For wordpress: SEO Auto Links & Related Posts - Awesome wordpress plugin. SEO SearchTerms Tagging 2 - Not as good as the one above - but pretty good for keyword stuffing. For Keyword search: And for keywords and popular topics Google Insights for search. And Google Trends - if any thing relevant pops up.
All in One SEO Plugin - that's the one I use for seo, meta tags and shit, although I prefer to leave the tags, descriptions and stuff open - as Google chooses the best anyway, let google decide what's relevant I say. I only used that because it can be a pain in the ass for Facebook to input proper descriptions and shit in the likes or shares on FB and that kinda helps it out.
Yea yea i love market samurai!! - not hmm scrapebox is epic, has alot of white hat applications too. e.g find high pr domains to manually comments
I used All in one SEO plugin for more than two years and recently I started switching to Yoast. Still I can say that All in one SEO plugin is cool though I am much impressed with Yoast SEO plugin.
Yeah I don't want to screw with my SEO or plugin - A) Because I am doing well now and B) I finally stripped short codes and junk from posting to Facebook - that was my biggest issue and only reason for using it LOL... I don't use tags or descriptions - they're to restrictive and I like Google to choose what is relevant.
Article Samurai has been a nice little upgrade from Market Samurai, The Best Spinner has also been very valuable. I am looking at the many uses for Scrapebox now and am on the fence, thinking i may pick it up...
I too use all in one seo for some of my old websites for the same reason. I don't use meta tags but I use meta description for some of my sites.
My keywords are in the title of the post and in the first 50 or so words in my post, so Google uses my title as the meta tags etc and the first 50 words or whatever as the description - in my opinion the Meta Tags were an old way to notify Google about your page - now Google has the ability to decide for itself... my index page is the same and it's listed in multiple searches in Google - compared to meta data that would restrict the search results volume.
I see many of the top authority blogs follow the same method. Yeah, that sounds cool and I am going to try this on my next authority site that I am building during this vacation. Thank you for your valuable thoughts!
