The other day a friend of mine asked me to recommend some WordPress plugins to make his site more SEO friendly.

And to be honest, I could only think of one: the All in One SEO Pack. Sure there’s lots of things you can do, but to get the most fundamental things right, you need the SEO Pack.

As the name implies, this little plugin does it all — it takes care of your page titles, descriptions, keywords — and even your duplicate content. What more could you ask for from an SEO plugin?

How to Use the All in One SEO Pack

Using the SEO Pack is actually very simple. Once you get the plugin activated go to Settings and click on All in One SEO

The options here are pretty much self explanatory … and if you’re new to any of it, just click on the option title (for example: Home Title, or Home Description) to get a description of what it does.

Below you can see the descriptions after I clicked on all the option titles. Easy stuff huh?

This main page is for configuring the main SEO settings for your site. Like the title and description of your home page and all the defaults for the site (I’ll explain the defaults later).

But remember each post and page will have its own SEO configuration, and it’s located below your text box, tags and categories:

Here you can control the title, description, and keywords for each post and page.

How does this affect my old posts & pages?

Now you might be thinking, what happens to my old posts then? do I have to go back to each and every one to enter in all this stuff?

You can if you want to, but you don’t have to. This is where your main configuration page comes in — you can have the SEO pack fill this information for you and the best part is, you get to decide what it is.

The defaults include:

• your post/page title | blog title — when the title section is left blank
• blog description — the one you enter on the main configuration page is used when the description section is blank
• tags are used as keywords — when you don’t enter any keywords in

Now this will work for all of your old posts and anytime you don’t fill this info in on your posts or pages.

What does all of this do exactly?

Well the page title and description is what shows up in search engine results when your page is listed in Google, Yahoo, or other search engines:

And the keywords that you enter are used by search engines to index your pages so that when searchers type in those keywords your page comes up.

Now you know why it is so important to have an accurate title, a catchy description and the right keywords — and how the All in One SEO Pack can help you control all of this.

Still Confused?

Here’s my suggestion: install the plugin and play around with all the options. You’ll notice very quickly how easy this stuff really is.

You might even have the same reaction my friend had after he installed and configured this plugin. He said the All in One SEO Pack works like a charm! And I couldn’t agree more.
