It actually depends on what you are trying to accomplish. I am in firm belief that most people want to achieve high rankings with doing as little as possible.
There are free plugins and there are premium plugins that come with a cost.

Most of the free plugins such as All-In-One-SEO http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/ only serve to give your blog the basic foundation for optimization. In no way will it lead to significantly higher rankings.
Platinum SEO Pack http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/platinum-seo-pack/ is the modified version of All-In-One and packs in more features. It's alot more comprehensive but serves the same purpose as it's predecessor.

I found only the premium plug-ins can severely impact a blog's search engine rankings because they offer more in-depth onpage optimization features. SEOPressor has worked best for me in conjunction with Platinum SEO Pack. You can read about it at the main site http://seopressor.com or here at the affiliate site where there are several bonuses that come with it http://www.bestseopluginforwordpress.com

I found with SEOPressor that it uses the current algorithms for what tends to make a page rank higher and conforms all your posts and pages to it. It seems to make all the difference. Once you point a few good links at a highly optimized page it communicates a message to the search engines that the page is highly relevant.

I did a two month A/B/C split test
A: 2 pages on the same site using only Platinum SEO Pack
B: 2 pages on the same site using only SEOPressor
C: 2 pages on the same site using both

No links were pointed to any of the 6 pages.

I got the best results with one page from group B and two pages from group C

 

I gave to agree with openmindz, seopressor does a good job.

I installed it after my web page got knocked down to position 90.

Now it's position 4 for a nice competitive term.

You do have to do a bit of work with it though but it pays off.

 

What type of work are you talking about? Are you talking about the obvious relevant link building?

 

Hi, I'm also interested in SEOpressor. I have seen it around but hesitated to get it. How long did it take you guys to work SEOpressor before you saw improvements in your ranking?

 

It didn't take long at all. You start to see upward movement the first week. If you begin pointing some "good links" to your site then you will see upward movement by leaps and bounds. Just as craigedmonds stated it is possible to go from position 90 to 4 in a short period of time with the right onpage optimization as the plugin provides for you.

 

For seo, I'm use AIO seo pack, google xml sitemap, SEO post link and YARP only. Better for me with good setting.

 

I am just installing wp and gonna try out SEOpressor, i hope to see some changes. will get back to this thread when i know.

 

That will give you a good core setup but understand that AIO SEO just provides the basic meta-data for your blog. It doesn't do what someone would hire an SEO professional to come in and do. SEOPressor does exactly that.

Google XML Sitemap is a must.

YARP is very resource intensive and will give you issues if you are hosting blogs that are very active. YARP generates related posts on the fly and for highly active blogs runs 100's or even 1000's of unnecessary queries. I had to uninstall YARP from my top blog. I am experimenting with a plug-in called Efficient Related Posts that finds related posts when a post is saved rather than when a web visitor views it.If you plan on bringing high traffic to your blog in the future then you may want to explore this plugin before that happens. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/efficient-related-posts/

 

I think All in One SEO is the best,
or if you still doubt you can ask uncle google.
kind regards

 

What do you mean ask uncle google? Did google personally say that AIO SEO is the best seo plugin to use?

 

Also does anyone know where to get SEOpressor for free?

 

it really depends on your goals. each plugins have their unique use. it must actually suite your site to get the most of it.

 

I'd go with The platinum SEO pack for starters.

 

If you're new to on-page SEO - I'd suggest All in One SEO Pack. But if you're a bit advanced - go for Wordpress SEO, a new plugin created by the Yoast-team.

 

Good SEO on Google is a combination of several factors including proper keyword descriptions in the right places in your blog, good blog performance, uncorrupted links, traffic metrics (e.g. the amount of time a visitor stays on your site), etc.

I put together a complete set of plugins that I use, and I have done pretty well against some pretty stiff competition on Google:

I started using Headspace (after dumping PlatinumSEOpack) and it helped a lot more than anything else I've tried so far. In saying that, I haven't tried SEOpressor yet and seems to be getting good reviews here at least.

The good thing about Headspace is that it's simple and helpful. It's helpful because it allows you to get suggested tags/keyword suggestions from Yahoo etc. This, coupled with [Keyword Statistics], is a great way to see what your keyword density/analysis is overall.

HeadSpace2 is very powerful. If you're using All-in-one mostly for meta, then headspace is MUCH better. It also does some other things - allows you to use custom fields in categories, etc.

 

all in one seo pack is a good plugin..
