Top 10 Wordpress SEO Plugins
My top 10 Wordpress SEO Plugins.
1. All-in-One SEO Pack
The All in One SEO Pack enables search engines to more easily understand the content of your blog posts. You can automatically optimize titles, Meta keywords, descriptions and avoid duplicate content indexing.
2. Google Sitemaps Generator
An invaluable plugin creating a static xml file to enable Google, Yahoo! and MSN Search to intelligently crawl the pages of your wordpress blog. The xml file gets automatically rebuilt when you write or edit a post and Google is informed via Google-Ping. This type of sitemap also has SEO purposes as it will place a link to every page/post on your blog, not to mention the fact that it’s helpful for visitors.
3. Internal Link Building Plugin
The power of internal linking is most often overlooked, but often a couple of keyword-rich links is the best way to kick your SEO rankings go high.
4. Related Posts/ Similar Posts Plugin
Benefits both readers and search engines by allowing them to explore your blog more easily. A word of warning, make sure you set the options field “how many pages you would like to show” to at least 1, or you get a MySQL error!
5. Redirection Wordpress Plugin
Redirection Wordpress Plugin is mostly treated as a plugin that helps you avoid your SEO mistakes. It helps your blog pages stay in tune and redirects all your error pages to more relevant pages.
6. Crawl Rate Tracker Plugin
Plugin for Wordpress that allows you to track crawl activity for MSN, Yahoo & Google from your dashboard.

7. WordPress SEO Master
The SEO Master Plugin has two modules, the no follow module and the meta module. Like some of the other plugins listed, it will let you add and customize meta tags, but it will also let you tell WordPress to add no follow tags to different types of links.
8. Ultimate Tag Warrior
The Ultimate Tag Warrior is a powerful, well-known and respected tagging solution. It benefits site optimization as well as providing further channels of navigation for readers. Among many features and customizations, you can add tags to posts, retrieve suggested tags by Yahoo! keywords, generate categories and choose from numerous formatted templates. The overall seo benefits are vast but what it obviously does it help you when targeting certain keywords in the search engines.
9. KB Robots.txt
With a robots.txt file you can specify which search engines crawl what files on your site. KB Robots.txt generates the file and gives examples of common usages. It should be noted that if your blog is hosted on a subdirectory, this plugin will be useless to you, since it wont then generate to the root directory - the only place where search engines look for your robots.txt.
10. AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget
Help your visitor promote your website or blog. Put the AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget on your site or blog, so any visitor can easily bookmark it. The widget works with all popular bookmarking services.
