What is the best SEO Plug-in for Wordpress?What is the best SEO Plug-in for Wordpress?
-
I manage a Wordpress site and I am interested to get the community's views on the best SEO plug-ins around? We are looking at using Yoast. Should I be looking at anything else?
-
Another vote for Yoast SEO Plugin, there is a premium version now, but dont think this means the free is in some form a limited plugin it is still a full featured polished product that works well. (Premium offers better support, and redirect module, which can be used free by another plugin)
-
Yoast is better for a number of reasons. The main one is being able to really nail down custom category titles, which is important if you organise your blog this way. AIOSEO is a very good plugin but yeah, Yoast wins.
Also, see a full test just recently completed by a top Moz contributor, Dan Shure:

I also vote for Yoast.
Plugins are all about ease of use and efficient features, it has it all.
I love that we can see how the page will look on Google, and I love how it gives advices on : you may turn on or off this feature.
Let me know what you choose

Thanks

I knew you would! Good luck with your project (s).

Thanks Travis. I'll be sure to review the SEO manually as well.
-
Thanks Patrick that's really helpful. I'll be sure to check it out.
-
I also use Yoast for every website. I tried a few other plugins but i switched back to Yoast a few month ago because of the very good XML sitemap and breadcrumbs implementation.
-
My vote goes to Yoast. I do urge you to manually review the SEO of your site as well since any plugin cannot optimize your site entirely.

Conor,
Yoast is a good plugin and I know a lot of people use it, but honestly, I find the All In One SEO Pack to be awesome! We use it on almost every website we develop. Check it out and install it to play around with the setup. Here are some resource links to review. We love it and hope this helps in your search! - Patrick

Best way to nofollow affiliate links?
I don't "nofollow" affiliate links but I have quite a few. Doing them one by one would just be an impossible job. Would it be best to get a plugin that nofollows EVERYTHING? What would google prefer? I need to DOFOLLOW some links because those sites deserve it.

Best SEO Extension/Plugin for NOPCommerce Site?
Hi I am working for a client who is using NOPCommerce. It doesn't look like they have a SEO Plugin in - although you can add meta descriptions to Products - which works fine, the Product categories have SEO components too but do not seem to work and all 'other' content /CMS pages have no SEO components whatsoever. Does anyone know of a plugin which would resolve this? (PS never used NOPCommerce before!)

Best start for int'l SEO?
Hi all We're soon going to begin our international SEO efforts, and I wanted to get some opinions on laying the foundation first. I'm aware of the best, most ideal practices (getting a proper translator, ccTLDs vs subdomains vs folders, etc.) and wanted to know if this would be a good first step: Creating folders by language/country code (does it matter which?) that will have unique copy on the respective page, and targeting those pages to the corresponding country via Google WMT. The nature of our website would require a massive, coordinated effort to translate all of the content, so I was thinking about starting with the homepage for each country and going from there. Is the risk of duplicate content for every new folder too high to chance not translating EVERY bit of content? Thanks for any help or advice!

Can you recommend a few resources for Yahoo SEO
We get very little traffic from Yahoo Search and it seems only 15%-20% of our pages are indexed by Yahoo and Bing although we do submit sitemaps to both of them. Do you have some tips or resources (articles, blogs, books) you could recommend for Yahoo Search optimization?
