin and Yoast. Both of them are best plugins for WordPress.
  • The same ones you've seen in these stupid threads in the last couple of years. I'm not sure what's changing, because the commonly used tools sure are not.
  • The best wordpress plugin is yoast.Yoast*SEO (formerly known as WordPress SEO by Yoast) is the most complete WordPress SEO plugin that exists today for WordPress.org users. It incorporates everything from a snippet editor*and real time page analysis functionality that helps you optimize your pages content, images titles, meta descriptions and more to XML sitemaps, and loads of optimization options in between.
  • You had better utilize the Wordpress plugins for SEO:
    1. Wordpress SEO by Yoast
    2. SEMrush
    3. Google Keyword Planner
    4. Keyword tool
    5. Open Site Explorer
    6. LinkPatrol
    7. Broken Link Checker
    8. Rel Nofollow Checkbox
    9. SEOquake
    Good success!

  • Yoast will slow your WP site down.

    For me, SEO Framework is the best and 1000% times faster and lighter that Yoast and the rest crapola.

    • There's been some rotten versions and some scenarios in witch it doesn't work properly, but it's not that slow in most cases. Have you actually tried to profile the resource usage across multiple WP and Yoast versions?

  • Hi. I have been using Yoast as the plugin for Search Engine Optimization and it is something I can proudly share and refer someone to. It just makes your total life when it comes to blog posting an easier thing. The interface and the way functionality has been integrated is fantastic. I have used it for several years and it really produces results. This is good especially if you are doing SEO using blog posts. Just try it and you will have a story to tell.
  • Hi there

    I have found the most powerful and stable plugin for SEO is definitely Yoast. Integrate perfectly in Wordpress and is easy to use.
    You are able to do everything from basic on page optimisation to generating XML sitemaps, editing robots.txt file as well as the htaccess file.

    Just keep in mind that the new and most recent update for yoast is version 3 and the dashboard has changed drastically. Its not as user friendly.

    Id say check out the previous versions as meta descriptions are easier to use but then also check out the new version 3.

    I was quite thrown by the new dashboard so I did a lot of research and wrote a short article on it with some guides and screen shots.

    Hope this helps man

    And don't forget about your footer content - Google rewards authentic sites.

    Apparently most of you have no idea about Wordpress and how to run one.

    Please don't ever ask this question on a forum ever again, you will trigger half of India to respond.

    First things first. All in one and yoast are both great plugins that don't actually improve your ranking, they remove the stupid default behavior of WP that *could* hurt your ranking. This isn't SEO, it's more of an issue with the way wordpress works, it's just not designed to be Google SEO friendly out of the box. There's many different problems that WP creates and I won't go into detail.

    Both tools give you the ability to do the following with WP: they allow you to change the <h1> and <title> tags without changing the page address. To be 100% clear, as far as SEO goes, that's all that really matters minus canonical tags and some other minor things that probably effect your ranking by about .0001% along with all of the other "200 ranking factors."

  • I am not sure why none of us are recommending "Moz SEO" Plugin which is really super for onpage optimization.

  • Yoast seo is the best
  • You don't need to use any SEO plugin anymore if you don't want to. SEO plugin gives you the option to write different title tag for your post if you want it different with your blog post. Otherwise, Google will use your blog title as your title tag and will pull excerpt from your blog post as description.
  • Yoast SEO is excellent!

    • No. Plugins that get no updates should not be used on new WordPress sites. That's asking for trouble. However, NextGEN Gallery is an actively maintained plugin.

      The confusion in your post? You tried to steal content from SEW, but didn't even manage to do that.

      It's kinda suspicious to casually steal some content, and then drop the name of a premium plugin at the end. Just sayin'.
  • In my opinion Yoast is the best one.
    I`m using Yoast on 10+ websites and it did wonders for me. Keep in mind that this tool is free and you can find lots of documentation and best practices on their website.
    They are prompt in releasing updates for fixing various bugs or improving existing things.

    Other plugins worth mentioning are:

    - SEMrush
    - LinkPatrol
    - SEOquake
    - Google Keyword Planner

  • Yoast, Semrush and All In One Seo are some of the good WP Plugins.
  • Yoast and SEMrush are couple of best FREE options.

    • NONE,

      Because SEO should be included in the theme. Yoast and all other slowdown pageload and they add unsollicited codes to our pages. I remember that Googlebot thought there were a 404 broken link inside a javascript code from Yoast.

      It is better to see how titles and description appears and try to do with it. If something is missing add it in a children theme.

Keep it simple or "KISS"...that´s my way of doing things nowadays.... Good luck!

    • Thanks for inserting some sanity to this train wreck of a thread.

      What does Yoast SEO do in addition to a well-made theme? On the front end side, not much. If your theme is decent you probably only need a XML sitemap plugin, and even that's optional.

      I do like Yoast SEO's title and meta templates, their take on sitemaps, the breadcrumbs functionality, and the feature to turn unnecessary archives off. There's a ton of plugins for two of these, and the last one is just a few lines of code.

      I've never seen the content analysis as useful, although one major reason is that it's not really "compatible" with my native language. It's often also pretty deceptive for the newbies. "See, I've done a great job according to this plugin!" Congrats mate, the article you wrote contains the word that you inserted in that box over there. Do you want a medal for that?

      That's a bit unfortunate choice of words. Performance is not Yoast SEO's strong points even though it's worked fine on my sites. It's still one of the heaviest plugins I consistently use.

      Spammers are spamming. If you want to be on topic, maybe you should at least explain what the heck does this crap have to do with WordPress and SEO.
  • You can use "All in one SEO pack" or "Yoast" plugin for SEO in WP. Both are good SEO plugins.
  • Another hands up for Yoast SEO plugin.

    I also love the Broken Link Checker plugin, Related Posts, and Google XML Sitemaps plugins for SEO.
  • SEO quake and Yoast is the best WordPress Plugin.

  • WordPress offers plugins to update the Meta tags of your website. Example plugins like SEO by yoast / all in seo pack plugins.
  • I would suggest yoast and all in one seo.
  • [DELETED]
  • For me the winner is still YOAST, why?

    1.) Noindex subpages of archives - Very useful feature offered by YOAST
    2.) Open Graph Meta Tags - It makes your post content more presentable and clickable on social networking sites.
    3.) Google Authorship Management - Easy configuration of Google+ Authorship compare to others.
    4.) Permalink Tweaks - Offers genuine and useful URL/Permalink tweaks.
    5.) Breadcrumbs - no brainer to setup breadcrumbs.

    All in all YOAST offers the most simple user-interface yet its features are simply too good to ignore.
