Top 12 SEO Wordpress Plugins

Posted on Nov 18, 2008 by Jeremy Winter | Catagory: Blogging

Here is a list of some really great plugins that will definitely help your site rank higher under search engines. These plugins are not ranked on performance but more overall features.

  1. Add Link Attribute

    This plugin will allow you to add a link attribute such as nofollow to any template generated list, such as pages or blogroll, without having to edit the wordpress core. Next time you won’t have to reset all of them when you upgrade to a new wordpress version.

  2. Add to Any: Share/Save/Bookmark Button

    Add to any will allow you to put a sharebookmarksubscribe button on the bottom of every post, helping your visitors share and save your site. This is great for building up link backs to boost your SERP.

  3. All in One SEO Pack

    With All in One SEO you can easily add titles, descriptions, and tags for search engines to read. It also helps deal with duplicate content issues. If you get any of the plugins on this page, get this one.

  4. Google XML Sitemaps

    Automatically notify Google, MSN, Yahoo, and ASK.com about changes to your site. This plugin will build a sitemap according your preferences and automatically submit it to the major players like Google and Yahoo.

  5. Nofollow Links

    With the Nofollow Links plugin you can choose on a link by link basis which links in your blogroll with carry the nofollow attribute. Some similar plugins only allow you to nofollow all or none of the links. This one allows you to select the individual links you want to nofollow.

  6. Nofollow Tag Cloud

    Simply adds nofollow to all of your tagcloud links. Some would argue against this one and some would argue for.

  7. Noindex Archives

    A Wordpress plugin to add “noindex” attribute to archive links. This plugin helps with duplicate content issues.

  8. Permalink Redirect

    With the Permalink Redirect plugin you can be assured that there will be only one link associated with each blog post. Great for fighting duplicate content. All of this is done with a 301 permalink redirection so it will still pass page rank.

  9. Robots Meta

    Robots Meta has too many great features to list. One of its main benefits though is to choose the robots meta information for individual pages and post. Check out the site for more info.

  10. SEO Friendly Images

    SEO Friendly Images automatically updates all of your sites images with ALT and TITLE attributes. If your images do not have ALT and TITLE already set, SEO Friendly Images will add them according the options you set.

  11. SEO Slugs

    The SEO Slugs Wordpress plugin removes common words like ‘a’, ‘the’, ‘in’ from post slugs which looks nicer, ranks higher in search results, and has a much higher click-through rate when compared to the longer versions.

  12. SEO Title Tag

    This plugin is similar to the ALL in One SEO plugin except it focus more directly on Post titles and Post slugs. A great feature of SEO Title Tags is it’s mass edit mode where you can list and edit many different post titles at once. Great for Spring Cleaning.
