So which are the Best WordPress Plugins for SEO in 2010? Within the past year, a lot of changes have been implemented that have affected how search engine optimization works.\u00a0\u00a0 The growth of social media sites, Google\u2019s \u201cCaffeine,\u201d \u201cReal Time Search,\u201d and \u201cPersonalized Search,\u201d are a few of the primary catalysts.<\/p>\n

Best WordPress SEO Plugins<\/h3>\n

I believe the following WordPress plugins are especially relevant and valuable for search engine optimization in 2010.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. SEO Smart Links<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 This SEO-friendly plugin can automatically link keywords and phrases to related comments, posts, pages, and categories within your site. This makes less prominent pages or older content more relevant and crawl-able for search engines, and keeps site visitors engaged. It also lets you set \u201cnofollow\u201d tags on URL\u2019s and create custom keyword lists with automated URL hyperlinks for individual terms.<\/li>\n
  2. I Love Social Bookmarking<\/a><\/strong> –\u00a0 I.L.S.B. is a great way to encourage blog readers to rank your post on popular social media sites.\u00a0 In the past year, sites like Digg, Delicious, StumbleUpon, and Sphinn have become major resources for driving relevant traffic to quality site content.\u00a0 This plug in inserts an attractive drop-down menu next to your blog posts that allows readers to submit or rank your site content on a number of popular social media sites, without leaving your blog.<\/li>\n
  3. WP to Twitter<\/a><\/strong> \u2014Twitter is an ideal space for (viral) content sharing since users are constantly engaged in niche conversations.\u00a0 Now that Google\u2019s Social Search indexes tweets at the top of SERP\u2019; more tweets\/retweets = more indexing power.\u00a0 WP to Twitter is a plugin that automatically tweets a tiny URL link to new blog posts or blog edits on your site.\u00a0\u00a0 Without any additional effort, your content is distributed to a relevant, willing audience; this can drive relevant traffic and increase your presence in social search results.<\/li>\n
  4. WP-Super-Cache<\/a><\/strong> \u2014This plug in contributes to your site speed and it helps your blog load faster.\u00a0 The number of pages on your blog that a search engine will index on a daily basis increases with speed.\u00a0 If indexing each page is a quicker endeavor, more pages will be indexed.\u00a0 WP-Super-Cache creates static html pages from your WordPress blog so your server will present this file instead of the much denser PHP script.\u00a0 This will also help fortify your server when it is receiving a high amount of traffic, which can result from all your other great SEO strategies!\u00a0 This is because this plug in serves a static html page to 99% of your site visitors.<\/li>\n
  5. Robots Meta<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 Robots Meta automatically inserts \u201cnofollow\u201d tags on internal site links that are irrelevant to search crawlers; this keeps search engines from wasting time indexing unimportant pages like results, login, and admin pages, instead directing crawlers to index primary site content.<\/li>\n
  6. SEO Slug<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 Blog post titles typically get an h1-h3 heading, which makes them very important in terms of keyword optimization.\u00a0 SEOSlug optimizes blog post titles to improve search engine visibility by editing keyword strings. It removes conjunctions from titles, (words like \u201cas\u201d and \u201cif\u201d) to allow crawlers to more readily crawl main content keywords as a fluid string.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
