SEO Title Tag WordPress Plugin »

Title tags are arguably the most important of the on-page factors for search engine optimization (“SEO”). It blows my mind how post titles are also used as title tags by WordPress, considering that post titles should be catchy, pithy, and short-and-sweet; whereas title tags should incorporate synonyms and alternate phrases to capture additional search visibility.

Now, thankfully, there is a solution, allowing you to decouple post titles from title tags. Introducing… the SEO Title Tag WordPress plugin.

SEO Title Tag makes is dead-easy to optimize the title tags across your WordPress-powered blog or website. Not just your posts, not just your home page, but any and every title tag on your site! If this plugin, along with a few hours of keyword research and copywriting of optimized titles, doesn’t make a significant impact on your search traffic, you’re doing something wrong!

Features include:

*

Allows you to override a page’s or a post’s title tag with a custom one.
*

A Title Tag input box in the Edit Post and Write Post forms. (Previously in version 1.0 you had to use the Custom Field box.)
*

Mass editing of title tags for all posts, static pages, category pages, tag pages, tag conjunction pages, archive by month pages, – indeed, any URL – all in one go.
*

Mass editing of slugs for all posts and static pages.
*

Define a custom title tag for your home page (or, more accurately, your Posts page, if you have chosen a static Front Page set under Options -> Reading), through the Options -> SEO Title Tag page in the WordPress admin.
*

Define the title tag of 404 error pages, also through Options -> SEO Title Tag.
*

Handles internal search result pages too.
*

Title tags of category pages can optionally be set to the category description. If you use a Meta Tag plugin like Add Meta Tags, then you should not use this feature and instead let the Meta Tag plugin use the category description for the meta description on category pages.
*

If you choose to keep the blog name in your title tags (not recommended!), the order of the blog name and the title are automatically reversed, giving more keyword prominence to the title instead of the blog name. Note there is also an option to replace your blog name with a shorter blog nickname.

SEO Title Tag is authored by SEO specialist web agency Netconcepts. Version 1.0 was by Netconcepts’ president Stephan Spencer. Version 2.0 was a collaborative effort – Stephan did the concept development and Netconcepts’ code jockeys Oliver Kastler, Mike Harding, Elton Fry and Andrew Shell did all the heavy lifting. It is completely free and has been released as “open source” under the GPL license. So enjoy!

Greg’s High Performance SEO WordPress Plugin »

WordPress SEO plugins have been done before, but never like this.

Offering direct control over more than 100 separate on-page characteristics important for SEO, while loading only around 600 lines of code for each ordinary page view and playing nicely with other plugins, this plugin has been designed from the ground up for performance and compatibility. (By contrast, the most popular SEO plugin configures only around 20 characteristics, demands more than 2000 lines of code for each page view, and employs crude output buffer hacks which can sap performance and trample on many other plugins.)

This plugin is intended for anyone who wants to help search engines find their material: it’s not just for professional marketers, it’s not just for those who make their living via the web, and it’s certainly not only for developers or full-time settings tweakers.
Should You Even Use an SEO Plugin?

It’s no secret that for years, most SEO professionals have recommended against plugins for any kind of serious WordPress SEO. While fine for ‘casual’ use, up until now plugins have been unable to compete with bespoke program logic and extensive manual theme integration for flexibility, completeness, performance and scalability.

Greg’s High Performance SEO now offers to everyone the kinds of benefits previously available only to those willing to invest in expensive bespoke coding and extensively hand modified themes.

The plugin will help you to leverage the built-in capabilities of WordPress — which is already a semi-decent SEO platform right out the box — by taking important content and meta-content that would otherwise not be included on the page and making it visible and useful to humans and machines alike. This is not automatic: it will take a little effort on your part. (Genuine SEO is never automatic.) But this plugin is designed to provide a sufficiently rich palette of tools that optimizing your site as it grows can become second nature to you.

To help with that, in addition to extensive inline explanations for each of its over 100 separate settings, Greg’s High Performance SEO also includes a detailed 5000-word usage guide and introduction to WordPress SEO. So you’ll never be left in the dark as to what on Earth a particular setting should or could be used for.
What Can You Do With Greg’s High Performance SEO Plugin?

This plugin enables you to configure several important SEO characteristics in each of these five areas:

* Main title
* Head section: description, keywords, robots indexing and following instructions, canonical URLs
* Secondary title, visible in the page body
* Secondary description, visible in the page body
* Paged comments and duplicate content

(Greg’s High Performance SEO focuses exhaustively and exclusively on genuine SEO characteristics, so if you want something to fix the coffee or insert your ad code, you’ll need a different plugin for that.)

The full set of SEO characteristics can be configured for each of the following types of output:

* Home page
* Posts
* Pages
* Paged comments
* Tag archives (including support for the tag descriptions introduced in WordPress 2.8)
* Author archives
* Category archives
* Search results
* 404 page (irrelevant to SEO but helpful to site visitors)

The plugin provides configurable additions for the Post and Page writing and editing screens, as well as for the Dashboard’s QuickPress feature. All writing and editing additions can be restricted so that only contributors authorized to publish posts can use them.
Automatic Conflict Checker

A built-in conflict checker will let you know if it detects that other plugins may be using output buffering hacks that can interfere with your SEO preferences.
Support for Legacy SEO Plugins

Greg’s High Performance SEO also provides built-in support for titles and keywords left behind by alternative SEO and other legacy plugins such as:

* All in One SEO Pack
* Autometa
* HeadMeta
* Headspace
* Platinum SEO
* Related Posts
* SEO Title Tags
* wpSEO

WordPress itself seamlessly imports legacy data from several plugins, providing automatic support for the following additional plugins:

* Jerome’s Keywords
* Simple Tagging
* Ultimate Tag Warrior
