Yesterday I talked about the Contextual Partnership plugin and how helpful it is for getting backlinks. Today, I want to talk about the All In One SEO plugin and how it is a must have wordpress plugin for your blog. This free plugin can be found by going to your plugin section in your dashboard and do an add new. Then in the search box search for All in One SEO and it will find it. You can download it and then activate it. You then click on Settings in the left column and go about setting up your site to optomize it for SEO.
Here the settings I use for another blog and this blog.
As the name implies, this will be the title of your homepage. This is independent of any other option. If not set, the default blog title will get used.
A comma separated list of your most important keywords for your site that will be written as META keywords on your homepage. Don’t stuff everything in here.
This option will automatically generate Canonical URLS for your entire WordPress installation. This will help to prevent duplicate content penalties by Google.
Note that this is all about the title tag. This is what you see in your browser’s window title bar. This is NOT visible on a page, only in the window title bar and of course in the source. If set, all page, post, category, search and archive page titles get rewritten. You can specify the format for most of them. For example: The default templates puts the title tag of posts like this: ‚ÄúBlog Archive >> Blog Name >> Post Title‚Äù (maybe I’ve overdone slightly). This is far from optimal. With the default post title format, Rewrite Title rewrites this to ‚ÄúPost Title | Blog Name‚Äù. If you have manually defined a title (in one of the text fields for All in One SEO Plugin input) this will become the title of your post in the format string.
Check this if you want your categories for a given post used as the META keywords for this post (in addition to any keywords and tags you specify on the post edit page).
Check this if you want your keywords on a custom posts page (set it in options->reading) to be dynamically generated from the keywords of the posts showing on that page. If unchecked, it will use the keywords set in the edit page screen for the posts page.
What you enter here will be copied verbatim to your header on post pages. You can enter whatever additional headers you want here, even references to stylesheets.
What you enter here will be copied verbatim to your header on pages. You can enter whatever additional headers you want here, even references to stylesheets.
What you enter here will be copied verbatim to your header on the home page. You can enter whatever additional headers you want here, even references to stylesheets.
Check this and SEO pack will create a log of important events (all_in_one_seo_pack.log) in its plugin directory which might help debugging it. Make sure this directory is writable.
Now my settings are not locked in stone and if you want to set them up differently that is fine. I find that these settings work best for me.
