Best SEO Plugins for Wordpress
Here i am going to list some of the best SEO plugins for your wordpress blog. Wordpress is very famous because it is one of the most SEO-friendly Content Management System (CMS). These plugins will help your blog rank easier in search engines and will bring you a lot of traffic. Take note that these plugins alone will not bring traffic to your site, you should also have good unique content and get more links to your site.
- Platinum SEO Pack - Optimizes your Wordpress blog for Search Engines (Search Engine Optimization).
- Meta Robots WordPress plugin - There’s no easy way to add meta robots tags to WordPress pages, unless of course, when you install this plugin.
- Google XML Sitemaps - This plugin will create a Google sitemaps compliant XML-Sitemap of your WordPress blog. It supports all of the WordPress generated pages as well as custom ones. Everytime you edit or create a post, your sitemap is updated and all major search engines that support the sitemap protocol, like ASK.com, Google, MSN Search and YAHOO, are notified about the update.
- HeadSpace2 SEO - HeadSpace2 is an all-in-one meta-data manager that allows you to fine-tune the SEO potential of your site.
- SEO Friendly Images - SEO Friendly Images is a Wordpress optimization plugin which automatically updates all images with proper ALT and TITLE attributes. If your images do not have ALT and TITLE already set, SEO Friendly Images will add them according the options you set. Additionally this makes the post W3C/xHTML valid as well.
ALT attribute is important part of search engine optimization. It describes your image to search engine and when a user searches for a certain image this is a key determining factor for a match.
TITLE attribute play lesser role but is important for visitors as this text will automatically appear in the tooltip when mouse is over the image. - SEO No Duplicate - This simple plugin helps you easily tell the search engine bots the preferred version of a page by specifying the canonical properly within your head tag.
Why would you do such a thing? Simply because many black-hat SEO folks abuse duplicate content to gain search ranking and search engine try really hard to detect and penalize them. The last thing you want to do is present yourself as an SEO spammer to search engines. - SEO Title Tag - Title tags are arguably the most important of the on-page factors for search engine optimization (”SEO”). It blows my mind how post titles are also used as title tags by WordPress, considering that post titles should be catchy, pithy, and short-and-sweet; whereas title tags should incorporate synonyms and alternate phrases to capture additional search visibility.
Now, thankfully, there is a solution, allowing you to decouple post titles from title tags. Introducing… the SEO Title Tag WordPress plugin.
SEO Title Tag makes is dead-easy to optimize the title tags across your WordPress-powered blog or website. Not just your posts, not just your home page, but any and every title tag on your site! If this plugin, along with a few hours of keyword research and copywriting of optimized titles, doesn’t make a significant impact on your search traffic, you’re doing something wrong! - Simple Tags - Simple Tags is the successor of Simple Tagging Plugin This is THE perfect tool to manage perfeclty your WP 2.3, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8 tags
It was written with this philosophy : best performances, more secured and brings a lot of new functions.

Thank you for this great list of plug ins. I never knew self pings would hurt in search engine rankings and if this is true I think Wordpress should do something about it to. I will use the plug-in until then. Think I will use the SEO Friendly images as well.
