So now you have installed the plugin lets go straight ahead on how we can use this plugin to better optimize our blog for search engines.

You should now notice a whole new array of options available to you in the wordpress admin panel with the lable SEO. just like the one the picture below.

So we will be using these features available to use through this plugin and lets see how we can do that.

1. Canonicalizer Avoid Duplicate Content Issues:

One of the main problem commonly faced by many bloggers is that their blog often getting penalized by search engines for hosting duplicate content and duplicate content doesn’t necessarily mean that you are copying your contents from somewhere else, they could be right within your site. For example when you add tags to your posts, your tag links redirects you to the same content as your post title links is it not? by default search engines consider them as seperate urls and index both this potentially increases the risk of duplicate content. Generating link rel = canonical tags will avoid such issues and tells search engines that they direct to the same content. This will let search engines to decide up on the best url it wants to index keeping you out of danger. To do so just choose canonicalizer and choose generate rel = canonical tags

2. Install Analytics And Other Tracking Codes:

Code inserter option lets you to insert the desired codes in to your blog, for example you can use it to insert the Google analytics code or if you are using any other tracking services you can use this place to insert those codes and it really does come handy and makes your job a lot more simples.

3. Comp researcher:

This option mainly lets you to use different search parameters you can use to analyze your competition in Google really quickly and easily. As far as I know there is no other plugin in wordpress which comes with this option. It should be really helpful to get a rough picture about your competition and with whom you are sharing your search results.

4.Deeplink Juggernaut:

I must say this is one of my favorite tools that comes with this plugin, if you have read my wordpress seo tutorial I was mentioning about the importance of internal links and how it could potentially affect your search rankings. With this tool your work to achieve best internal links is made possible. All you have to do is fill in the url and keyword you want that url to be linked to and update. Once your updates are done you should notice that whenever the term you have submitted here appears anywhere in your blog post it is automatically linked to the url you have mentioned here. Don’t you think that drastically reduces your work to edit each and every post to add the links to the keywords? also it improves the pagerank distribution across your site. So why not go ahead and fill in the urls and keywords you want to focus on? you can also control the maximum amount of links you want to appear on your posts through content link settings.

5. File Editor:

This option mainly helps to alter your robots.txt and .htaccess right from your admin panel. it sure does come handy rather than using your ftp to locate these files and editing it from there. This one is optional if you don’t want to use it its still fine.

6. Internal Relevance Researcher:

Again this tool can come handy when you want to search in Google for certain posts of yours with the keywords. I don’t want to put this one in detail again as its not something which you need to be bothered much in this context. So lets proceed to the next option.

7. Link Box Inserter:

This is something which I don’t use in this blog, but still I highly encourage to use this feature. What it does? it gives out the link to the post at the end of post or pages or where ever you want it to appear. Extremely helpful when people want to share your posts and pages somewhere else.

8. Meta Editor:

This option covers the important aspect of SEO, it lets you to add meta description about your blog and also to insert meta keywords. Though meta keywords are no more used by Google you can use it to focus on other search engines. Additionally it lets you to add verification codes for Google , yahoo and bing. Which is nice in my opinion.

9. More Link Customizer:

Helps you to optimize the read more links when you use more tags in your posts to avoid displaying the whole of your article in homepage. And you can optimize it to focus on the keywords you want in your more link, you can also add custom more keywords for each post using the seo settings which will be available for you under the post editor once you install this plugin.

10. No Index Manager:

No index manager mainly lets you not to prevent duplicate content by not allowing certain pages of your site to get in to index like tags pages, author archives etc.

11. sharing Facilitator:

Lets you to share your posts to social media sites by adding add this and share this button to your posts. This is something I really love to use on my blogs as it makes the job a lot easier to share your links and also build links in social media sites.

12. Slug Optimizer:

This option lets you to keep your url clean by removing unwanted words in your urls such as “in” “of” “for” etc. Eliminate the need for installing another plugin to do this job. I found it really helpful on many of my blogs.

13. Title Tag Rewriter:

Lets you to rewrite the title tags of posts, pages, tags etc very easily and all in one single area. You don’t have to go in search of codes in to your wordpress files. Again reduces lot more work for you and saves time.

14. SEO Settings:

This is something which really comes handy, this option which appears just below your post editor lets you to add meta titles, meta description, meta keywords, meta robots tag and more link text for every single post you make. Something which I love the most about this plugin. Use these areas sensibly and stand out of your competition.
