Installing All in One SEO Pack plugin for Wordpress

Its as easy as it gets with Wordpress – upload to your plugins folder, activate the plugin via the plugins menu within your Wordpress Dashboard and then edit the options to your liking.

What does it do?

This plugin will optimise your Wordpress blog so that your posts and pages are indexed more efficiently by the search engines.

Amongst the things this plugin does

Lets you independently define your homepage title, description and keywords
Lets you define your post, page, category, archive, tag and search title formats
Avoids the indexing of duplicate content (so often a problem with blogs when an archive page will contain the same information as a post for example).
Auto-generates descriptions
Gives you the option to set ‘noindex’ for archives and categories
Lets you define the Meta description, keywords and title of a post or page

Using the plugin

I found the plugin to be extremely well thought out and the options were easy to understand and well laid out. If anything there were more options than I was expecting and everything did exactly what it said it would do.

One recommendation that I would make is that you don’t use the default settings as the post, page, category, archive and tag title are all set to contain the blog title. Instead, try removing the blog title to give more importance to your keyword-rich titles.
