As István Róbert Keszeg recommends Yoast is great!

Here is a link to help you set that up. http://www.seomoz.org/blog/setup-wordpress-for-seo-success

Huey-

DO NOT USE MULTIPLE SEO PLUGINS FOR WORDPRESS. Pick one and go with it. Yoost all in one is a great plugin. Make sure you use the standard and advanced tabs on it to get the most onpage SEO value.

Istvan is right....the plug in only helps you improve your onpage optimization. You need to focus on offpage optimization or PPC to drive traffic.

THERE IS NO MAGICAL PIXIE DUST. You can't do just one thing to help you generate traffic....if you could, everyone would be doing it. Im not going to disparage senukex and bookmarking demon but we get clients all the time that use these services and are getting penalized by Google and it is killing their SEO value and traffic. if you generate 4-5 links with high page rank/mozrank sites, it could be worth 1,000s of crappy links.   You need to focus on linkbuilding. Here is a solid beginners guide that SEOMOZ provides that is a good starting point if you can't hire soemone to do it for you....

And if you have a limited budget I would recommend this article from Craig. He does a solid job of showing you step by step instructions to start to generate some linkbuilding value. We send this to a number of our prospective clients if they don't have the money to hire someone.

Hey Huey,

To be honest I am using Yoast as a Wordpress plugin for SEO and I usually try to stick on only one plugin for the SEO so they do not overwrite each-other.

But the SEO plugins are helping your ON-Page optimization. And that is only one piece of the big puzzle.

I advice you the following: try to check where your possible clients hang out in their free time, what kind of websites, online channels are they checking. Getting some nice content on such sites can help you boost your rankings but also drive some nice traffic to your website. (I know there are going to be opposite thoughts regarding this, but for me it has worked out well and it has lowered my and my clients costs in long time)

I hope this was helpful!
