The fact that having a website is good for your business may sound like a cliché given the number of times you may have heard it already. But what you may not know yet is that just having a website is not a guarantee for success. With so many websites on the internet, your business will only do well if people actually find your site. This is why you need to do search engine optimization or SEO. This helps your site to come up, on or near the top of search results and so people visit it more frequently. And with some good WordPress plug ins for SEO, you work can become that much easier.
In case you are not yet aware, WordPress is a free and open source blog publishing application that can be used for basic website content management. It is powered by PHP and SQL data and can help you select the right tags that can help your site zoom up on the pages of search results.
Here are some good WordPress plug ins for SEO that you may consider using.
1. All in One SEO pack: this is a very popular plug in and can help you choose the best titles, keywords and avoid duplicate content too.
2. Automatic SEO links: this particular plug in has advantages such as:
•The freedom to choose a word for internal as well as external automatic linking.
•Setting anchor texts
•Selecting between ‘nofollow’ and ‘dofollow’ tags.
•The linking will only be done for the first appearance of a word in your site and so there is no fear of spamming with numerous links of the same thing.
3. Google XML Sitemaps: although the name suggests that this is exclusively for Google, this plug in can create sitemaps which can also be read by Ask, MSN, and Yahoo etc.
4. HeadSpace 2: if you are looking to add meta data, specific JavaScript’s and cascading style sheets this is the plug in that you need. It can also suggest tags for your blog posts.

It maintains a log of the previous settings and thus the page status remains intact.
8. SEO friendly and HTML valid subheadings: if you are using WordPress themes, some of them can confuse your sub header tags, but this plug in automatically resets them, thus making them more SEO friendly.
