There are many excellent posts on WordPress SEO. Plugins are one of the best ways of getting your WordPress SEO up to scratch and I will focus on the best plugins for SEO in this post. As I mentioned in my earlier post “Bristol SEO Experiment” I have used Joost de Valk’s article on WordPress SEO as a starting point for this site.
This has obviously worked, as I now rank at number two in Google for Bristol SEO, and I’m certain that I can target other keyword phrases, and not be hampered by my competition with Cole which forbids me from linking from other locations using appropriate anchor text.
Despite Joost’s excellent advice I have also gone my own way on a few things, as plugins have updated or I’ve seen new ones I like the look of, so following are seven plugins that everyone serious about SEO for WordPress should install.

Having risen even higher up the Google rankings for Bristol SEO (currently showing at number two) I checked my rankings out on Yahoo! and Live.com. It turns out that as anticipated I am nowhere. One of the first things I did back in August was to submit my site to Google Webmaster Tools, but I didn’t submit to Yahoo! Site Explorer, Live.com Webmaster Center or Ask.com. As there are no links to my site, this means that none of these search engines will know about me.
It seems apparent from my Google success that having links into your site with keyword rich anchor text is less of an important factor than most people would have you believe, and that in fact submitting your site using webmaster tools and having good internal links and metadata is a far more important than I had initially thought.
