There is no doubt that the All In One SEO Pack for WordPress is the ultimate SEO Plugin that you have been waiting for. The plugin has undergone many updates since I first blogged about the benefits of this plugin in a previous post and it just keeps on getting better and better!

I love it!

Because this plugin has been updated so often, there has been a small bit of confusion about the exact download location for it. The latest version of the plugin can be downloaded from here, and it is well worth checking the creators blog page here; All In One SEO Pack for WordPress, which features the latest news about updated versions.

Video Tutorial

And now Tubetorial has just released a new All In One SEO Pack Video Tutorial about this great plugin. The video is Part 1 of a brand new 7-Part series called “7 Must Have Killer Plugins”. I would definitely agreed that the All In One SEO Pack should be first and the tutorial is sure to be of use to those that may be discovering this plugin for the first time, or even those that have been using it for a while and would just like to see what new features have been added recently. A great tutorial and I’m already looking forward to the other 6 videos in this series.

This is a fantastic new plugin for WordPress which does a great job of optimizing your blog for the search engines such as Google, MSN and Yahoo.

The plugin does several things at once in order to do the Search Engine Optimization (‘SEO’ for short) for your WordPress blog;

The plugin optimizes all your blog titles for you. Post titles are hugely important for SEO and with this plugin these will be re-written on the fly, with the actual post title coming first, then your blog name. E.g. the post title for this post will become something like ‘All In One SEO Plugin | Blogcarta.com’ instead of the default method of having the blog title first and the post title second, ‘Blogcarta.com | All In One SEO Plugin‘. This also means there will be no more Archive, etc, in your title.

Secondly, categories for a post will get output as Meta keywords. Since posts are already tagged with categories they will be automatically added as Meta keywords. Additional keywords can be added in the Write Post page in the admin area. Also with this plugin post excerpts will become the Meta description for the post.

Thirdly, pages that are just fillers (category pages etc.) will automatically get a content=”noindex,follow” to avoid the duplicate content issue in the search engines.

This is a very effective plugin and well worth adding to your blog. It’s simply a matter of uploading the plugin and activating it to give your blog a great SEO boost.

A new theme called Anaconda has recently been released and it is perhaps the most complete theme design that I have come across in a while.

Anaconda is a flexible, 3 column WordPress theme which is designed entirely using CSS. The middle column and left sidebar are flexible and adjusts to browser size. The theme is also SEO optimized! It seems my search for a good CSS based, 3 column WordPress theme is finally over!

Plugins Supported

Anaconda has inbuilt support for 15 popular WordPress plugins out of the box. The theme is designed to work perfectly with all these plugins;

Widgets Supported

Anaconda is also 100% widget ready and provides 17 builtin WordPress widgets for you to extensively customize your site without writing or modifying a single line of code! The following widgets are integrated into the Anaconda theme directly, or are available as a separate plugin/widget;

• About Widget (built-in)
• Angsuman’s Translator Plugin Pro (Plugin & Widget)
• Archive Widget (built-in)
• Aside Widget (built-in)
• Calendar Widget (built-in)
• Categories Widget (built-in)
• Delicious Widget (built-in)
• Flickr Widget (built-in)
• Links Widget (built-in)
• Meta Widget (built-in)
• Pages Widget (built-in)
• Recent Comments Widget (built-in)
• Recent Posts Widget (built-in)
• Related Posts Widget (built-in)
• RSS Widget (built-in)
• Search Widget (built-in)
• Tag Cloud Widget (built-in; requires Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin)
• Text Widget (built-in) – You can create upto 9 text widgets to include your custom text in sidebar.
• Google Search Widget (comes with widget plugin)
• Del.icio.us Widget

You can place any of the above onto one of your sidebars by simply dragging and dropping them from your Sidebar Widgets control panel under the Presentation menu.

Configuration

The Anaconda Theme will work, without any configuration, right out of the box. However, it has been designed to be extensively customizable for those who need it. Customizations can be easily done using the Anaconda Options control panel in the Presentation theme menu. The theme has built-in support for inline and sidebar asides. It also supports Ajax commenting, Live search, fixed width layout if required.

Conclusion & Download

This has to be one of the best themes I have seen this year and it is a likely contender to replace the current theme of this blog!

Happy New Year!!!!!!

Pilkster has just released a new theme called SEO Adsense Ready for WordPress. This theme follows on from the last post which featured the Adsense Ready Theme which was also created by Pilkster.

This new theme features a full Adsense integration and also generates search engine friendly web pages! At first glance the theme may look a little basic as there are no header images or any other kind of graphics. But, this theme is focused on being search engine friendly and you have to remember that using images has very little SEO benefit!

Search Engine Friendly Webpages

The theme implements several search engine optimization (SEO) techniques, such as;

• the ‘title’ and ‘h1′ tags contain the most relevant information
• on a post page, the post title is used,
• on a category the category title is used… etc.

This should give Search Engines a better understanding of your page, and so improve your ranking for that page. Also, instead of your websites name (eg. BlogCarta.com) being used in every result, the page title or category title will be used. This is a much more useful and appealing result for search engines.

Integrated Adsense Configuration

Adsense integration includes 3 ad units per page and 1 link unit, the maximum Google allows. The theme also includes Adsense for Search instead of the standard WordPress search. The only customization required is to change the adsense pub-id number in the following files;

• footer.php – ( 728×90 Ad Unit )
• header.php – ( 728×15 Link Unit )
• searchform.php – ( Adsense for Search )
• sidebar.php – ( 336×280 Ad Unit ) and ( 160×600 Ad Unit )

Download

This is another great theme by pilkster as it can be used for an instant seo friendly, adsense website or as the basic building block for a whole new website design.

Happy Xmas !!!!
