WordPress Plugins for SEO and Link Building

by Jack Humphrey on Jul 31

SEO Plugin for WordPress

All In 1 SEO – This is the WordPress standard bearer for optimizing your blog for the search engines.  Install it and let it optimize your posts and pages for you!  Check out the documentation on the plugin site to see what all it can do and what all the controls mean. 

In my Webside Chat with Nathon Anderson, Nathan goes over the proper setup procedure for All in 1 SEO.  Take a listen!

Internal Linking Plugin for WordPress

Cross Linker – This plugin allows you to link any keywords or phrases anywhere in your blog to other pages.  Use to build your internal linking and link popularity of certain pages of your site for certain keywords.  Also can be used to link to other sites, like affiliate products, by changing keywords to links throughout your blog with the click of a button!

Link Building Plugin for WordPress

Related Websites – This is a fantastic link building plugin!  It has increased my backlinks considerably and I can’t believe more people are not using it.  The plugin is solid, does an incredibly hard job with no effort on your part, and enhances bloggers’ ability to grab links from each other that are relevant and really do work to get you higher link popularity!  No brainer.  Install this one today!

    Thanks for sharing the Related Sites plugin Jack!

    I was wondering how you were doing it :-) I should have asked a while back. I use Zemanta for related sites but it requires manual interaction! Looks like this one is Superb for more automated approach

    I have been using related website plugin for a month and it really increase the traffic of my blog, but to be honest, this plugin’s true potential is still unknown, since the traffic that it had increase in a months is not much.

    But still is worth the try… may be you should see if there is a way to actually use this plugin to it fullest potential.

    I’ve read that the Cross Linker plugin is horrible performance-wise… to the level that it creates thousands of database queries. See:

    I use it on some of my sites, but it concerns me. Of course I’m too lazy to go look at the database queries.

    @Bad – Typically your direct traffic is going to pale in comparison to the search engine effect with this plugin. It is an indirect benefit: the links get you higher rankings which brings in the serious search traffic.

    Direct traffic from the sites linking in themselves should be considered icing on the cake…a bonus!

    @Lazy – I hadn’t heard that. Will check it out.

    @Alex – Yep – that’s how I do it. Looks harder to implement than setting up the plugin after installing. Takes a few minutes and you have links to further valuable content on your site and others’ sites.

    Great for readers. Great for traffic. Great for SEO.

    I would like to know how the related websites plugin helps in SEO? Don’t you think automated link exchanges is strictly forbidden by google?

    I use the first two plugins on some websites but the All in one SEO is on every website I make… The comment about the crosslinker and the database queery worries me…Has anyone else had a problem with cross linker….?

    I have not tried the related site plugin because I have a related post plugin that keeps my visitors on my website going from one artilce to the next.
