Which are the latest plugins to add to your wordpress blog to make it google friendly? I have added html sitemap and related posts on my new blog. What next? Sincerely, Santosh Manek
SEO AIO is always, always on the list for me (SEO All-In-One pack). It doesn't add anything as such, but it sure as heck makes the ins and outs of SEO a lot easier!
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/ Simple enough: it just adds visible fields to the posting page, so you can fill in the SEO stuff like keywords, and automates much of the process (if you don't fill stuff in) by generating keywords from tags, applying noindex to category lists (if desired), etc.
These are the required Plugin : Ultimate seo, xml sitemap, Google integration kit, social sharing plugin ( wp social), related post plugin, to stop spamming comment spam plugin etc.
Before searching google friendly plugins you should to know that your content is what Google will judge. Not your plugins. If your content will attract your visitors or help them, your site will become naturally google friendly... even with no plugin ;-)
I use YOAST SEO plugin. It's free and it is... a BEAST! In addition to helping you set your title and meta description, it also helps you with your actual content by reminding you of kw density.
One plugin that is often overlooked is w3 total cache. Many people don't realize that the speed of your site is actually important these days in terms of rankings. If you have a very slow site you are going to have a high bounce rate and it will not rank as high. The All In One SEO plugin is the other important one to use.
I hate that plugin. i never know what to choose and what not choose. In the settings for that plugin.
You can use All-in-one-seo, Free traffic getting plugin by Jeff Johnson and I highly recommend this as it comes pre-loaded with other seo plugins. Hope this helps
