3 of the best SEO plugins for WordPress that your blog shouldn't be without

There are so many SEO plugins for WordPress, some better than others of course, some don’t do all that much but below are 3 great plugins that I have been using that would be incredibly useful on any WordPress Site.
SEO Ultimate – I think this great plugin deserves more recognition than it’s gotten up till now. I have never seen a plugin with such a massive array of features, this does everything that All In One SEO, also throws in the same functionality found within SEO Smart Links and a number of other plugins it is essentially the swiss army knife of WordPress plugins. Some examples of its additional features include; code inserter (for use with adding Google Analytics, Adsense section targeting etc) Webmaster verification assistant, Link Mask Generator, Robots.txt editor and you can even export your SEO Ultimate settings to a file so you can import later or use on another blog if you need to, along with support for importing post meta data from the All In One SEO plugin – and there is more, simply a must have for your blog.

SEO friendly images – It seems like a lot of people will focus more on the off page SEO rather than on page, which itself plays a huge roll in drawing traffic to your site from search engines. Out of all of the on page factors, image ALT & TITLE tags seems to be one of the most underused. This great plugin will automatically update all images with ALT and TITLE tags, the plugin will even add these tags to images that do not have them according to the options you have selected.

Google XML Sitemaps – This is a very useful WordPress plugin, it will create an XML sitemap for your site that will allow it to be indexed better by the major search engines including Google, Bing, Yahoo and Ask.com. Search engines crawlers will be able to use it to see the full structure of your site and notify them whenever any new content is added.

XML sitemaps are very useful as they allow search engines to index pages that are not linked to your site that you wish to be indexed. It tells them the last modified date of pages, how frequently a page is updated so the crawlers know when to check back for new content or updated content and it will allow you to indicate the priority of particular pages within your site.

Review: A Surefire Way To Get Free One-Way Backlinks On Autopilot?

If you just cannot seem to gain page rank in Google and other major search engines, there is a key SEO tactic you are likely missing. That tactic is one way link building. And, you may be going about it in the wrong way. There is athe right way to gain hundreds of Google backlinks and Yahoo backlinks with a simple system

There is a new system that claims to be the answer to this problem, especially for article markters, one that guarantees hundreds of Google backlinks simply by writing and submitting articles in a new way. They claim it is the future of article marketing. In fact, the creators claim it has no disadvantages! This review looks at the system to see if it is plausible.

The Plus Side of Article Marketing

The advantages of using article marketing to facilitate one way link building have long since been proven.

As article marketers, we know that Google, Yahoo, and other search engines thrive on quality content. Search engines reward the creators of new, useful, and interesting content with better search engine rankings.

Embeded within that high ranked content are links leading back to the website or blog of the creator of that content. Each backlink to that highly ranked content is actually a vote for the creator of that content and gives the creator’s website or blog higher visibility.

Quality content with hundreds of one way backlinks will land you on the first page of most search engines. The result is a flood of targeted traffic leading back to you. This is how article marketing has worked.

In the past, “link love” from search engines towards backlinks from articles was super successful as a traffic generator. For many years, article marketers profited nicely even though the content they created only had to be of marginal quality. Quality content was not necessary because there was not much competition for keywords and search engine position. The truth is, backlinking was pretty much a strategy employed only by SEO experts and some wise marketers. They dominated the search engine rankings for years for their desired keywords.

The Negative Side of Article Marketing

Today, article marketing is a lot more sophisticated. Keyword research tools are readily available and there are hundreds, if not thousands, of tutorials teaching how to write quality content that is keyword rich. And, as if article marketing was not fiercely competitive already, content thieves have entered the scene and have added another twist that makes article marketing tougher that ever.

Some of these thieves will republish your article but they may delete your backlinks from your Author Box, claim authorship, or insert their own backlinks to steal your hard work and traffic.

This is the major downside of trying to get backlinks with articles the traditional way.

Once you have submitted your article to any of the article directories, you lose control over your article when it is published. You cannot fault article directory administrators. They are glad to have your quality content so they leave your writing intact should they decide to publish it.

One of the major ways your content can be stolen is by “scraping.” Article thieves are using software that automatically crawls through article directories to “scrape” the articles, by category, for republishing elsewhere. These software tools provide the thief with your finished article. Then, all they do is change the article Title slightly and the insert their own backlinks in your Author Box.

In addition to stealing your entire work from article directories and automatically altering backlinks in your Author Box, they use other kinds of software to skim just a snippet of your article. Many times they skim just the first few lines or a complete paragraph of your article.

They publish your snippet to a list of many others so they can populate their sites with content to attract the search engines. Remember, search engines need fresh content. In this case the thief includes a link back to the article directory. This tactic is used to create so-called made-for-Adsense sites.

The site creator knows, when a visitor gets to the site and sees nothing but a bunch of snippets, they likely will click on one of the Adsense ads and the site creator makes money. These guys have hundreds or thousands of such sites and make a bundle with this tactic.

The “Free Traffic System” Could Be The Answer

The creators of Free Traffic System have a large number of member blogs in a wide variety of niches. They guarantee that their member blogs, where your writing is published, will retain your backlinks. You would think that such a claim cannot honestly be backed up. Well, as it turns out, Free Traffic System has found a way to virtually eliminate the problem of plagiarism.

Administrators of Free Traffic System monitor their member blogs. Those blog owners who replace your backlinks will be deleted from the Free Traffic System and lose access to future quality content. Surprisingly, this has yet to happen.

What About The Duplicate Content Penalty?

The issue of duplicate content is debatable. Some SEO experts say there is no such thing. Others say there certainly is and it can cost you. Here is the argument for the duplicate content penalty. You decide.

The argument is: When your unedited article is republished on numerous sites, like article directories, Google quickly classifies this content as duplicate content because the algorithm reads that a large number of your backlinks are being linked from sites carrying your identical writing and linking back from them to you.

While there is no hard proof that Google will punish your backlinks, those who support the duplicate content argument claim that Google dramatically lowers the SEO value of backlinks built from duplicate content pages and lowers your page rank.

Rather than further debate the issue, I would rather be on the safe side and avoid it completely. The creators of Free Traffic System agree and have provided an easy way of spinning articles automatically for you.

The Mega Article Spinner

Free Traffic System has built in software that spins your articles to make each one unique enough, even if the article is republished on a large number of blogs, to be seen as one-of-a-kind content.

All you do is take your original article, do some simple editing, and Free Traffic System automatically creates dozens, even hundreds of versions, that make sense to the reader. These are not the kind of garbled spun articles you are used to. You know the type I mean.

You determine the depth of editing and the content. You can dedicate 5 minutes or 30 minutes to get this done. It’s fairly simple and fully explained at Free Traffic System. The end result is that each of the articles will be seen as unique for Google and other search engines. And, this will instantly increase the value of your backlinks.
