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

Product Descriptions (SEO)
Hello, I sell products relating to wood. Although the products vary, I like to give description of the wood type for the customers who might not be familiar with it. Will it hurt my rankings to give the same descriptions for the same wood type as long as the majority of the description is different? Here is an example of the layout: 1. Different description for different products 2. The same short description for the same wood types (seen throughout multiple pages) Hopefully my question makes sense.

Is my megamenu negatively impacting my SEO?
Hello everyone, I have a megamenu with 87 links in total. We offer a ton of products, so when we decided to have this developed, it seemed like a no-brainer because a straight drop-down menu was really hard to digest. But I have been wondering if it is creating too many links on every single page and/or muddling the signals to the search engines. If anyone could take a look and give me their insight, I would really appreciate it. Thanks, www.cleanedison.com

The Best Way to Market a Blog Post?
So . . . I've written a beautiful blog (or video or podcast or whatever . . . just take my word for it that it will be nominated for an Oscar, Webby, or Pulitzer very soon). What's the best way to get the word out about it? Let me rephrase that. I know I should tweet, post on Facebook, social networks etc cetera. My real question is, should I link to the home page (which is where my blog is located . . . it would show up there) or should I link to the specific page of the full blog post? Seems to me, linking to the blog post directly gives me a better chance at tracking the success of the article in generating interest and traffic, but I was assuming linking to the home page helped pump up the importance of my overall site? I still consider myself an SEO Noob so be sure to speak slowly and not use big words. Consider drawing pictures.
