I’m a longtime fan of Yoast’s WordPress plugins. They’re powerful, flexible and nearly easy enough for beginners (at least, with a little light reading). He also keeps them updated regularly and allows for some of the cool, new functionality like rel=author (to be fair, you can do this without the plugin, too).

So: WordPress Plugins – Free & Reliable – Yoast.

    So true! It is the most complete WordPress SEO plugin out of the 4 I’ve tried. I’ve had websites ranking 1st page only 2 days after releasing them on the web (for lower competition keywords, but still).

    I find All-in-One SEO much better and less of a complicated Chinese box to set up than – plus now the plug-in includes Sitemaps and other SEO toys which are as easy to set up. Yoast’s plug-in is unnecessarily complex and really – we should be doing titles and descriptions and getting on with building good websites – not picking the fluff, thread by thread out of our navels. That’s what Google Webmaster SEO recommends, so I’m going with All-in-one SEO.

    AIO SEO Pack is a good solution, also, thanks for your input.
